The parents, of Lititz, Pennsylvania, were charged with the misdemeanor offense after an initial investigation and consultation with the Dauphin County District Attorney’s Office, police said. Court records posted Monday showed that both await a preliminary hearing on April 28. There were no attorneys listed for them. A phone number associated with one of the parents was not working Tuesday.

The zoo is part of the entertainment complex in Hershey, featuring a chocolate-themed amusement park. The zoo’s website says it has three gray wolves.
The zoo had said in a statement that the wolf’s response “is consistent with natural animal behavior, and was not a sign of aggression.
“Our habitats are designed with multiple layers of protection, and clear signage and barriers are in place to help ensure safe viewing. Guests are expected to remain within designated areas and closely supervise children at all times,” it said.
Hersheypark made headlines last summer when a lost boy wandering a monorail line above a crowd was rescued by a park visitor who climbed onto a building and jumped onto the rails. The child was unharmed and reunited with his family.
ハーシーパークの動物園で幼児がオオカミのエリアに滑り込み、その後けがを負ったとして、両親が起訴されました。
HERSHEY、Pa.（AP）— 羊の囲いの近くのフェンスを押し抜けて動物の1頭に接触した後、ペンシルベニア州のテーマパークの動物園で幼児が軽いけがを負った件について、子どもの福祉を危険にさらしたとして、警察は親が起訴されたと発表した。
証拠によれば、親2人はいずれも、子どもから約25〜30フィート（7.6メートル〜9.1メートル）離れた、ベンのある座席エリアまで歩いており、警察はニュースリリースで、土曜日にハーシーパークのZooAmericaで何が起きているのかに気づいた際、携帯電話に注意を向けていたようだったと述べた。
子どもは木製のバリア柵の小さな開口部を通り、オオカミの展示の近くの立入制限区域に入ったと、デリー郡区警察が述べた。子どもは主要な金属製の柵の囲いに到達し、その柵越しに手を差し出した後、けがをした。
「負傷の状況から判断すると、囲いの中のオオカミの1頭が本能的に、そして自然に、その子どもの手を口でつかんだように見えます。数人の通行人が介入し、子どもを引き離すのを手伝いました」と、警察はリリースで述べた。
