First I am very sad that a child has lost their life due to poor choices from adults.
But as I read the different stories posted on this thread they all seem to state the owner of the snake was the boyfriend, not the father of the child. So I don't understand why the mother of this child before even living with this guy didn't make sure the snake(s) were secured in the proper way. (And if she didn't know what the proper way was do research of her own to find out) Then, after it escaped the first time didn't remove the child from the home until it was secured properly.
Actually I guess it shouldn't surprise me since so many children are killed/hurt by their own parents all the time. But still, I hope both the mother and the boyfriend as owner of the snake are charged and put in jail for this. Because of their neglect an innocent child is dead.
As for the snake I hope it recovers from it's stab wounds and is placed with a responsible owner. One who will take care of it and protect it the proper way.
