As much as I hate to say this, if the apartment had a "no pet" policy, then the snake should've never been there in the first place. But also, if the snake was properly housed and secured then this never would've happened. Bad owners=harder times for responsible keepers.

Another thing: they say that the child had "a bite mark, bruising and scratches"... SCRATCHES? How exactly DID this animal with nothing other than a mouth "scratch" your child?
