Jeopardize

 A parent or parents dress their infant in a zebra suit and place it near where it can be seen and attacked by a lion, save for a pane of glass.  The child is unaware, but the animal obviously intends to feed on the child.  The aborted feeding frenzy  is videoed and every network carries the thwarted attack, for the apparent amusement of parents and the viewing public. The natural reaction would be to imagine what would have happened if the glass were not there.  Should that not be an image which normal persons would want to shut out of their minds, not welcome into the what-if venue?  Lawsuits have been settled for potentially traumatizing situations, where no actual injury has occurred:  the "suffering" part of pain and suffering.  What if the infant grows up enough to see and comprehend the video and becomes haunted by  horrifying thoughts of being eaten by a large angry animal.  Parents should protect their children wherever possible, and not exploit them for the edification of an unknown public.  People are not allowed to show potentially sexually suggestive poses of their children.  There are perverted beings who would enjoy merely looking, through the glass of their computer screens, with the child completely unaware and unharmed.   A terrible scenario, we would all agree, but contemplating what would happen to a baby being torn apart by a carnivore ranks right up there on the scale of  exploiting an innocent child.
