Apparently she was on her phone when it happened, according to several witnesses. The child, also according to several witnesses, was asking his mother to go into the enclosure, he wanted to go in the water. Cell phone, gorillas, other wild animals, and toddlers. None of these go together.

God protected my child until the authorities were able to get to him. My son is safe and was able to walk away with a concussion and a few scrapes... no broken bones or internal injuries.
