Well like most things it has two sides. But I'll lay my support with Murgatroyd. That child can be educated about crocs without being put in that situation. The child is one month old. Do we honestly feel the one month old needs to be educated in person by a 6 foor croc?

I have children, and I have to say there was no need to put that child in that situation. No need that couldn't have been served in another fashion.

The only need was Irwin's need for showmanship. He could do that 'educating' privately if that were his real intention.

Probably MJ was saying to his baby: "Now look below, kid. These are common people. Avoid them at all cost"

I think that it was an honest mistake...really I do. I am sure that he meant nothing by it...

Poor judgement = YES, but nothing more.

Only wildlife professionals with croc experience would know for sure if the kid was in any real danger or not.

I'm sure Steve Irwin qualifies as both and he says "no danger". I think the short story is that it's an unnecessary risk and there was little to gain. A one month-old child cannot 'learn' how to deal with/respect crocs.
