Once Upon a Time - Question #4

"Can you fix the blame for the calamity that befalls the child? What are the possible meanings for the repeated phrase "YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED"?

The tragedy that befalls the young child in the end of the story can be blamed on the parents or the "bad" neighborhood inhabitants. In my opinion, I mainly would put the blame on the parents. If these parents had not have went to extremes, the little boy would not have been mangled. On the other hand, if this extreme fence was was necessary (which I don't believe it was) then the parents should have taught and warned the boy about the danger the fence could bring. It was very ironic that the parents would try so hard to protect themselves, but ended up hurting the boy instead. I think the repeating sign "YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED" is really meant to be towards the parents. The sign was shown after each security item was added. If the parents had taken heed of their own sign, they would not have killed their son.
