And where would this hypothetical someone be allowing a theoretical kid to
approach a probabilistic bear.....with or without potential cubs?

I recall reading, years ago, that a visibly agitated Yellowstone Park
Ranger went into his supervisor's office, slapped his badge down on
his desk, and said, "I quit!"

After his supervisor calmed him down a bit, he confessed he had just
slugged a tourist. (Note: Rangers are not supposed to do that.)

Said tourist was putting his little kid on the back of a bear so his
wife could take a cute picture.
