I find it really strange that they're trying to finger Petco for this, but what can be expected of human scum such as these people? For one thing, every pet store I've been to has a guideline of what age child is appropriate for that pet. "Four month old unsupervised" is never on any of those care sheets. Though I am not a fan of the store for placing so many ferrets in homes unprepared for them, I do hope they do not lose a case to these people as I fear it might convince others that authorities knew ferrets were dangerous to children, which is just wrong. And there is no way I believe either of these parents were home and undrugged at the time of the incident. The only way I could believe they could sleep through such blood-curdling screams was if they were both drugged and/or drunk out of their minds and passed out.
