a polar bear just escaped at my local zoo. It is running in the direction of my 6th year old son. WHAT SHOULD I DO ?

Take a video. Upload to Youtube. Share link.

Leave the kid, the bear won't chase you. 

Run! It’s a myth about not being able to outrun a bear. You don’t need to. You just need to outrun someone else in your party.

In your case you should easily beat you 6 year old.

So your six year old son is about to be attacked by a Polar Bear and will die as a result and what you do is log onto Yahoo Answers.

I am not sure you are a troll. There are a lot of bad parents out there and you may very well be one of them. I suspect you also posted what was happening on Facebook and may even tweeted about it.

Get out of moms basement and get a life.

Your 6th year old son? I'd grab the other five of the litter and let the bear have one of them.

As I recall, you should kick him in the ice hole.

If in TX: draw your 44 and shoot the bear. Be written up in the papers as a hero for saving your child, being a good shot, gun rights, and the American way!

If in Alaska: shoot the bear, and have a BBQ with your friends.  Make a nice blanket.

If in CA: Let the kid be eaten. Besides, it would take too long to get into your gun safe. And, if you took the gun outside you'd get arrested on a number of counts! Be written up in the papers as a hero for caring about wild animals, and reducing the population to a sustainable level.

troll, go back under your bridge.
