Wouldn't do it myself, but gorillas are pretty mellow creatures for the most part. They seem to be clever enough to realize both that young children are babies very like their own (and thus not a threat and need to be gently treated), but not actually gorillas (and thus not a potential genetic threat, which is the only real threat I'd expect, and only from silverbacks.)
