My sincerest hope is that the child was very quickly unconscious and actually experienced very little of the event.

If only they could be as smart as you, spouting off inaccurate facts about the state you don't live in and then arguing they don't know,what they are talking about when they correct you.

Yes, never been there or anywhere outside of my own state/region (sarcastic - which means " marked by or given to using irony in order to mock or convey contempt" -though I may have to define contempt for you).

I hope you never travel outside of the United states bible because the rest of the world cares a lot less about smacking warning labels on everything that poses even a 1 in a billion risk. Next time you go for a walk would you like there top be a sign on your door warning you that you might get hot by a car?

When you get in a can should there be a warning sign that you might get abducted?

When you walk in the woods should every tree at the perimeter earn you of bears?

At bars should every bartender tell you the dangers of drinking?

Every restaurant to warn you that you might choke?

Should every movie theater put a sign up warning you that they don't have metal detectors so you might get shot.

Seriously this was a freak accident and life is unpredictable. It is reasonable to assume that Disney was using their 30 year track record at that lagoon to assume that it was a negligible risk that this could happen.

This isn't just Floridians being cavalier. It's life, and all of you apparently wanting to have your cake and eat it to (ie live your life but in a perfectly safe bubble).

This was a horrific accident and what the family is going through is unimaginable. The entire american public circling their story like sharks trying to parcel out blame between the park and themselves is not helping. Back the eff off.

You can spew off nonsense but ultimately it will be between the lawyers - Disney has already put up barriers and new signs. Eff yourself back in hicksville.

I'm from dc. I just think you're an idiot. And of course money will change hands and new precautions will be put in place. That didn't change the fact that it was just a horrible accident or that you're a vulture feeding on the pain of others (I don't think all posters are doing that bit there are a couple really vile pieces of work in here).

You were born in dc? Lived here all your life? And then moved to Florida for some random time and a now an expert ? You are the idiot.

No, these people are taking great pride in their own ignorance and claiming that it is the duty of everyone else in the world to protect them from it. I don't blame the parents for this, but I also do not believe that Disney is responsible for protecting everyone on their grounds who may choose to ignore a "no swimming" sign from naturally occurring fauna. There are such things as accidents. They happen, and sometimes no one is to blame.

clearly logic reasoning doesn't work so perhaps you will encounter a situation in which your little blocks don't fit in and perhaps then view things differently. Ha - doubt it! i really don't care.

No I'm a different pp sherlock. Shockingly people from all over the country think you're an asshole. I was raised here and still live here and have never lived in Florida.

Again, not a naturally occuring fauna. A fauna occuring because of Disney.

An inviting beach occuring because of Disney. Lounge chairs, sand pails, and other beach stuff put there by Disney. Outdoor events taking place on said beach occuring by Disney.

The entire place - Disneyworld - is a cement jungle. There are barriers everywhere to keep people out. Warning signs everywhere, except for this.

Interesting. This thread now runs to 131 pages. The one on the mass shooting to 52. Were the fifty people who were mercilessly gunned down at Pulse nightclub more or less of a tragedy then the death of this poor boy?

Bay Lake which feeds the Seven Seas Lagoon has been known to have alligators and there are triathalon swims there rather regularly.

Both events were heartbreaking. Onot the surface, the one at Pulse was worse. However, I'm a mom with a 2 year old, and I just can't stop thinking of the poor boy and parents. You try so hard to protect your children, but tragedy hits randomly.

And 2 year Olds are so pure and innocent. Just starting to become.

+1. A young child torn out of his parent's hands to a suffer a horrible death is every young parent's nightmare. The carjacking of a car with a young boy dangling from the seat belt of his mother's car, who had tried to remove him from the carseat only to have his body dragged along the car for miles was also widely publicized.

Great job being condescending. Dcum bonus points goes to you!

Because there was nothing gray about that one. Shooter was messed up and it was a tragedy and they didn't deserve it. This one is much more nuanced and almost all of the thread is a big discussion about how culpable if at all Disney is.

and also, sadly, we are inured to the commonality of mass shooting, which is rather commonplace. A 2 year old getting eaten by a gator at Disney is not commonplace at all.
