[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry--that worry is also filled with brain eating bacteria.  The parents were already playing with fire letting their child play in the water.  [/quote]
How would they know this? Plus, wading is not swimming. Anyone would have done the same thing. Of course there should be warning signs about gators. That poor, poor family and that poor child. I can't even think about it.[/quote]

Ignorance isn't an excuse for doing something dangerous.  [/quote]

Wading in ankle deep water is not dangerous when you are from most parts of the world.[/quote]

+1. Here's the photo a PP linked to, showing a little boy at the exact spot where Lane Graves was attacked, about a half-hour before that happened. Most people would not consider this to be a dangerous activity.

During the day, I'd wager that wading in the water is fine. At night, no way. [/quote]

I thought the gator came onto the beach and grabbed the child. If the child was wading in the water ... unless a parent was holding the child's hand, I think the neglect is partially on the parent for letting their 2 yr old wade in the pond water at night. I doubt the two year old is a strong swimmer so that alone seems kind of dangerous. [/quote]

No the gator did not come on the beach. The child was wading, according to the lifeguard, up to 10 feet from the beach. Which is exactly where gators strike, in shallow water. [/quote]
