[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CNN reports that the father actually got in and tried to pull the boy out of the gator's grip.  Then the mother jumped in to try and find him.  Looks like both parents were fairly close to the boy and attempted to save him.

The signs prohibited swimming.  Without proper warning of dangerous animals in a lagoon near an expensive resort hotel, Disney is as much at fault as parents who let their 2 year old go wading at dusk.

I just hope they recover the little guy's body.  If the gators swim in and out of the lagoon from natural waterways, he could be long gone by now. [/quote]

They may recover part of it but a large portion of his body is being digested in the gators stomach right now. [/quote]

Gators don't like the salty taste of humans.  My guess is the gator (reported to be fairly small at 4-7 feet) may have severely injured him and let him go.  Unfortunately, an injured 2 y/o likely cannot swim.  I'm guessing he bled out and/or drowned.  A large adult could probably survive having a bite taken from their leg, but a child so small is doubtful.

I so want to hold out hope.  This poor child and his family.  What a nightmare.[/quote]
