[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nanny here- Why would the parents (even if they didn't know about alligators, which is weird since its FLORIDA) be playing with a toddler in the dark by the water? This makes no sense. I feel awful for the family, but this is just really bad parenting. Not thinking about gators in a state known for gators, playing in the water, by signs that tell you not to go in the water.[/quote]

Because it's a recreational beach at dusk? It's a mistake; it's not "bad parenting."[/quote]

9:30pm is dusk? I wouldn't be in the water at night by no swimming signs with any other the kids I work with. Who doesn't know about alligators and fresh water? [/quote]

Sunset is at 8:24 PM in Orlando (today).  The further south you get, the earlier it becomes dark.

Signage was up, the parents will not have a case against Disney.  It doesn't matter if the child was in 1 inch of water or 2 feet of water.  Signage will cover any legal recourse.  [/quote]

Wrong. There were no signs about alligators and the area was not roped off. This  was a resort event on the beach and there was a life guard and employees present. Disney is going to pay serious bank to this family and witnesses. [/quote]

Why were lifeguards present if Disney discouraged swimming?  [/quote]

There's a gigantic pool right next to the beach. The lifeguard came from the pool area.[/quote]
