The ugly truth is that the Gator may have eaten him.  They don't normally actually eat people -  the bite can kill,  but they rarely actually eat people -  but this was a small child.

I'm amazed at the people asking how a Gator got into the lagoon.  We have two gators (that I know of) in the man made retention pond in our back yard.   Wildlife control will relocate them when they reach 6 feet.   Every house on our lake has kids.   The kids are outside all the time and know not to play in the water.  I worry more about the water moccasins than about the gators.

It's been said so many times in this thread -  In Florida you assume all fresh water has gators.  [/quote]

You can't have it both ways - either gators are a risk in "all fresh water" in Florida, and you make that risk known at your resort where you host people not from Florida, or you don't post a warning about gators because it's such a rare and freak thing to happen.  What you do not do is have an explicit "no swimming" warning, including numerous signs picturing a person swimming in a circle with a line though it,  when the risk isn't really about swimming.  [b]Not everyone knows the whole state is infested with alligators. [/b]

I am in SHOCK that so many people are so ignorant. [/quote]

Really? Do you know about all the wildlife in other states? Like New Mexico and Arizona?[/quote]

The dangerous shit that can kill me? Yes. If I'm visiting a place, I make it my business to research the area. Now, if some rare, exotic animal gets me when I wander into their territory, I guess my time was up. [/quote]
