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]

Even worse - the gator may hide or store the body in its' nest or buried underwater to let it rot a bit. They do that a lot with fresh kills or larger kills.

I don't think people realize how fast and silent gators can be. They can come up on you in less than a foot of water, grab your legs, pull backwards and roll, to drown you or to then get to your neck. They take pets all the time, and even larger animal like deer. In the dark, this was probably almost over before the parents even knew what was happening. I feel so terrible for them. [/quote]
