He wasn't unattended, and your victim blaming is disgusting.

The alligator isn't a perp, it's an animal. Leaving a child in or near water with being right there is a dangerous situation.

Disney created the danger with an illusion of a safe little man made beach.

It's a murky-ass lake in the dark in FL. It's not like we're in another reality once we enter Disney. But, if it makes you feel any better, I'd bet my entire life savings that this family will get an incredibly handsome payment from Disney.

So many smug, self righteous assholes, it would take all night to reply to them all.
I'm sure this will get removed.
Don't care.
Have you people no shame?
This family has been destroyed.
Fuck. You. All.

Clap clap.

The one troll that repeatedly calls the family and posters stupid and complaining that poor gators might get killed in search of the boy should be banned from dcum.

I can't imagine the hell these poor parents must be living right now. I am sure they are second-guessing every decision surrounding the death of of their child. I hope that I am never in their shoes, I hope they can find the strength to heal and take care of their remaining child.

You can't wade in that pool.

Why would a pool be more appealing? So sad Disney made a fake beach front with sand and cabanas with alligators lurking holding events on the "beach." The sheriff said that the boy was doing NOTHING WRONG. The parents did not make a wrong on unsafe choice knowingly. Disney knows that alligators can get into their man-made lagoons and that you would not necessarily see them in the water day or night.

I'm the poster who was there last month staying at the Polynesian. Every evening there is a boat parade with lights in the lagoon. In fact, I remember that they play music from The Little Mermaid that my DD loves. The boat parade is at 9:15 pm with fireworks starting at 10:00 pm. The best vantage point to watch the boat parade is from the beach. I have no doubt that the family had parked themselves there to watch the parade on the lagoon and were probably waiting for the fireworks to start.

The latter like to sun themselves curled around the hose outside of many homes. Gators like golf courses and also to sun themselves on paved surfaces -- driveways, near front doors. When the sun gets too hot they will also crawl under parked cars. Water mocassins are a whole different story. Let us not overlook Florida cougars, coyotes, and armadillos too. If you see signs about wildlife being present, you have been forewarned. True, maybe Disney and other resort owners will have to step up the game at checkin.
