There should be a sign for ignorant parents - hanging around their necks.
Humans are not in charge here...welcome to our jungle.
You know, if there's one positive thing about this tragedy, it's that people like the mouthbreathing idiot above can finally, FINALLY be able to feel superior about something. They knew about the dangers of gators in Florida! And these other people didn't know about the dangers of gators in Florida! And, thankfully, now those "ignorant parents" are paying for that in the most unimaginably horrific way possible! Yay, time to pat yourself on the back for having known about gators! You win!
A little harsh? This is not a competition. When you leave your home and go somewhere new it is your responsibility to know about and become familiar with your surroundings. For example, you leave for Italy, it might be important to know transportation could go on stoke and leave you stranded. Perhaps good to know that some places in Hawaii have active volcano eruptions, that the Atlantic has a jet stream, ect...
No, I don't think it's harsh to call out the people calling the parents ignorant idiots.
People make mistakes, but this one was avoidable. It is very sad.
You're right, if Disney had posted alligator warnings and not held night-time, beachside family attractions like their movie night, it was likely avoidable.

No kidding. This is so random and so sad. People love to judge and feel superior when we should all be saying our prayers for this poor family - there lives have been destroyed. Not to mention - the child could have been a couple feet from the shore line and still be dragged in by the croc. They do come out of the water, you know.
I disagree. It's not random at all. A child was in the swampy water at mealtime for gators. It's not meant to be a beach. They could have gone to the pool, the beach, the hot tub. Unfortunately, they were at the wrong place at the worst time and didn't know any better.
Have you seen the photos? It was totally a beach. There was literally a "beachside movie screening" that had just finished up.

I wouldn't let my kid walk within 50 feet of the water if I saw that sign.
And that's what it comes down to, right? Most of us would see that and never, ever let our kids anywhere near that shore. But that warning wasn't posted.
Water in FL= possible sharks or alligators
Is signage really needed to remind people to stay out of murky water in the dark.
MD should post snow signage. Warning: Possible ice build up during winter storms

Yes. Agreed. So, no matter whether the parents were a little bit negligent in general, if they had the specific alligator warning, there is no way the kid would be in the water or even close to it. So, I think Disney is at fault here.

The family says 1 foot, the lifeguard said 10. Authorities are looking owing for more witnesses.
Well, common sense would be that the kid was wading in shallow water, then dragged out to deeper water by the gator and flailing around.
What does any of this matter now? It doesn't.

I have to agree with the first sentence. It sounds like ill-informed parents. Just like people who drink at the beach and wade out off the shore around sun down, then seem surprised they get shark bit during mating season!
