More animals are killed because of irresponsible parents. 

Nine o'clock, why wasn't the child in bed?

Please don't blame the parents. This is disneyworld, where I vacationed with my small kids many times and never once imagined something like this happening. Because we were vacationing we relaxed the bedtime rules sometimes. I always felt my children were safe there from all the things I feared in " the real world"....this is just a nightmare.

A parent's nightmare. To all who live daily with this nightmare, my heart breaks for you. There are no words for the depth of this sorrow.

I love animals, but i do not feel sorry for the gators, there is thousands of them,  do you know some people eat them?

 The fact that the body was found intact makes sense, said

Jeff Corwin, host of “Ocean Mysteries” on ABC.

“That gator came in, grabbed that boy, pulled him, the dad

startled that gator, the gator let him go and then the boy

drowned,” he said

Alligators don’t swim that far — they sink into the murky

water and lurk there — which explains why the father did

not see the boy when he jumped into the water to try and

save him, Corwin said.

His body had only a few puncture wounds, according

to a source familiar with the investigation.

Because they were on vacation and that is when the fireworks from the Magic Kingdom can be viewed from the beach at their resort. People are ENCOURAGED to sit on the beach after dark and watch first the Light Parade on the water and then the fireworks.

All of the 3 resorts on the 7 Seas Lagoon have fake sandy beaches on the fake lagoon. I have gone there many times and NEVER would have thought that they didn't remove gators ASAP. The fact that they killed 5 from that lagoon alone at the death is proof that they are infesting the WDW waterways.

You sound as if you have more sympathy for the alligators than for the humans. Sad...

I have more sympathy for the Native Americans than the settlers, more for the inhabitants than the invaders. Therefore, I have more sympathy for the gators than stupid people who put themselves in jeopardy and cry about it when nature happens.

DISNEY ACKNOWLEDGES THEY NEED EXPLICIT WARNING SIGNS.  Of course they did.

Furthermore, I knew that there was no way in the world only one child ever, ever played in that Lagoon.  Another mother has come forward to say that she is outraged because her son too, was at the water about a half hour prior to the alligator attack on the two year old.
