Alligator Drags Child Into Water At Disney Resort

Featured Replies

There were no signs warning about alligators? Surely they had signs about gators up didn't they?

 

From what I have read, the signs only said no swimming.

It would have helped if Disney had put signs up telling people why there was no swimming. No signs said alligators were there. And nobody dangled the child anywhere. Technically, they followed the rules. They weren't swimming!

 

You are in Florida, if you need a sign to know gators in the water, then you probably shouldnt be in Florida.

I hope the child died instantly---neck snap or something like that.

 

Me too, horrific. Poor kid and family.

I still think any normal person should know that you avoid freshwater areas in Florida BUT that changes my mind a little bit. I could see Disney being forced to pay something if there were no warnings about gators.

Do you think if they had a sign that said, "Stay the blank out of the water" people would follow it?

Then can we sue God in Kentucky because of all the deer people hit with their car?

I heard as lawildcat stated, that there were no signs about gators. Also, to insinuate the parents were dangling the child like a piece of bait is rather insensitive.

I agree but when you are at the happiest place on earth, you assume you're relatively safe.

I think folks have sued God in the past and all of those cases ended up in the higher court.

I'm 5'10"... If you want to be picky about the fact they weren't swimming let me ask this. I can technically stand in 4 or 5 foot water and not be "swimming." If I get eaten by an alligator, is it my fault?

 

A foot of water to a 2-year old is swimming.

Look what assuming gets you.

Word.

Just to be clear, I never insinuated that at all. I just stated the facts. Very poor decision to ignore the signs but they are certainly being punished 1,000,000-fold.

Insensitive or not, to that gator, that's exactly what they were doing.

That was plantmanky that made the comment about dangling the child. You're good.
