None.... that is why a small child is eaten by an alligator on Disney property every 10 seconds.

Apparently these parents didn't get the memo that Gators are indigenous to the freshwater of Florida. Guess what they went home with 1 less kid, bunch of dumbass's

Too bad Lolong died in captivity because his pool was too small and shallow. His teeth and claws wore down scraping on the concrete, he stopped eating, and died from organ failure. His organs were crushed by his own weight.

All you need to comprehend is that the "NO SWIMMING" sign is there for a reason. Anybody that decides to gamble their safety because they need a specific reason is a dumbass.

Kid was in the water. Parents and sibling were not. The dad was not right next to him.

So whats the story then for why the father wasn't with the kid? Was he talking to another dadbuddy? Was he taking selfies with Mickey Mouse? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Body of the kid was found intact so looks like a case where the alligator made a mistake and confused the poor kid with food.
Of course, an alligator's brain is pretty small compared to a human's so the bigger mistake here was the parents allowing their kid anywhere near the water.
I can't imagine what they are going thru but given their apparent lack of supervision, the odds were against their kids to begin with to survive to adulthood it seems. Hopefully this tragedy helps them do a better job next time.

The weirder thing for me is how do you get close enough to sustain injuries to your hand but yet come up empty? Obviously heat of the moment and you never know how people will react but I have to imagine if that were my kid and I got to that alligator, I'm going done with the ship.
There is no way he is dragging my kid underwater without me going under as well because I would be holding on to that mofo for dear life. Almost seems like the father approached this gator a bit too cautiously as if the gator just had his barbecue in his mouth rather than his child. Then again maybe being too harsh.

My favorite part is that the article described it as "minor injuries" to the father's hand. Makes me think he got a scratch or broke a nail and let his kid get taken.
