It is not unreasonable that tourists from Nebraska would not understand there could be alligators in a resort lake, even if there were "no swimming" signs. "No swimming" signs are posted for countless reasons, almost all of which have nothing to do with large, carnivorous reptiles.

Sucks what happened, but one of the few things that is pretty much common knowledge in this country is that Florida is kind of infested with alligators. Others being Cali has earthquakes, Kansas has tornadoes, and Chicago has guns.

Why are you not watching the 2 year old, lousy parents? If my 2 year old gets snatched by an alligator I'm jumping on that alligator prepared to fight it to the death.

I think you may be underestimating the bite force of an alligator. Be really tough to get it to let go and keep hold of it in the water.

Literally out of a horror film.

I can't even imagine the Father with every parent instinct in total fight mode trying to get his screaming child out of the gators mouth, only to see it go under water.

I honestly don't know if I'd be able to live with myself after that. How could you?

Nah, not even a horror movie is that awful.

Only way you keep on living is if you got other kids to take care of... otherwise you drink yourself to death.

The problem is that all these bodies of water are connected due to run offs and drain ditches, so all the gators do is use these areas as a highway to get to more areas.

And if it's true they have pulled more gators out of this body of water, fairly irresponsible to not have a gator warning sign, or it was there and removed. Can't see a place like that not warning peolle

I'm sure you have the Bigfoot warning signs around your den... well, maybe not then the Bigfoot hunters will find you.

To be fair.... Spartan would have had his spear and short sword to pry the gator's mouth open.

I like to pronounce the w when I say sword.

Short sword, lol.

I feel terrible for the parents, that Father.. Wow. I can't even imagine trying to save my screaming child from an alligator. Sounds like he fought the thing but Jesus Christ.. Can't do much, those damn things are quick and strong.

I think it's common knowledge that the Everglades and other protected wildlife areas are infested with alligators. As for Orlando, Jacksonville, or Tampa...probably not so much.

I feel bad for the kid.... parents shoulda kept their kid from being dragged into a lagoon by a fucking alligator.

I mean every horror story of this sort starts with parents going "We didn't think.... we thought it was safe..."

Kids get snatched by pedos or alligators or run into traffic and get hit by a bus..... people need to stop letting their toddlers run wild like the world is a fucking dog park.

Shit like this happens and you are wrestling an alligator in a lagoon.

Actually there is alot of Gators in the Orlando, Tampa, and Lakeland areas, be surprised at how many are in that part of Florida.

No I just have black bears around my yard

Do you let your toddler children run loose in the woods so they can be dragged off by the black bears?

That shit just happened in Japan. Not a black bear, but a bear nevertheless.
