No way I would of thought it related to alligators. From what Ive read, this is on a beach on a family Disney resort. The presence of alligators would of been the last thing on my mind.
I bet I'd let my little guy go splash on the edge of the water too, if I'm only a few feet away.
Guess that makes me an irresponsible parent.  . Thoughts go out to the victims. |
I'm sorry, but if you go to Florida without doing any research of the local wildlife and let your kids splash around in fresh water at night (I'd argue anytime during that day), that 100% makes you an irresponsible parent in my books.
I honestly can't believe there are people on here saying going to Florida that being careful of alligators wouldn't even be on their list of things to consider.
