Hindsight has nothing to do with. I would have had the same concerns before this incident. I know i'm in an alligator infested area, and I know they are in all the lakes, sloughs, ponds in Florida. There's no chance I, or anyone in my party would be getting in that water.
Even if the resort had no signs (which I doubt), I sure as hell would have asked someone before I or my kids got anywhere near that water because you know..... I'm in Florida.
I spent one month down there, and I would often ask people when I'd walk to a bar or restaurant if I needed to be careful of alligators and snakes. The answer I got every time was that I should be fine but don't walk close to water or wooded areas, especially at night because the alligators were active at night and slept all day due to the heat.
Terrible accident for sure, but people have a leg to stand on when wondering what these parents were thinking.
