Can we discuss gator control or must we still wait on that?

I personally feel the degree to which The Gators "Offense" was completely controlled last college football season has us covered well for several years where regards Gator Control.

Gators are allowed but Crocs are not... Crocs attack faster and their teeth are bigger provoking larger injuries.

<header class="article-header"> Many on Social Media are Laying Into the Parents of the Boy Attacked by the Alligator

</header> As the search for a 2-year-old boy dragged into a lagoon by an alligator at Disney World in Orlando, Florida, continues, Twitter is busy blaming the parents for the incident.

The boy was ankle-deep in Seven Seas Lagoon with his father near to the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa in Orlando, when an alligator came and attacked the child Tuesday night.

Because the area is marked by "No Swimming" signs, many online have turned against the parents.

someone try to defend the parent this time

There is a lifeguard, why would there be a lifeguard if you weren't allowed to swim in the water. Tragic accident, it happens. There is not always someone to blame or at fault.

Was this a sign that was there or did you Google image alligator signs?

How ignorant can you be????......Do you think the signs say....Come play with the Alligators?

stop, that's just wrong

accidents happen, tragedies happen

I could see me allowing my kid a little space and letting him walk near the water, nobody would expect that in Disney World and I doubt there was any time to react



it's the culture we live in now-- people, reactively, seek blame. Then we have social media where the internet warriors can condemn-within the friendly protective barriors of home. Mom and dad lost their little kid to a HORRIFIC incident. And people immediately are condemning.... how's that for compassion?...empathy?....


gl to the family and RIP little guy

When are some of you going to learn that not everything that happens bad in this world is someone's fault ?

Shit happens.

Some of you think in every situation someone deserves credit or blame .

Well let me be the Internet badass to say that there's no way a 4-7ft gator is devouring my infant unless he plans to devour me too...I mean if I was fighting with him, I'm not letting go for shit...

I have a 2 year old girl, I know I'm fighting to the death in that situation also. Man, I can't imagine how the parents are feeling. If he actually did make contact and then have the kid still get pulled away would be beyond devastating

THE only sign up was "no swimming" it was at night and family was from Nebraska and probably didn't see sign.
