It wouldn't of mattered if the child was in the water or close to the shoreline. Alligators often attack people near the waters edge.

I understand why they are killing alligators within that lagoon. Once they find or if they find the remains of that child in the contents of its stomach, that, as far as they are concerned puts an end to it. Sad as that may sound, its better than every angry person with a gun going out and shooting as many alligators as they can find. Vigil-anti attacks happen in cases like this but if the culprit is found, anger subsides and less animals suffer from revenge attacks.

When that stingray killed that TV personality people were angry and the consequences of that anger is, many hundreds of stingrays were needlessly killed by vigil-anti groups.
