If they had built alligator paradise in their back garden like this they would be more frequent, luckily it doesn't seem many have.

My god I just started sobbing as I read through this. I love the child I nanny for with all my heart, but I cannot even begin to imagine how much hurt and pain these parents are going through. To see it happen as well. My god there really are just no words. The people who are trying to compare this with what happened in the Zoo with the gorilla should be ashamed of themselves.

The Lagoon is man-made, yes, but it's connected to a natural lake.

Wow that's mad how could that ever have been considered safe?

We should also point out that the father wasn't even there but he got dragged too, they brought up his criminal history like it mattered. If they're going to be criticised for that negligent mistake so should these parents-especially them because I live in UK and even I know there are alligators around that area. How the **** did they not? If you're going to take your child near water at night at least do proper research. From what i've seen before areas with alligators don't always have signs. So yeah, their negligence was fatal. They should also get scrutiny.


They're putting up signs now though so good thing came out of this tragedy.

Honestly I don't think either set of parents should get scrutiny, more especially these parents as their baby is dead, they're never going to get over that. Thankfully the parents involved in the Gorilla incident still have their baby alive. Maybe calling for parents to get scrutinized isn't the way to go. Either incident could have happened to anyone imo.
