Alligator Attacks Child - Disney Beaches Closed
Not a good week to be in Orlando it seems. This is a sad tragedy though the toddler is still being searched for.
The only exception I have to this is that the father "dove into the water to save his son". When my little one was 2, she was never in the water by herself. I am curious as to whether or not there were adults already in the lagoon with the child (maybe other adults were stunned and the Dad being Dad jumped in where others couldn't do anything). This isn't a blame game by any means, I am sure nobody can beat up a parent who loses a child more than the parent, themselves.
Maybe a lessons learned to other parents. Never leave your child to far from you, especially in a state known for its giant reptile population.
I hope the parents get some closure in this before it is all said and done, better some kind of miracle and the toddler is still alive.
A sad week for Orlando all around
