Gator snatches 2 y/o at Disney Resort #FLLiving

[filthyjiujitsu]

I understand nature happens but that's the parents fault too. Unless the gator snatched him from your side and took him from your hands it's on them. A 2 year old at 9pm in the water without the parent holding em is crazy.

It's Florida. I thought the association between Florida and Gators were common knowledge.



It is funny that there isn't much uproar. Especially, after killing so many gators to find this kid AND he wasn't even eaten.

We'd be singing a different tune if the family in Ohio was on a vacation in the jungle and their kid was killed by a gorilla.

BTW: One animal is near extinct while another has literally millions roaming an entire state.

dahell that has to do w/ anything?

animals die everyday, b.

Yeah, I asked who thinks this is acceptable parenting on the first pages of the thread.
Might as well bring it back up.
Who leaves their kid in/near a body of water?
Who leaves their 2 year old unattened in a bath tub?
Don't understand how leaving your kid near a lagoon would make any more sense.

When my kid was 2 there was no way he's by water without holding my hand.

THIS!!!!!!!!!!

Those kid leashes don't seem like such a bad idea anymore. They gotta market it better. You only see out of shape parents using them. Start running commercials with kids running into gorrila pits and lakes/pools.

Legit. Disguise it as a backpack.

 

[adobecs4]

I don't think a leash would've helped in this case, fam.

 

[robotea]

A sad story.

I cringe when I see parents with those backpack leashes. 

 

[kingkoopa]

I made a Facebook post about how it's a shame they have to kill innocent animals because of irresponsible parents , when the child was obviously already dead, and I felt it was wrong for them to kill the gators, and people got MAD butthurt..... Lmao


It amazes me how the same people who shout "don't take our guns!" (Nobody is trying to take your guns, we just think if someone is on an FBI watch list and has been investigated , shouldn't be able to purchase guns so easily!) are the same people who get so offended by people saying the parents are irresponsible and we shouldn't have had to kill the gators, the same people I see supporting Trump. Blows my mind.

Ya'll always have to be upset and outraged at someone.

This was an unfortunate incident.

If I was in charge I'd kill every gator in fLorida to find the childs body.

Glad he wasn't eatin and they can give him a proper burial.

This. No way in hell I'm putting my child on a leash when leashes are designed to restrain animals. Holding their hand, carrying them or a stroller is a sufficient "restraint".

 

[datznasty]

This is different tho.

One is a beach where people usually play/hang around at.

The other is an enclosure where no one is allowed.

therr is a no swimming sign tho

[49ersaaron8]

the hypocrisy and double standards being used in this and the gorilla case are just :x

i just searched #lanegraves and #harambe on twitter and the difference is immediately apparent

like mental gymnastics white ppl will go thru when its one of their own is just 

bro you need to seek professional help. Everytime I see u post it has some element of racial inequality. And in this one you went ambitiously pursuing it by looking for hashtags and comments from losers who attention ***** on the Internet.

Then got the audacity to lump all white people together off internet comments. Hahahahahahahaha. I don't know where to find the help you seek but I hope it gets to you in due time.

White parenting is never questioned. Black parenting On the other hand....

 

[Mr.Guy]

The tone in here towards the parents is totally different in here. Never change NT

Is that due to race?

Or is it due to the scenarios being vastly different?

I will agree with you on the gorilla pit toddler that Fox News putting the fathers criminal record out there for the public to scrutinize was extremely bad taste.

 

[datznasty]

Race. Just like the irrelevant criminal history of the father, who wasn't even present, bring introduced into the conversation. Lane Graves parents should have to pay for all of those alligators killed too and flcharged for criminal negligence and CPS should look into their home and parenting habits and take any kids from them and prevent then from having more. Even here on nt, even worse things were said

There not really that different from each other. Both situations are examples of parents not watching their children closely. The response to the incidents were different because of race. The White parents were given the benefit of the doubt while the black parents were treated like criminals that don't deserve children.

those Florida parents have the complexion for protection even on NT. Folks was going hard on that black mother in the gorilla thread. I would say the parents in Florida showed more negligence than the gorilla pit mother because there were no swimming signs and they were close to open water.

Preach

 

[superblytrife]

While both the Harambe incident and this gator one are awful, I have to believe a CHILD DYING shows that one is worse than the other.

Both involved parents having lapses in judgment. I'm sorry, but letting your 2 year old wade in a lake in Florida at 9 PM is terrible judgment. Not to mention there were "no swimming" signs posted and no other families were in the water, per one of the many articles I've read regarding the incident.

Both situations could've been avoided by parents being more attentive to their surroundings. In one instance, one gorilla died. In the other, a kid and a handful of gators died. So tell me again why nobody is questioning the criminal history of this kid's parents? Why isn't there outrage from the public and demands that criminal charges be pursued? I think we all know why that is. And it has NOTHING to do with these 2 terrible situations being different. Because yes, while they ARE different, THIS is the one that should really piss people off. A 2-YEAR OLD KID WAS DROWNED BY A ******* ALLIGATOR AND IT WAS COMPLETELY AVOIDABLE.

I honestly can't even call the situations the same. The gator incident was the parents being dumb and allowing their kid to play in water when there were signs telling them not to. They were irresponsible and careless and didn't value their kid's safety.

The gorilla incident was due to failing at watching a kid. He got away while she was tending to the other kids. If she said "sure go play with the gorillas, I'll be right here" that would be a different story.

I've seen inequality in the news before big time and the rush to judgement due to color of skin but this time around I can't quite agree with it.

Reports say the father was a couple feet away when the gator snatched the boy in a man made body of water. Seems he was doing his due diligence they weren't swimming when this happened so the No swimming sign is Null and void. They were also out of towners so they get a pass not being aware that any body of water presents a danger in Florida.

Gorilla pit toddler was unsupervised for enough time that he got into an enclosure nobody from the public has ever gotten into since the opening of that Cincinnati zoo exhibit.

To say these two scenarios are very close in nature is reaching for straws big time.

 

[Mr.Guy]

Yes the gorilla incident is 10 x worse tha. The gorilla incident but the parents aren't dragged threw the mud because they have the complexion for protection.

 

[hand2handking]

like i said the gymnastics ppl will go thru

has anyone been killed by an alligator since the opening of the Disney resort. Why not hold your child near water ?

 

[hand2handking]

i wouldnt be surprised if these white parents get a gofundme started
