Kids can run off when parents aren't staying on top of them. IDK man, I look at that body of water and I assume it has alligators, how could it NOT? Look at the SIZE OF IT???!!! Ok, I hope they put up some signs for the mentally retarded, but people with working brains should know better. I'm sorry, but I have seen waaaaaayyyyy too many parents who just let their kids do what they want and when I say "Hey, is that your kid over there doing that?" and they say something stupid like "OHHhh, they don't listen to me anyway, they're so bad and don't behave"
What am I supposed to say "Oh ok, well that makes it alright, maybe someone else will fix it for you - just give up and don't even try anymore."
Tell me, how many parents have you seen like that? They're just perfectly content that their kids won't listen or behave and just stop trying to discipline them. Regardless if we can put some blame on Disney, i'll give the benefit of the doubt. What about all those parents like that?
It's not ok. Now other people have to put up with their little nightmares too??? Off-topic a little, but still relevant. Nothing like a nice peaceful relaxing day in Nature........until all the damn screaming kids take over and you have no choice but to leave so you can get rid of the migraines. No point in staying, Wildlife ran away long time ago.
The point is, they run off, that's on you. It's your responsibility as a parent to stay on them. If you don't, who will?
Parenting is a job for life. You can't just give up or say it's someone else's fault, your kids and the amount of discipline they have reflects you as a parent. Everyone with kids needs to understand that.
All this thread is doing is making more and more parents think it's OK to allow stuff like this to happen. FORGET the signs and liability. WHY weren't the kids parents being parents? He fought a 6 foot alligator and LOST???!!! U gotta be KIDDING ME - I have personally subdued 6 foot gators and it was very one-sided via me.
I don't think I believe all the facts presented. A 6 foot gator should be a JOKE to a grown man.
