shocking and devastating  news from Disney Orlando this morning a crocodile attacked and dragged 2yr old boy into the lake,

my thoughts this morning are with the family dad tried to wrestle the croc to free his son without success Don't cry

In reality you are far more likely to die on one of the rides, or from a car crash or plane crash or terrorist event or lightning or sink holes or armed robbery ....the list goes on.Surprised (no need to change your plans over that)

Florida is full of Aligators (not Crocs), you see them all over.

Ther way you can tell the difference is:

Aligators will see you later, where as Crocodiles will see you in a while!

"Now starting to think of somewhere else " certainaly sounds like that to me TTDA maybe sell will put us straight 

Write your comments here...It was both sadness for the little boy and due to this having a rethink about going.

It's not rocket science being a parent or guardian, one of the many duties is to lead children AWAY from danger NOT lead them to it. People swan off to foreign countries and don't bother whatsoever in doing their homework first as to the regulations, laws, dangers etc etc and then moan and create when they get back home. I have no time for people like that, "when in Rome....." there is absolutely no excuse for not finding out about everything that needs to be known whether it is in Florida, Australia or anywhere else for the matter and that also includes driving laws as well.

It is the Father and Mother of a child that is totally responsible for their childs welfare not uncles, grandfathers, neighbours, friends etc. If they are incapable (which so many are proved to be) of bringing up a child in safety then they shouldn't have them, they don't deserve them my sympathy is with the child only and for having inconsiderate and selfish parents whom neglect them for their own pleasures and then those parents expect sympathy from the public, well those so called parents can jog on because they are not parents..

Your case was an accident, a million miles from a mother deserting her 2 year old child for her own pleasures and as for the so called father what was he doing? probably in the hotel complex bar swilling beer down his gullet like that case last year and watching football. Clearly if he and or his mother were being a PROPER parent then this 2 year old would still be alive and that cannot be disputed in this case whatsoever. It just cannot be classified as an accident whatsoever the parents should be charged with neglect causing a death because that is exactly what it was and nothing less.

I understand what you are saying and those sort of accidents can happen to anybody it is so easy to trip or fall down and are unfortunate accidents. Hope your sister was okay afterwards apart from the shock. Deserting one's children and neglecting them such as the Mc Canns and both cases referred to here is a totally different ball game. Every time it's the kids that come out worst, it's their life ended for good they are not my kids but it still infuriates me non the less.

She was o k thank you, many bruises, didn't stop mother having a screaming loud foul mouth rant at her for not looking where she was going, and wondered why other commuters didn't stop to help

but there was a funny side to it the mother somehow never dropped a bag of chips she had in her hand Laughing
