Toddler reportedly dragged into water by alligator at the Grand Flordian Resort

[Fefster]

I read on one of the forums that the father wrestled the gator but was unsuccessful. Not sure how true this is but doesn't seem unlikely.
Was the child near the waters edge I wonder? Must have been I suppose.
Sadly I think there is no chance he will be found poor little soul.

What awful news, I can't even begin to imagine what his parents are thinking right now.

The article in the Sentinel online only tells half a story. It states there were no witnesses so how do they know this toddler was taken by a gator? It makes no mention of the parents or that there was a movie night on the beach, instead it leads you into thinking that the 2 year old was alone. This is bound to have people jumping to conclusions which is not in the least bit helpful to the family at this tragic time.

I've just been reading this & it's absolutely terrible. That poor little boy and his poor parents.

This is shocking news - so sad - a terrible series of events in Orlando this week

I've just read this, apparently it happened as they were watching movie under the stars so the father at least was right there... Such a sad sad thing to wake up to read... Really hope the tot is found safe and well, sadly I think that's praying for a miracle...
