How much money should the parents of that boy who was eaten by a gator get from Disney?

The real question is why the law-abiding toddler was not properly armed to protect himself from the gator. His parents failed to teach him that the first responsibility of a citizen is to learn how to protect himself with a proper weapon.

A better question is why hasn't Obama been protecting us from the alligator threat. Alligators are killing more Americans than ISIS.

I live in Florida and see gator wanting signs all the time near fresh and brackish water, including the annoyingly twee one on the way to the (so far gator-free) community pool that says "Danger: Alligators Reside Here"

But Disney didn't want to break up the fantasy by putting up the same gator warning you can see in hundreds of other places in metro Orlando. Spoils the magic and all. A 'no swimming' sign can mean it's dangerous because of boat traffic, because fertilizer runoff causes algae blooms that make you sick, or the current favorite: brain-eating amoebas present. People who assume that the sign is there for boat traffic or brain amoebas aren't going to properly assess the risk of something coming out of deeper water and lunging at a kid.

And they're already dding gator warning signs to the area where the kid got killed, which while isn't quite an admission of guilt is an indication they weren't warning quite like they should have in the past, given that the whole park is built on prime gator habitat (ie. filled in swamps)

My theory wins again.

Boy you really are a dumb*ss and I thought you just liked to voice your opinion on everything.

There is precedent in this case : https://youtu.be/PPoYzyOn44M

Exactly. Standing in a couple inches of water is not swimming. If I saw a no swimming sign, I would have no problem walking at the edge of the water. If that sign said danger alligators, I wouldn't get within 50 yds of the water.

You and your friends should get your heads out of your smartphones .

You're pretty dumb .

I don't understand the question! Surely you mean "How much money should Disney sue for from the negligent parents of that out-of-controll boy that hurt their brand?"

I agree with Rojo on this. These people were visiting from the Midwest with limited knowledge of gators and I think there would be an assumption that the area was safe if they were inviting patrons to movies a few yards away. I find it very surprising that no gator signs existed in that location, given that there are warning signs posted all over the surrounding Disney golf courses.

Disney will settle generously with the family on the condition that the settlement amount not be disclosed. They don't want to come across as insensitive to families (their main customer base) and undoubtedly desire to put the negative publicity from this to bed as quickly as possible.

Do you realize how much Marvel makes for the Disney brand? Almost every one of their movies threatens to make a billion dollars. I would give them 50 million at the very least.

As unspeakable and tragic as the incident is, is Disney supposed to rid Florida of alligators now?

Wait until the Burmese Pythons make it to Disney World. You haven't seen anything yet.

Animal whose wired to hunt slow moving prey is what?

You people are pathetic losers and basically horrible people.

A family lost their child and you crack jokes or imply the either deserved it or they were totally responsible.

Letsrun is a cesspool and this thread is a clear example.

Many people who lose child in tragic ways want to make sure others never have to go through it. That's what many suits are about and every parent would choose to never go through this no matter how large the payout. It's horrible.

No wonder nearly all of you are single dumnb runners who cant get dates or decent jobs.

THAT right there is funny!

I am a PI lawyer of 22 years. Trust me, Disney was negligent. Anyone that says otherwise does not know the law.

Now so may have issues with the law of negligence itself, or wish Americans took more personal responsibility, but that is a different matter.

For those of you who claim the kid was swimming, he wasn't. That is a material fact. So stop basing Disney's defence on an incorrect fact.

For those of you who say Disney can't control wild animals, they can control how they deal with the threat of wild animals. In this case they totally knew gators were in the lake. Yet they hid this fact. They had no signs warning of gators. None of the park literature mentions gators. Nor does the staff. In fact they give kids sand toys to play at the water's edge.

Lastly, for those that say everyone knows about gators, this is simply not true. There are countless examples of tourists who are otherwise very educated not knowing a thing about gators. I myself would never expect to see a gator at a resort but that is likely because I don't live anywhere near gator country.

I live in bear country. Do all of you know every risk that bears pose, and every place you should watch for bears? I doubt it.

Disney is liable. Bottom line.

Good point. But the answer is obvious: Obama is an alligator sympathizer. He grew up with crocodiles in Kenya, and now thinks alligators are doing God's work. When he mentioned this attack he did even refer to them as reptiles. Trump was right again.

5 yards would be quite sufficient.

Can't believe that nobody has provided the most obvious response.

THERE ARE NO PARENTS OF ANY BOY EATEN BY A GATOR AND IMAGINARY PEOPLE SHOULD GET IMAGINARY MONEY OR $0.
