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

THE KID WAS NOT SWIMMING.

Take a dozen families to a kiddie pool that's 2 feet deep. Have the kids wade in there all day and have a great time. When they all get home, ask all the kids and parents what activity they did that day. I bet they all say that they went swimming.

And if they did, they would be wrong.

And if they were a dozen of my friends they would say " we went wading" because we are all lawyers, and we know the value of being precise.

Why didn't DIsney not post a sign which said "Beware of Centipedes"?

Because they don't have a known centipede problem.

The kids would say they went to the beach.

Was at a Florida State Park today that's suburbia-adjacent and just down the street from an elementary school. (Fred Gannon Rocky Bayou SP) There was a warning sign for cottonmouth snakes near an inland trailhead, additional warning sign about bears in the campground area (fortunately the local black bears generally keep it to dumpster diving and won't tear an SUV apart because a person accidentally left a Clif Bar in the map pocket) and then another warning sign by the beach that the brackish bayou was alligator territory and you should use caution when swimming there.

So that's the warnings you get in a state-owned land area with known animal hazards and lots of present at the park and more kids nearby.

Fk off.

They didn't know they had an alligator problem either.

Simpler answer, there's no fcking centipedes at the manmade beach!

The reason there is such a large population of alligators in Florida is, in part, because of the presence of crocodiles which mostly are in the southern regions of the state.

How exactly does the presence of crocodiles contribute to the large population of alligators in Florida?

First of all you really should learn how to spell 'fucking'.

Further, we are talking Florida here - home of ALL monster bugs. There sure as hell ARE fucking centipedes (fucking gargantuan centipedes) at the man made beach!

They don't have an alligator problem. They have an idiot problem. They can try and solve this one but nature will always come up with a bigger idiot. You might be able to convince idiots not to go into the water at night where there are nocturnal predators but you have to way of predicting what dumb thing they will do next.

LR logic at its finest.

Then why were they constantly removing alligators from the lagoon? Why did they have a special permit from the state to do so without the usual hoops?

I say $2.00 at most.

Update:

Parents aren't even bothering to sue, probably already cashed the massive settlement check.

Does anybody else think it's ridiculous they started a foundation after the kid? He got eaten by a fukking gator. Not some rare unknown disease that needs money for research. Wonder what % of donation money the parents will keep for themselves.

Yes, everyone has to have a foundation these days. Pro ball sport athletes, race car drivers, celebrities, families of people who died, and even a few T&F athletes. I think that a lot of these foundations are simply vehicles to make the athlete or celebrity look good in the public eye: "They must care, aren't they sweet?"

And I agree that in many cases these seem to be designed to pay 6-figure salaries to family and friends to be executive directors, which is completely legal under IRS rules. Rake in the money and pay yourself. Many charities spend 15% or less on actual services, because you can legally spend whatever money is left after paying the staff on "educational" materials, which includes bulk mailing to seek more donations.

They should own Disney.

I didn't bother reading the other replies.
