There were "No swimming" signs at the scene, Demings said.
Seems pretty Phucking obvious to me. Just like the idiot that got acidified by the Gieser. Warnings signs everywhere but fuk it, I'm gonna go in anyway.

Do not go in any ponds lakes during the day period, keep a safe distance from the waters edge at night. Gators are fukin everywhere in FL.
BRB building a fence around every body of water in Florida. Ayy lmao. I'm guessing you have never been to FL. Literally water everywhere, even mainland. They ALL have gators in em.
Best idea ITT.

You leave the resort, you're on your own. On the resort, we'll keep you safe. That is common sense.

Remember this is a pretty nice resort in a lake with fountains. It's reasonable to think the no swimming sign can be interpreted as we don't want a bunch of people in our nice lake rather than no swimming for your own safety.
Granted even with that perspective they were technically breaking the rules, as the kid had his feet in the water, but you can see how something like this can be misinterpreted, especially from someone from Nebraska.
Also lol at anyone who thinks the two year old won't be up and out during vacation at 9:30 on movie night. I know most of you don't leave your parents homes, let alone go on vacations, but that's not even sort of a big deal or bad parenting

This wasn't a swimming pool. Alligators find bodies of fresh water in live in them, then they eat things that come to the edge, the way nature intended. Parents were not thinking.

Almost no power to open their jaws. Keeping their jaw closed is how alligator wrestlers do it. Once they've got their jaws on you, forget it. Their skin is essentially armor. You're not likely going to hurt them and you're not going to overpower them, and you're certainly not likely going to convince them to let go of food. Dad's only chance might have been to claw at the eyeballs and try to blind it to freak it out and confuse it, but I doubt the baby would come out of it without life-threatening injuries either way.
Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.

It may have a Misc account, too.

Why do we have railings on landings? People should know not to fall off.

Especially not for the bite-sized.
Not every place is paved over and fenced off. I can understand being naive as a visitor, but if it's clearly marked "don't do that", you don't really need graphical illustrations of why. Just don't do it.
Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.

You're delusional if you believe resort owners can keep alligators out of the water. There is approximately one alligator for every ten people in the state and they travel freely between lakes. There isn't some alligator death squad touring the state by chopper to stop them, and the lagoon is huge, it's obviously unrealistic to expect the entire shore to be controlled at all times.
They have swimming pools inside the resort complex that are monitored and controlled. The lagoon is just to look at, not to get eaten in.
Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.
