So the 2 year old.... was wading IN the water... ALONE!
If that's true, it kinda shifts from just a terrible tragedy, to a somewhat avoidable tragedy.
Seems to be shifting now to a completely avoidable tragedy.
So much fucking this.
I'm sorry for not being a single fucking ounce sorry. Throw all the "you don't know parenting" bullshit at me and all the excuses you (as in the people defending the parents) want but other than having the help of someone buying us food here and there, I raised my sisters and am now raising my niece and have taken both of them to zoos, the beach, pools, etc. countless times and not once has anything happened. It
MIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT have something to do with me never once leaving their side, let alone out of my
sight. It should be noted I've been called overbearing more than once.
I take it as a compliment.
The way I pictured it before was that they were pretty much next to each other and the two year old just happened to be grabbed off the shoreline but most reports now paint a
very different picture. I'm not going to sit here and blame it entirely on the parents or say that they deserved it because that's just not true (or warranted). I am however saying that people wanting to pussyfoot around this shit is fucking ridiculous. Same for the kid in the gorilla den. It's
someone's fault and it sure as shit isn't the mindless beasts for saying "hey, some food...alone...exposed"; nor is it the kid because...they're children. Any situation that has the potential to be bad is going to be bad when you've got a toddler unsupervised.
It's horribly tragic and makes me sick. What makes me equally sick is halfwit fools attempting to defend the parents as if it was some freak accident or something that isn't pertaining to parenting. Even so, my heart goes out to the parents. It sounds like they were negligent, but it doesn't make it any less horrible. For as much as Disney and/or whoever the fuck owns those grounds is to blame, it's still on the parents (although there probably should be a BIG ASS sign posted every two feet given how absolutely dimwitted many people are; and I'll bet you there will be now). If you live in Florida and aren't on a constant watch for those monsters, you're a god damn mindless moron and that's about as sweetly as I can put it. It's not like a snake in the grass. It's a hulking beast that literally lurks in the water waiting for EXACTLY such an occasion. I'm also going to go out on a SUPER THIN LIMB and say that those parents will be like white on motherfucking rice with their other kids. That...
is not a coincidence.
But yeah after this if nothing is done...I'm going to have some bad news for my niece because fuck Disney in their crusty, money-filled asses if this isn't mended as much as they possibly can with all of their billions. I mean at this point with all the news it's getting, there should be animal control, fences, signs every ten feet, more warning signs before you even reach the shore, and then some.
