Absolutely horrible. I can't even imagine how the parents feel, or how absolutely terrified that child must have felt when initially attacked. I know it breaks my heart to see my daughter get scared just from something little.

 

And then I hear people making jokes at work about it and, not to bring this up, but the shooting as well. There are some things you don't joke about, and at the very least, a child getting attacked by a gator is high on that list.
