Can there not be a containment area for the body of water where this kid was? It's not that difficult to have an area designated for safe water activities

The water is clearly marked that it's not for swimming and that you should not enter the water. They have sand beaches with seating areas a good distance from the water. There are no water activities that go on in the lagoon other than ferry boats, rental boats for fishing & other rec and the nightly water electrical parade.

When gators stop walking and only swim or when folks will pay big bucks for a view of a completely fenced in lake we can talk about containment.
This is a man made lake. It has to be fed by natural sources of water. Therefore it is connected to other bodies of water via canals and culverts. Gators love canals and don't mind culverts. There is no keeping gators out of any fresh water in Florida without a fence surrounding the entire body of water and killing all the gators in that water.
This is just a terrible, terrible accident. Nature is a bitch.
Also, this was bad timing too. It's mating season. They are more aggressive during this time. It was also right after dusk. They feed at that period. They go to the shallows to pick off small mammals and birds. The poor child was in the shallows, after dark, during mating season and was small.

The Lagoon has been safe for nearly 50 years and probably over a million people have swam, kayaked, ski'd, etc. Just a horrible situation.

You make it sound like Jurassic Park. The area was posted as no swimming. There's not much more you can do.

frick man you're right! They should have just posted a "No Gators Allowed" sign and this whole drama wouldn't have played out.
