Where did you read that the father fought with the gator?
I just heard the live report
The gator took the little boy who was playing at the edge of the water in front of the father and the father did try to get the child out of the gators mouth . The mother was a few feet away with the baby and she tried too .
First saw the story at the Daily Mail.
JennyC, I apologize for coming across so snarky.
My smartass gland was acting up today.
