Gator in Detroit Ping!................

Would’ve liked to have read about how her son died a week prior? I certainly don’t like alligators, but the poor thing really had miserable living conditions.

Another case in recent days of Volunteers easily dispatching a Gator.

Rosenthal described the alligator as scared and aggressive, having been confined in a glass aquarium only slightly larger than its body. . . . . Rosenthal stated that the animal . . . will be relocated to a Florida sanctuary, where it will live in a multi-million-dollar enclosure.

We're a movin' on up, to a deluxe apartment in the sky!!!

My youngest son had a rhinoceros under his bed for seventeen years. The wife and I never found it until he joined the Navy when he turned seventeen and he asked us to feed it.

Spontaneous generation.

A little off topic but I assume the son lived in the mother’s house.

If so, she had no idea he had an alligator in his room?

That is a perfect example of parents not in touch with what they’re kids are doing.

I can assure you if I had an alligator in my room my parents would have become aware of it within the first 24 hours and would have taken appropriate action to rectify the situation!

Sounds like Mom needed to talk to her son a little bit more.

At first, I thought the story was that the Gator ate the boy, or most of him.

How thoughtless or dumb to have a full sized gator in a northern state and confined to a tiny area. The deceased must not have been someone who thinks of the big picture.
It seems there would have been a certain amount of Gator Poo in that closed door bedroom. Nobody smelled anything? Usually, women have a sharper nose than most men.
