Ensuring the protection of children and keeping them safe is one of the most fundamental duties of parents. Recently, a video has resurfaced online, showing parents recklessly encouraging their children to pose for photos alongside a wild alligator. The incident happened in Everglades National Park in Florida which is home to many different types of wildlife.
The footage which was originally shared on TikTok last year, captures the adults urging their two young girls to stand alarmingly close to the massive reptile. The girls seem visibly nervous and hesitant, yet the adults seem to ignore their concerns. Meanwhile, the alligator is seen lying with its mouth wide open on the side of the road. Another woman is also seen posing for a picture, seemingly oblivious to the danger. She then calls a child over to join her for another photo, while a man also takes a risk by posing with the child near the alligator.
''Don't think that is the brightest idea,'' the video was captioned by an Instagram account.
