We have gators here on our lake. You leave them alone, they'll leave you alone. Gators that take prey do it for one reason, to consume it. Would be a miracle if this child survived. Also, getting within close quarters of an alligator's young is as serious as with a bear's.
This is a horrible accident that likely won't end well. A toddler that age should always have it's parent's hand almost anywhere. Their lives will never be the same, which is the ultimate penalty to pay. There's no need for legal punishment in a case like this. Was just a terrible accident.
