Such a sad situation all the way around. I myself raised two death-wish toddlers, 24 months apart and this story reminds me why we never took a Disney cruise! I knew that as soon as we sailed out of port, I’d hear the words, ‘Man overboard!’ And I’d look down horrified to see my kids swimming with the sharks. No thank you. You have to know your own limitations, and because I never grew eyes behind my head, I stayed away from “attractive nuisances.”

As postscript, l stopped visiting aquariums and zoos when the kids were young because it makes me sad. I would take them instead to petting zoos, much more interactive and the worst that could happen is a goat would nibble on their shirts
