The father made a video of his 7-year-old son, it became a huge scandal

A little boy was filmed by his father while fishing, when they were suddenly attacked by a beast because of a fish caught on a hook.

Sean McMahon and his 7-year-old son, Dawson were fishing on the shores of Lake Palm Coast, Florida, when the tragedy occurred. Seconds after Dawson pulled the fish ashore, an awesome alligator jumped forward to take the prey.

– Dawson caught a perch tonight and an alligator popped out of nowhere, ate the perch and threw his rod into the water! , said the surprised father, who shared a video of their special adventure on Facebook.

The scary moments happened at the family’s lakeside house, by the way. Many people began to attack their father while watching the footage, because they thought he had behaved irresponsibly. He shouldn’t have let a 7-year-old boy close to the water at all, as it is well known that there are alligators in Florida waters.

An anxious user wrote: – The father didn’t seem too surprised, he also zoomed in pretty quickly. Fortunately, your child was not dragged by the beast.

Another way thought: – That’s why we teach kids to stay away from the waterfront. Clever boy that threw the rod and ran away. It was a smaller alligator, but still big enough to do damage to it. A third commenter said: – I think Dad is not from Florida and doesn’t know about alligators in the lakes, nor the distance you have to keep near water in Florida! Thank God that boy survived.
