Now this is gruesome

A New Orleans paper is reporting that a boy’s arm was recovered after being bitten off by an alligator.

Apparently, the 11-year old boy and two girls were playing near a body of water when the alligator attacked and tried to pull the boy underwater.

Instead, the alligator swallowed the boy’s arm.

The boy was airlifted to a hospital. Meanwhile, police officials searched and found the animal. They cut the alligator open to retrieve the arm then sent it to the hospital.

There was no mention as to if they were able to reattach the boy’s arm.

After reading the article, I had one question. Where were the parents?

Why were these kids playing by a body of water unsupervised?

Anything could have happened. Someone could have fallen in the water and drowned.

Or, in this case, have been eaten.

Considering everything, this boy actually could be considered lucky.

The Wizard has spoken.
