What a complete and utter idiot.

I think I would be quite nervous and not go anywhere near the water if I knew crocs frequented there.

The first thing I noticed was that he had his back to his little girl. She wasn’t even near him. Even without the Crocodile Warning she could easily have fallen and drown and him not notices she was no longer there. She is quite a bit smaller, and probably younger than the boy.
I hope this photo is given to the Police. This is blatant neglect to the children.

I honestly think that people feel that ‘It wont happen to me” …. Why take the risk with your child?

What a moron!!! God this makes me angry! You want to get eaten mate that’s your choice to roll the dice- BUT NOT INNOCENT KIDS.????
Hope he lost the right to have kids without supervision- he’s obviously a MORON!!

Stupid and senseless.

I live in cairns and four days before there was a sighting of a crocodile at kewarra beach. We have signs up everywhere on areas that are dangerous. There have been many attacks by crocs at that beach, even a dog got attacked. It was without saying dangerous to have kids near mangroves and that beach area when it\’s known there is a definite crocodile in the area. Especially days within that spotting. ????

Some people don’t deserve to have kids

I don’t think I’d be game to go anywhere near the water if I was up that way.

Did he not see what happened to the beautiful 2yr old boy in the States only a couple of weeks ago? Completely and utterly gobsmacked by this!

There needs to be more information on this photo and the context.

Having travelled through northern WA, Northern Territory and northern Qld to Cairns, there is no way I would trust wading in any water where the crocodiles live. I have seen how fast they move, and especially when you have no idea that they are there.
Very silly thing to do in that country.

He just won the Father of the year award for stupidity and ignorance. His girl is too far away and he pride obviously didn’t encourage him to use his common sense, which he obviously does not have. They are all so fortunate a large crock did not take any of them away. They could have all been a meal.

I’m glad for everyone’s sake the little girl is all ok.

I can understand the concern but without knowing all the facts, and knowing how fresh the slide marks were. Saying this as a kid my parents let me near wade in a creek with up the top end as a kid.. We were very alert to the fact there might be crocs around.. But there is no way i would of turned my back on a kid as in this photo..or let them go out that far..

As someone from the top end, I can honestly say, when your a local you know if it’s safe or not. The crocodile slide marks are more often than not made by fresh water crocks which are harmless.

That photo just gives me the chills…. ????

I would be furious at anyone I knew who could be that irresponsible! People need to take note and realise DANGER Signs/signals

I don’t like to judge without knowing the full story. but how could any parent let a children croc invested waters, my kids would never go near it. the closest they get is the main show at Australia zoo.

Definitely a silly move by the Father. Why would you knowingly put your children in danger.
