Disney Gator Attack: Victim"s Family Decides NOT to Sue!

Last month, a 2-year-old boy named Lane Graves was killed by an alligator while staying at a Disney World resort with his family.

As the details of the tragedy emerged, it began to look as though the park was at fault for failure to post signs warning guests that gators and other dangerous wildlife may be present in the shallow waters surrounding the resort.

The case seemed to have the makings of a lawsuit that would not only result in a massive judgment for the Graves family, but also send a message about the importance of proper safety measures to theme parks around the country.

Shockingly, however, TMZ is now reporting that the Graves family has decided not to sue the Disney corporation.

According to the site, Matt and Melissa Graves issued a statement moments ago in which they shared a personal message about their worsening grief, but also revealed that they will not be seeking damages from Disney.

In the statement, the Graves stated that they’re struggling to “comprehend why this happened” and feel that “the pain gets worse” with each passing day.

However, they say that they see nothing to be gained by enduring a lengthy legal process.

In lieu of a lawsuit, the Graves announced that they will found the Lane Thomas Foundation in order to “keep his spirit alive.”

The family didn’t go into specifics regarding the purpose of the foundation.

They also didn’t reveal how it would be funded, but it’s widely assumed that Disney will be footing the bill.

The Graves family has spoken out about the tragedy in the past, and while their anger and grief is clear, they never explicitly blamed Disney.

Perhaps they believe that the death of their son was simply a senseless tragedy and they prefer any action taken in his name to be entirely positive.

Our thoughts go out to the Graves during this difficult time.

Sister Wives Season 6 Episode 10 Recap: The Judge Decides ... WHAT?!

Sister Wives finally showed us if the family’s efforts to adopt Robyn’s kids – Dayton, Aurora and Breanna – were successful last night.

The affable polygamist patriarch with the bizarre hair, Kody Brown, and his wives had been lobbying for this for so long. Did they achieve the goal?

“Congratulations,” the judge said on Sister Wives Season 6 Episode 10, fittingly titled “A Judge Decides,” approving the adoption requests at last.

And that was that.

“[The adoption is] so vital to our family,” Kody said, repeating what he’s said so many times. “It’s so important, but we don’t know if it’s going to happen.”

Christine, Kody’s third sister wife, also reiterated that their entire effort is likely to “come down to the judge and how he feels about plural families.”

Kody hoped the judge would see “value” in their large and loving family, however unconventional it may seem, and after a “tense” hearing, he did.

“This is what it was all about – it was all about the kids,” states Meri, Kody’s first sister wife, who divorced Kody so Robyn could legally marry him.

“It wasn’t about me or a legal marriage or a legal divorce. It was about the kids. And it was definitely worth it,” even though for her it was the hardest.

But the adoption of Dayton, Aurora and Breanna isn’t the only exciting moment Sunday. Madison Brown, the daughter of Kody and Janelle, is dating!

“There’s a guy, and we’re pretty serious,” Madison teases her parents. “And you know him.” He’s Caleb Brush, the brother-in-law of Kody’s brother.

“This isn’t some weird second-cousin marriage thing,” Janelle interjects, explaining to viewers that it sounds off, but there is no blood relation involved.

“Hey, hey! I couldn’t have picked better myself!” Kody says.

All in all, a banner night for the fam. Follow the link to watch Sister Wives online and catch up with all the Brown happenings this season so far.
