The father made attempts to rescue his son from the grip of the alligator, but could not succeed and suffered minor scratches on his hand.

The mother also entered the water trying to find her child.

The authorities said that they will continue the search efforts with fresh eyes and helicopters, sonar, marine units, and an alligator trapper, but it is highly unlikely to recover the boy alive.
