A dive team with sonar equipment was on standby — just part of a 50-person rescue team on the scene."As a father, as a grandfather, we're going to hope for the best in these circumstances, but based on my 35 years of law enforcement experience, we know we have some challenges ahead of us," Demings said.Demings said the Nebraska family of five was relaxing on the shoreline when the alligator attacked the boy.The father entered the water and tried to grab the child from the alligator, but was not successful. He had scratches on his hands after the ordeal.
