I feel sorry for the alligator. The poor thing isn't built to carry humans.
It's really stupid to bring a supposedly wild animal like that into that environment.
Not much of a party, though. Where were the other kids?
Lunacy.

As for the other kids - I imagine their parents saw the handbag-on-legs and suddenly remembered a prior engagement. And I don't blame them.
Dangerous abuse of a dangerous animal.

At best it teaches children a lack of respect for dumb animals, at worst it risks the child losing a limb, or her life.
Some parents are idiots.
Very stupid and should something have gone wrong then you can be sure that the parents would have screamed blue murder at the innocent crocodile!
Looking at Google images,it would seem there is nothing new about this. Seems both dangerous and cruel to me. Apparently this was to promote conservation.

What the parents either don't know, or simply think won't happen, is that these animals can go from stillness to violent attack in a nano-second, and it could be all over before they even realise anything is wrong.

Pastafreak - maybe the 'education' could include - 'These animals are dangerous and unpredictable, and can cause death or serious injury in seconds. They should not be approached or touched by members of the public'.
andy...there doesn't seem to be any evidence of that in the video. Worrying to say the least.
Cruel exploitation of an animal.
The potential for serious injury to the humans should not be underestimated.
Stupid in the extreme !
Poor bloody thing, typical humans exploiting animals AGAIN !! I bet it's sedated.
Parents need locking up
