While having a cigarette near the Tusker House in Animal Kingdom I looked over the wall at the water. I happened to notice a child walking around in a place that he shouldn’t be. The child had hopped a wall, and gone down an embankment to get where he was spotted by me.
I immediatelly notified an employee so that the childs safety wasn’t jeopardized. I mean seriously, who wants to see any child get hurt if they could do something to possibly prevent it. Security showed up, and spoke with the child. Most of us would think that Disney would have taken this matter much more serious than I witnessed. What do you think should have happened?
If it were me that did this they probably would have immediatelly ejected me from the park.
Well, none of what you think was done. The security guard repremanded the child, and went on his way. He didn’t even speak to the childs parent / guardian. Later on I saw what appeared to be a family that had no concern for what the child was doing.
The family was just sitting there, and didn’t know where the child was for most of the time that I was sitting in that area.
I will have a picture so you can all see the area that I am referring to.

Shadow…Actually I was there for a bit because it was the smoking area… The guy that came over wasn’t even security. He was just a regular guy. They scolded the kid, and left. They didn’t even talk to the parents. My wife got a real nice picture of the kid where he didn’t belong.
I agree that they should have found his parents and talked to them about the dangers. They probably did keep an eye on him for a bit to make sure he didn’t climb back down there though. If not those security, but the internal security that you don’t recognize.
Since the child was a minor, he should have been detained until his parent or legal guardian took charge of him. I was going to say responsible adult but the situation speaks for itself loudly.
