The first time I went to Disney World my sister (5 at the time..me 7) walked off with another family. We stopped for drinks at the fountain outside of Small World and when she turned around she saw people dressed in similar clothing to us walking away and followed them. My mother went mental. Luckily Bekky found her way back to the fountain where I was on look out. Can you imagine not knowing where your child is in a place as huge as Disney? She still can't hear 'It's a Small World' without wanting to throw up.

He was an idiot kid for stealing but they should have informed an adult in his group.
