just too warn you

[marv]

I dont want to alarm any one and ime sure you all keep that extra eye on your children while at the water parks. I was sure i did and cant recall my kids being that far away from us while we were at Typhoon lagoon in 2004.
We were planning our next holiday the other day for this April and i went through the same lecture with them on how not go away from me and dont wander off. My now nearly 15 yr old comes out and tells me that when in typhoon Lagoon she was under water swimming and this old man exposed him self to her. I was very shocked and asked why she hadn't told me and she was worried about what we would do and it would cause trouble.
Ime just glad she,s told me now so when we go next time i can be more aware and let them all know that if this happens again they must tell me.

I hope your holidays go well

Very good advice that probably to be honest applies at all the theme parks , that is not in anyway suggesting they are not safe.

I agree we all felt more safe there than walking in any city in Britain, just a shame that i wasn't able to deal with this man at the time, ime sorrry that he may have done this to other children and still may be doing this now.

So sorry marv, must be frustrating to only find out about this now, thanks for the warning,

I'm sure I've heard of a similar occurence at one of Orlando's water parks while we were visiting many years ago - I can't remember if it was a Disney one, or Wet 'n' Wild or Water Mania, though!

Your DD must have felt awful, it would be a shock to me and I'm a lot older!

I'm sure the "older gentleman" I heard about was approached by staff and he protested his innocence. He blamed an accidental slippage of his trunks as the cause for his exposure! Everyone who saw him said it was intentional, though.

I always make DH double-check that his shorts are tied securely when we go swimming as I don't want him to have a "wardrobe malfunction!" I'm quite strict about this - to the point of obssession!
