I hope that family is permanently banned from WDW......

I hope he is reinstated, and with a raise too!

That family should be banned for life.

I hope that family is permanently banned from WDW......

For what? Filing a complaint. If they feel the man punched their son then they have a right to file a complaint. More power to them.

I don't get it either... did I miss something about this incident? Why are you annoyed with the family?

 

[milkabum]

Sorry to join in.. but all tigger did was simply react to what the boy did..
Why should his entire family have to suffer?

 

[bicker]

While the complainant's credibility is questionable, the state took no action against the complainant for filing a false report, so neither should we.

I'm still not getting this... I remember the video of Tigger punching the kid. Are there other circumstances I'm forgetting or missing? Is there a reason why Tigger punched the boy?

Tigger didn't punch the boy. The boy did something to which Tigger responded by turning to try to get him to stop what he was doing. THe "punch" was not a "punch" but rather an incidental swipe caused from Tigger reaching around to the back. With no peripheral vision to aim at his target...the fact that the boy got "hit" in the face was nothing other than coincidence. When you watch the video--Tigger's paw keeps moving trying to get to the final destination of the boys left arm on his back in order to remove the arm.



**speculation of course--but since charges will not be filed, it seems authorities agree to some degree that events took place in some manner that resembles the above explanation.

OK...thank you for the explanation.
I don't know how I missed the fallout from this incident.

I also agree that people should stop calling it a punch, especially given the outcome of the investigation.

As for banning the family, despite the fact they seemed to be looking for money, it doesn't seem like banning them would be the right course of action.

In fact the whole idea seems silly. How could it be enforced? Facial recognition software at the gates?

IMO the CM should file civil charges against the family.
