Mom's 'Irresponsible' Act Revealed In New Reports On 5-Year-Old's Fall From Cruise
HuffPost
A detective explained how the mother was to blame for the "life-threatening situation."
The 5-year-old girl who fell 50 feet off a Disney Dream cruise ship in June was encouraged by her mother to pose for a photo at an open porthole before the child fell through it into the ocean, according to newly obtained documents.
The highly publicized accident, which happened as the ship was returning to Fort Lauderdale, at first skewered suspicion toward the child’s father amid claims that he had placed the child on a railing. But recent findings concluded the mother had committed an “irresponsible” act that led to the “life-threatening situation.”
The father jumped in after their child and kept them afloat until a crew rescue team arrived. Both survived.
According to the Broward County sheriff’s department report cited by the New York Post, the mother said she pointed to the opening and “offered her daughter to take a picture in the porthole.”
“[The mom] assumed the porthole had a window or plexiglass, and she thought that [her daughter] would be caught by the glass, but instead, she kept falling,” the report read.
