Police Respond to Reported Child Neglect Near Magic Kingdom Before Dawn

Overview

• An emergency call labeled as child neglect was dispatched to the Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Contemporary Resort area shortly before 6:30 a.m. on December 29, according to the @WDWActiveCrime scanner feed.
• Walt Disney World’s centralized dispatch system lists general area coordinates, so the precise location within the park-resort zone has not been identified.
• Because Magic Kingdom had not opened at the time, outlets noted the Contemporary Resort as a possible site, though no confirmation has been provided.
• Disney and local authorities have not issued statements or released documentation about the reported response as of publication.
• The alert is the second scanner-reported child neglect call at Walt Disney World in recent weeks, following a 2:00 a.m. dispatch to Disney’s Hollywood Studios on December 18 that prompted unconfirmed speculation about possible abandonment.
