A woman was randomly assaulted by a child in a troubling incident at Disneyland Resort. The victim was visiting Disney California Adventure Park with her romantic partner when a five-year-old boy approached her and struck her in the back “full force.” This utterly unexpected attack left her visibly distressed, prompting her partner to share the experience on social media.

The victim’s partner spoke out on Reddit under the username u/DarkKnightCometh. The Disney Park guest expressed disappointment at the lack of remorse shown by the boy’s parents. Instead of an apology or acknowledgment of the incident, they appeared indifferent, dismissing the situation and seemingly blaming the couple for being at the Disneyland Resort without children.

“My GF and I were sitting down eating in [Disney California Adventure Park] and some kid (around 5 y.o.) comes up behind my GF and punches her in the back full force,” the social media user recalled. “Yes he was a little kid, but my GF is also tiny and has a history of back issues.”

“After a half ass apology from the mom, they sit at the table behind us and the dad, who wasnt there when it happened, returns with their food,” they continued. “We didn’t say a single word to them. Then the dad, who must’ve been informed of what happened and saw my GF visibily upset, walks by us and mutters something to the effect of ‘What are fucking 30 year olds doing at disneyland’. Like bro sorry you can’t control your psycho kid, that’s not our fault.”

  1. So kid or no kid, if he’s old enough to hit, he’s old enough to get hit back. Sorry to say this but that’s why kids are like they are today, parents fault but I’m sorry, kid needs to learn. If you hit someone you’ll get hit back
