I think Disney should make a big payout but as a parent I would not be able to live on millions given to me due to the gruesome death of my child.

I would probably take the money and put it to good and making the world a better place by doing something like creating a charity or scholarship in memory of my child.

But use that money to buy boats, decorate my house, go on vacations and eat out? No friggin way. I could not live a life of luxury from blood money for tue death of my baby.

+100. I wouldn't be able to touch that money. I'd feel guilty and grief stricken every time. But donating it to a charity that helps other kids, yes. But assuming the family does get a settlement, I wouldn't dare judge them for whatever they choose to do with the money. (not saying that you were, PP... just doing a little pre-defense for the people who will yell at me for being judgey).

And the magical $500 billion Dr Evil quoted a few pages back is? The reality no amount of money brings the kid back or takes away the pain.

Right, that was my point, perhaps not made well.

To those talking about massive settlements in hundreds of millions, maybe the Plaintiffs attorney will come back to explain (I don't practice this area of law), but in wrongful death cases, there are actual values placed on a person's life, and on the suffering of the plaintiffs, which are calculated using all sorts of criteria. That's why there is not a limitless cap on what a family might receive in settlement for loss of their toddler's life. In the case of a small child, I'm not sure what the criteria are, but I'm guessing that's what the PP attorney was basing his 6 mil max figure on.

Do you really think that a huge settlement is going to bankrupt Disney? Not at all possible. A huge settlement is pocket change to Disney. Mor damagingnis the damage to tyeir brand and image. The money, even large sums of money, is nothing to them.

Uh, yes. A billion dollar settlement will hurt them.

In no realm of reality will this ever reach a billion dollar settlement. You sadly overestimate what the courts hold to be the value of a child's life.

Ah but the vacations and date nights would probably help their marriage which I'm certain has taken a big hit. Also a lifestyle upgrade would benefit their other child who is probably going to have hard times growing up in a grieving family. I'm sure most people would spend the "blood money" to help themselves cope. A vacation to help a couple struggling to reconnect and on the verge of divorce over the preventable death of their child....I wouldn't think less of them if they did spend Disney money to help their marriage and their other child.

Derp. If one person knows three families not going, I'm sure there are more than 3 families.

I think NOW is the safest time to go to Disney, when all attention is being paid to resort/park safety.

It might not be safety concerns as much as disgust.

You are a seriously dad and screed up person who I feel like must live a fairly unhappy live if it is so important to you to believe that this corporation and all its staff either wanted this to happen, thought it was likely, aren't devastated that it happened and aren't ensuring it won't ever happen again

Sad and screwed up*

You're so Dad and Screed up!

No one wants to believe it but when sources come out and say Disney knew the danger...

Knew the danger of an event that is more rare than getting struck by lightening, even within Florida?

People rant that Disney only cares about money; I don't think so. I think to work at such a child-centered company, even if you're in the corporate office, you have to really like children at an above-average level. Kind of like being a teacher and having a child die in your classroom. I bet the employees who were nearby on that beach feel absolutely terrible.

You're on record alright-- for being naive.

And you're on record for being a jerk.

I've seen plenty of Disney fans online complaining they won't go to the resorts that put up fences. Humanity is doomed.

And I'll add, $6 mil is probably nothing to that family either, in comparison to the permanent lose of their son.
