Police Accused of “Torture” While Carrying a Screaming Mother Out of Disneyland

Police officers are accused of using too much force on a woman as they dragged her out of Disneyland Resort. A video posted on social media shows law enforcement carrying the screaming guest through Disney California Adventure Park in front of her children.

Despite rumors otherwise, Disneyland Resort doesn’t employ its own police force. Security cast members search guests entering the Southern California Disney parks and deal with minor disputes. The Anaheim Police Department stations officers on property to respond to any major issues and issue trespass notices to guests that Disneyland Resort bans–permanently or temporarily.

On July 1, TikTok user @gadzooks2025 shared a video of the police carrying a screaming woman out of Disney California Adventure Park, accusing the officers of using “force” on a mother in front of her children. The Disney Park guest visibly resisted as law enforcement carried her by the arms and legs. Security cast members were also involved and surrounded the officers as they removed the woman from the park.

The footage sparked a debate among Disney Parks fans, some of whom agreed that the police were too aggressive with the woman.

“That looks excruciating,” @jazzlokks commented. “This looks like complete torture I don’t know what she did but to carry her like that ??”

“Injurious way to carry someone; albeit an unruly suspect but it appears to be a deliberate intent to injure,” @xx26086 replied.

Still, many Disney Parks fans blamed the guest for behaving inappropriately at Disneyland Resort and resisting the police in front of her children.

“‘In front of her kids’…. Adding that part excuses her for her behavior or something? In fact, it makes it worse,” @richferguson argued. “Whatever she did, she probably shouldn’t have done it in front of her kids. But yet we blame the cops!”

“What kind of mother behaves this way?” @hanniganlaw asked.

It’s unclear what caused Disneyland Resort security to call the police on this guest. However, it’s safe to say that she won’t be allowed into Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park, or Downtown Disney anytime soon.
