New Hampshire boy turns in suspected child predator while on family trip

ORLANDO -- Police say a New Hampshire boy helped stop an alarming crime during his Disney vacation.

"The beginning was pretty good, until we ran into this little, big bump," said 11-year-old David of his vacation.

David says he first came in contact with William Bishop, 57, when the convicted sex offender started acting odd around his sister by the Swan Hotel's pool on the property of Walt Disney World.

"[Bishop] was asking my sister weird question like, 'Where are your Mom and Dad?' and 'Do you know where you are, and do they know that you're going on the slide? Can you point them... out to me?' When I see something really suspicious like that, like a molester, I want to keep a close eye on him. I want to make sure he is not getting my sister or little kids," said David.

The boy told his dad, and they watched Bishop.

A half hour later, police say David caught Bishop molesting another girl near the hotel pool.

"I saw behind the bushes, he was rubbing her private area," said David. "I ran back down and told my dad they were behind the bushes."

The boy's dad got involved, and four lifeguards held Bishop until police arrived.

Investigators say when Bishop was caught, he had a small video camera under his shirt and was taping the alleged assault.

Police found more videotapes at Bishop's home and a pistol in his car.

They later learned Bishop has a 40-year history of arrests. He remains locked up behind bars in Florida.

"There is something wrong with the system that a guy like this is walking around free," said David's dad, Dave.

Florida police have asked the media not to identify where the family is from in New Hampshire over concerns that Bishop may decide to seek revenge should he ever be released from custody.
Props to the boy for being alert and being suspicious. Only if more kids could have the smarts like this boy. Though if I were that dad I probably would have commenced a massive ass kicking on the old man.

I used to work at Disneyland in Southern California and we had a freak like this that we had to chase all over the park. The guy was dressed as a woman, could have passed for one too, and he was flashing his genitals at kids. God knows what else he had been up to that day. I was working in Briar Patch at the far end of the park which is bottle necked so there is only one way out. A kid ran into Pooh Corner and told his parents who told the merchant who then called for security. We had to detain him because merchants are also repsonible, at times, for crowd control. The guy tried to run onto the back lot and we had to tackle him to the gournd which was not pleasent.

When I was through working at Disneyland I vowed never to take my kids there. From guests to employees people do to much crazy shit there. I was 19 at the time and if the world had not proven to me that humanity is a f***ed up place, working there did the job.

There used to be urban legends for years about kids getting snatched in bathrooms at Disney, having their hair cut and clothes changed and being walked out of the park and no one ever seeing them again. Everyone used to dismiss them out of hand. Now, I'm not saying this actually happened, but people tend to have an over-inflated sense of safety in the Disney parks. They assume nothing bad can happen, which is why you have dumbasses who fall out of ride vehicles and such -- that one ton roller coaster car can't be dangerous, we're at Disney!

i've heard (can't remember where) that there is an average of TWO kidnappings a day at Disneyworld (here in O-town), but they are always stopped before they can leave the park, due to the security they have set up. thats what I heard anyway.

That's the urban legend part. If this were true, Disney doesn't make enough money to keep it out of the news.

Well, they DO shit. Literally. If you've been in line for two hours, you're not about to lose your place to take care of business.

They were disappointed not to find a blade, because they really wanted to see him do the knife trick.

More proof that this shit happens here in Orlando, daily. WTF??? There is never a shortage of kiddie-touchers on the news in this town. Never.

Is it the warm weather? The attractions? What?

It kind of makes sense. One would assume that Disney World is a sort of mecca (or heaven, or whatever) for pedophiles.
post #10 of 22
it does seem that Florida is a haven for convicted pedophiles, pederasts and bluehairs. a very bizarre state, indeed.

Well there was the time I walked in on some heavy man on man action while working the Indiana Jones store. Its awefully funny how people tend to mind their business. There was no way in hell that two guys could be huffing it out in a makeshift dressing room with people on either side of them and those people not hear. Makes you feel like even in a crowd you still wont find any matter of safety. I had two co-workers step into the merchandise room and get it on on a crate of plush toys. They wanted em to play look out and I was like "Screw you guys I'm taking my mother f***ing break, you can kiss my ass." The log ride. A lot of people don't know that if a log gets jammed the system kind of shuts itself down, in the event that it is a person sticking up the ride with a body part, its been known to happen. I was working Pooh Corner, just across from the log ride, and we had some dumb as s**t frat boys who decided that they were going to halt their ride down the slope and see what happens. The slope is a non-system device, or atleast was when I was there. Once you start descending your log drops and then hits a buffer at the bottom of the ride which slows your descent and then your log can attach to the break line system. Because they halted their log just before their descent the managed to hit the slope and unhitch their log. Because the system was shut down the log at the bottom of the descent was stopped. The frat boys come barreling down and rear end the log at the bottom. No one was seriously injured, a good case of whiplash and one of the frat boys wound up with a concussion. Then you just have your a**holes. I was working crowd control for Fantasim, the spectactle of lights show, and some jerk wanted to stand in the handicapped section and watch because it was closest. There was a guy in a wheel chair who was handicapped in the arms and legs and the guy didn't leave. We had to tell him he had to go and he started to make a scene. Now for those of you who don't know, Crowd control is given this stupid looking raindow stick flashlight thing as our only means of defense. Like its stuffed with magic dust that will allow, with a waive, all our problems to just dissapear. So the guy starts to leave and he actually gets in the face of the guy in the wheelchair and shoves him. That scenario did not end nicely. Imagine a group made up mostly of O.C. rich kids still fresh faced in High School trying to muscle some big fat loser through a crowd of children and old folks. We only had to move him so far before the police came and took him out of the park.

When you get a job there the first thing they tell you is that the park, if you will notice, is surrounded by shrubs so that you can't see out. That is to create the illusion that the world outside is gone and everything is happy and blah blah blah blah blah! Does that crap really work? On the kids I think it does. I can see how most parents would want to go along with that just to make sure that their kids had the best time of their lives in the happiest place on earth, right? Like all things though you have to consider the fact that there is no place sacred and people are generally f***ed up. So put on your dumb ear hats but keep a watchful eye beacuse even Tigger wont put up with your shit.

I wish it was that simple. Then we could just take one of those Goldfinger-type lasers and just saw FLA right off. Let if float around like some sort of old person and pervert prison.

Unfortunately, it happens everywhere, everyday.

I said it in another thread, but I never noticed it while I lived in PA for 30 years. I must be watching the news more or paying more attention b/c I have a little daughter. Either way, it's dis-heartening how unsafe your own neighborhood can be. I was allowed to bang around when I was a kid (especially in the summertime) on my bike, up at the pool/playground, etc. I may be a paranoid parent, but I don't wanna let my kid outta my sight after being inundated to this stuff on the news daily.

Maybe I'm wrong, but we get it here in Ohio all the time. Actually, there has been a really bad run of pedo stories lately - maybe it is the warm weather.

Florida is the shit hole of the states. It's like if you shook the USofA and let the dust settle, all the crud would float down to Florida. Convicts, deadbeat dads, and pedophiles go there to hide. Or Alaska.

Did anyone else, when reading the title of the thread, think of that scene in Dirty Work with the crossing guard?

"The beginning was pretty good, until we ran into this little, big bump,"

Pretty odd way to start an article about a child molestor.

More wacky Disney anecdotes please. It's great stuff.

Surely Disney has their own security team ready to leap into action at the first sign of trouble, don't they? Probably some plain clothes people mixing with the tourists, snipers on top on Space Mountain, etc.

If there's real trouble they just release the Hall of Presidents to kick some ass.

You certainly don't want to know how they enjoy it.

I hadn't actually thought about it before, but now I do want to know how they enjoy Space Mountain different from the rest of us 'straighties'.
