Moral duty was to record the evidence, on the phone camera of the security screen if necessary, exit the ship, make the call, email or text the evidence, and make damn sure that the ship's captain is also charged with the same accessory provisions that apply to the getaway driver in an armed robbery.
To follow illegal orders is to make one's self part of the illegal deed.
"I was just following orders." extends to more than just the hangman and trigger pullers. Everyone that complies is just as guilty as the perp.
The SOP of driving the ship out to sea to avoid the legal jurisdiction and dump the perp off at a location without pressing charges DEMANDS the ship's captain be aware of the issue.
no....I am saying you don't know whether the captain was told anything. Unless I missed it in the article?
So as far as the captain knows...they leave port....then this crime occurred.
"But she wasn’t allowed to call it in, so the ship left port with both the victim and pedo still on board and Disney only called in the crime after the ship was out of US waters, at which point no US entity wanted to deal with the matter. Describing why that happened, Dawn then said:
“In my professional and personal opinion, I think they wanted to get outside the United States limits and get him off the ship in the Bahamas and just leave it alone.”
The article does not contain the sum total of the event.
On a ship, the captain is king. If there's an SOP to run away from jurisdiction to cover crimes aboard ship, then there is exactly zero chance the ship's captain does not know of the crime that needs to be run from.
You are assuming that there is SOP to run away from jurisdiction....THAT is what I am saying....none of us knows if the captain knew. The captain is king, but he is not omnipotent.
If this was the first and only time this very same type of issue has come up re: cruise ships, then you might, maybe, have a point.
I used the term SOP because it is, actually, in fact, industry wide SOP.
And yes, the captain is always aware of such things because he's the individual that the company will fire if such cases ever do reach proper jurisdiction.
Can't have people talking about bad things associated with the cruise line. Bad for business.
Basing reality or its limits by what an author chooses to include or not in a single article isn't best practice.
Disney did not want a police report in Florida. The guy would be arrested and tried leading to more public disclosure. Take the crime to another country were they don't care. Nothing to report, send the cast member home. Give parents $$$$. No bad press.
Simple and effective plan.
Avoids US research both press and legal. Don't need cops securing the boat or other crew members. Don't want cops to dig into background of cast member. Or finding other coverups done for "Disney's".
The Disney experience is all about perception. The grounds looks amazing. No trash every being hauled away. Disney will NEVER let people see the trash; because it is a small world after all.

The article didn't mention the ship's captain was aware of the crime, did it?
The person who witnessed the crime is the one who should have called the police, no matter what their supervisor's told them to do.
Why would someone feel the need to consult with anyone when such a despicable crime occurred?

Show me your proof that you know the captain knew about this. otherwise it's just your assumption.

She wasn’t “allowed” to call the police. Bullshit. If I saw something like that you can bet your ass I’d be calling the cops PERIOD! Just gross.
Right. She is guilty.
"Dawn Taplin was a security officer and ***** 17 *****-year veteran of the police force who worked on one of Disney’s cruise ships."
And she should be fired and treated as an accessory to the crime.
