If you have heard scary tales of missing children at Hong Kong Disneyland, they are just wild talk. The theme park, the Hong Kong police and Hong Kong Tourism Board told The Sunday Times that since it opened in September 2005, there have been no reported cases of missing children.
There are at least two online versions of these untrue tales with a Singapore angle. In one version, a Singaporean man had taken his two children to the theme park. When one child went missing, he embarked on a frantic search. A kindly old couple then offered to look after his other child while he continued his search. It ended with him losing both children - as the couple and his child had disappeared.
