Celebration, Fla.: Where face punching doesn't exist

From WKMG TV in Orlando:

In the early '90s, Disney founded the town of Celebration, Fla., hoping to create a utopian community where families could raise their children with no risk of robbery with a punch to the face. That dream recently came crashing down.

A woman was punched in the face and robbed in her normally quiet Celebration neighborhood.


Apparently the suits behind Celebration decided they'd try to keep the incident under wraps and unknown to residents. Little-known fact: It says in the Celebration city charter that a wallop to the dome is punishable by a permanent ban from riding "It's a Small World."

Some said they are angry warnings were not posted sooner.

"I would want people to know, whether in a mailbox, like to say, "Keep an eye out for this person and this is what happened," resident Valerie said.
