A Singaporean woman claims her daughter was nearly kidnapped by two women in Hong Kong Disneyland last Tuesday.
Ms Gigi and her husband were queuing at a space-themed restaurant with their daughter behind them at about 4.15pm on June 21.
In an email to citizen journalism website STOMP, Ms Gigi said the couple had turned their eyes away from their daughter for an instant to look at the menu.
When they turned back around, the five-year-old girl was missing.
They searched the restaurant frantically and after five minutes, they spotted the birthday girl at an "enclosed corner with two young women (pictured above)".
The couple then walked over to their daughter and sat down with her. They had allegedly tried to smile at the two women.
The two women however were behaving suspiciously, said Ms Gigi.
"We were smiling and trying to look friendly but the two women were behaving suspiciously, all the while looking down or away...as if they were trying to hide their faces".
Ms Gigi's husband managed to grab a shot of the women by pretending to take a shot of Ms Gigi.
The couple questioned their daughter after they left the restaurant. The girl said that the women had asked her to follow them.
Ms Gigi said, "While we have to admit that the words of our little 5-year-old daughter may be inaccurate, and that we may be over-sensitive, this incident could be either a simple case of misunderstanding, or a case of attempted child abduction.
"We feel that it is better to be safe than sorry, and so we want to share this with all parents to be careful with their children."
