Police reveal how girl fell from cruise ship before father saved her

The Florida Sheriff's Office has revealed just how a young girl managed to fall from a Disney cruise ship and into the ocean during a family vacation.

I was on the Disney Dream one week after this incident. Picture below was taken on the ship which shows the area where the little girl fell out of the port window. It is an easy climb for a child and wouldn’t take much to fall. Her parents were playing shuffleboard nearby but this area is out of sight of the shuffleboard players.

Wow! OMG I can’t believe that little ledge/sill is there. A child would absolutely be drawn to wanting to stand on the ledge in addition to sitting on the railing. Looks like an accident waiting to happen AGAIN!
 
The full story has been released. The mother had the 5 year old daughter climb up on the railing to take a picture and then the girl fell over backwards. Parents blame Disney.

Girl Who Fell from Disney Cruise Ship Was Allegedly Encouraged by Mom to Take Photo in Open Porthole: Police

A newly released police report obtained by PEOPLE reveals the 5-year-old who fell off the 'Disney Dream' cruise ship was encouraged by her mom to take a photo in front of an open porthole. Her dad dove in after her and both were later rescued.

Based on the configuration of the railing and window, it surprises me that that little girl was the first to fall to the sea!
But the mother (as with the grandfather on the RCCL ship) bear blame as well.
 
That's just insane - IDK if it should be criminal, but I think the mom is the responsible one.
