The following is taken from a news summary in The Washington
 Post for Saturday, August 2, 1997 (Page A-8).  There is no 
 attribution as to source in the article (which is in full hereunder)
 and my quote is without comments:
        SANTA ANA, Calif -- A California woman won permission to sue
 Walt Disney Co because her grandchildren were "traumatized" by seeing
 Disney characters take off their costumes.
        An Orange County judge ruled that a lawsuit by Billie Jean
 Matay, a former Mouseketeer, whose family was robbed of $1,650 in
 the parking lot at Disneyland in 1995, could go ahead with her suit.  
 In it, Matay chages that her three grandchildren, aged 5 to 11, were
 traumatized by being taken away after the robbery to a backstage
 area whre Disney characters removed their costumes.
        Disney lawyers contended that there was noting traumatic 
 about a "cartoon character taking off a cartoon character costume."
 But Matay's lawyers argued that Disneyland had to protect children
 from emotional distress -- such as that caused by seeing Mickey 
 Mouse headless.
        End of quoted article.
