Police Approval
According to Madelyn's retelling, the police were hesitant to bring her out of the park. They didn't believe she was doing anything wrong, but since the park had the ability to deny access, they had to remove her from the premises. She later recounted the walk-out, saying: "'We can't actually say anything,' they said as we walked outside… 'but I hope from the expression on our face you can tell how we feel.'"

Madelyn left the battle, but she would win the war. She decided to take to the internet to post about her hellish experience at Missouri's favorite waterpark. She wanted to warn other plus size women who went that their treatment might be similar to hers. "I felt like it was both age and body discrimination," she wrote, "I felt like I could look around me and I could see a handful of other girls half my age, wearing the same size swimming suit and not being singled out and told to put on the clothes or leave."
