We need Regal Cinema to step up and make sure its a safe place for everyone that comes, said Madalon. If we dont make a statement and help them change their practices, other people are gonna get hurt.
Santillana said the bites took more than a week to stop itching and that scars remain. Both women said their daughters are consumed with worry about the bugs.

Its unacceptable, Gonzalez said. This shouldnt happen, especially for the little kids because theres nothing you can do for them.

Its really embarrassing, she said. People think you have bed bugs. You have it in your house. Youre dirty. But thats not the case.
Santillana said shes certain the bed bugs came from the theater.
