Wow. Single men can be arrested for being at a park where there are children.
 

Not only can they arrest single men at city parks where there are children, but I just saw a reporter running around accosting all the single men, implying they were child rapists. At the end the anchorman was calling on all citizens to call the police if they saw a single man at a park.

WTF?

What country is that in?

United States of America

link, we need a link or this story is dead

Parque Ninos Unidos 2030 23rd St San Francisco, CA 94107

"Adults must be accompanied by children to enter the play area" reads as rule #2 on the park's placard.

I know the children's park at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco has long posted "no adults without the company of a child."

At least they did back in the late 60's, early 70's.

And it does not apply to just single men. All adults.

Is it a private park or public park?

Sounds like a way to keep trouble causing adults away from kid areas. Probably about adult punks and drug dealers moreso than pedos.

dont you love how molesters ruin it for everyone

Maybe they don't want adults breaking the swing sets that are ment only for children !

yes but it's illegal to bother minorities and homos.

Looking forward to that story, mind to give us link?

Exactly!

It's the same with little parks in Manhattan that are clearly designed for children/families, and I'm sure in other places too. I'd never seen it before visiting there but it totally makes sense on a number of different levels.

nothing lik that in l.a.

or saudia arabia, because kids arent allowed out alone, and women cant take them cuz they arent allowed out alone without their husband, so if their husband is at a park alone, he must be gay and will be arrested

Wtf!!!!!!!!!

I think this would probably depend on the type park... there are blatant children's parks and there are regular parks that all people like to enjoy.

It does, and when these people have children of their own they will be glad there are such rules.

Fine by me. Maybe there should be a lot more parks like that everywhere, in all major cities.

Maybe a lot less kids getting abducted and ending up on milk cartons if there were.

Who would want to hang out at child park anyway?

I'm sure this is only for the kiddy parks, there's certainly plenty of parks that are clearly for little kids and I appreciate a rule like this....

Then there's more teen to adult type parks like baseball diamonds, soccer fields, tennis courts etc that obviously shouldn't have a rule like that.

and they don't.

So children can be at a park at night but not adults? Not making a lot of sense.

I'd rather be arrested as a pedo and disprove it (and maybe sue, if I lived in California), than have someone rape another kid.

If you are arrested as one and disprove it in CA, you still are one as the press has made damn sure of it. As for sueing-goodluck.

Can never be too safe, what would single men do there in the first place? just fuckin stay away from playgrounds

lololololol

Those kids you see on milk cartons were abducted by family members and people they knew. Total stranger abductions are extremely rare.

Such a stranger willing to carry out the most taboo crime in all of society isn't going to be stopped by a "no single adults" park rule. If the threat of receiving decades and even life in prison isn't going to stop them, nothing will. Certainly not a metal sign at a park.

:1orglaugh

Do you realy have to ask? :1orglaugh

There's only one country in the world where there's enough stupid fuckbags do actually do shit like this.

The ignorance displayed here is sometimes astounding

Well if thats the case, I think some will end up mistakenly as a rapist or I mean I think its quite unfair. I think security will be better off provided...

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

supervision of the parents is still needed if they're in public places.

Maybe some of those kids getting abducted by "family members and people they knew" get taken at parks.

Ever think of that?

My point for those who just don't seem to want to get it is... rules like this are designed to make it just a little bit harder for pedos and would-be child abductors, thus in my view such rules are a good thing.

Forgive me but your post sounds like you are arguing against that. Why is that? Are you saying it would be better if society did nothing? Sorry but your reasoning is flawed in my view.

Honestly why would any single man care. There are better places to hang out than kids' playgrounds.

parks that are meant solely for children.. makes sense to me . what would single guys be doing in a childrens park ?

I can't believe the number of idiots defending this crap.

Children and adults belong TOGETHER. Try and get it. Children that spend no time interracting with adults will grow up the sort of braindamaged, socially awkward sort of people that can't be governed, and aren't worth trying to.

It's not all that uncomon for signs like that in areas where there's lots of drug addicts, hookers, "cruising" guys. For some reason those people like to hang out in parks and don't care if it's for kiddies or not..

Stupidest fucking law I ever heard.

:thumbsup

I totally agree with that law if it is a park for children only

single (alone) men in a park means either they are hunting for drugs or cocks

It makes sense if we're talking about parks which are designed for kids. If this is about parks in general, then it's the stupidest law I heard of and I really don't even believe that it exists.

I do not care how they are designed -for instance we have a park that is definitely for kids judging by play equipment. It also is right off of a common side walk. Park has a few tables, plenty of shade tree's, and water faucets. Now it gets hellish hot here, like 115 to 120 in the summers and shade to take a small break or even a water faucet can be a pretty good lure.

My issue would be simple really. If they are private parks that get ZERO city, county, state, or federal help/funding etc. then fine.
If not fuck the law.
I already pay property tax for schools I will not send kids to and other assorted shit. If I want to take a small rest in one of the few non cement or asphalt areas in my town and someone attempted to bar me because I did not have a kid, oh hell no.

You aren't seeing the issue clearly at all. You are assuming that the kids in those parks are unattended or unescorted by a parent or guardian, and I'm not sure why you would do that. The law isn't to prevent all adults from being at those parks, it is to prevent adults who otherwise have no business being there from, well, being there. I'm quite certain there are plenty of adults there, who are there for legitimate reasons.

The law would seem to make it a tiny bit harder for pedos and would-be abductors of kids to operate freely, and it creates a situation where there is one less place for them to be where kids are. If that helps prevent even one kid from going missing or coming to harm I for one am all for it. If there are any "idiots" in this thread they are the ones opposing the law.
