How to spot a pervert at Tempe beach park ! ?
Today we went to beach park with Lindsey and her kids! We were having a grand time when i spotted a guy , alone on a bench! I watched him, wondered who he was with, which kids belonged to him. So i keep my Eye on him when I see him stop and take a picture or two! of no particular kids! This guy was there snapping random pictures of other peoples kids! This had happened before when my sister noticed and went and told the lifeguard the pervert was asked to leave. So i think I'm gonna go tell the lifeguard, and you Know what the Life guard has to say? they are no longer allowed by law to question the pervert guys intentions, and they are free to take kids pictures all they want , because it is a public place! WTF? the Tempe city attorney said that families that go there assume the risk! I am horrified and go tell Lindsey and we gather the kids quick and bail! when i was talking to the lifeguard I'm sure the pervert caught wind of my displeasure and I saw him bail, hiding out in the bathroom no less! So on the way by I yelled, "you are and F-ing pervert"!
(I totally use the F-word. get over it! it isn't a new thing here on my blog! ) So i call lance as soon as i get going in the car, he is calm and collected, not what I wanted, I needed outrage, and for him to reflect my irritation , at the lack or conscience the city attorney has and the lack of information saying policy had changed! I was and still am LIVID! He thought I should have taken this guys picture, taking pictures of unknowing kids, with unaware parents thinking this was a fun safe place to come. And told him to leave and that i had his picture and I was going to compare it to the sex offenders website! and if he was in violation of his parole that sucker was going to jail! My sister thought I should have confronted him and If i had the wherewithal! I should have yelled at him , taken his memory card from his camera and kicked his ass! I was in complete shock though at the change in policy and that the city knows there are perverts that go there and take Kids pictures, and they don't care to do anything about it!! I have no idea if THE PERVERT took any pictures of mine or Lindsey's kids, But I'll tell you this, I won't be going back! but then again I might just print up KEEP PERVERTS OUT OF THE PARK t-shirts and notify the press of the new policy, and stage a protest against the city! with my kids and everyone I know there in T-shirts and shorts instead of swimwear! LIVID! So if you happened to bail on me and Lindsey today , consider yourself LUCKY! what a nightmare!

That is so freaky! It is such a scary world out there and I just want to protect my boys from all of it--unfortunately I don't have that option and have no idea what they may be exposed to at times. I HATE it! I would have been mad too--and it sucks because your kids are just innocent and having fun and some jerk has to ruin for you! Sorry you had a bad day.
I still can't believe that happened!! SICK
what!!!! Creeeeepy:( Since when do we turn a blind eye to that behavior? I am so sorry that relly sucks!!!
I'm so sorry, Lindsey was lucky to have you there. Sorry we couldn't go but I do kinda feel lucky. We should go back without the kids and try & find him, take his picture and post it on all our blogs- the pervert!!!
That is really creepy!! And so stupid! So one of those pervs had to complain for it to be an issue. Otherwise the lifeguards would still be allowed to tell them to leave. What has this world come to? We give all kinds of rights to people who don't deserve them. It's disgusting.
Oh that's just awful! I can't believe it. Would have loved to see you kick that guy's a$$ though!
;)
I hate creepy guys, I would have loved to see you tell the guy off!
Ahhhhh!! That is one of my worst fears. I can't believe the lifeguard can't ask that man to leave. Seriously, how frusterating. I would have left too.
I'm a friend of zb and just happened upon your blog to read this post. I am disgusted. I honestly had NEVER even thought about perverts just taking pictures of kids in swimming suits...at MY pool! Yikes! I think you ought to find him, take HIS picture and PLASTER it everywhere you can. I LOVE the t-shirt idea, too. Good luck with your cause. Wish I lived closer so I could participate!
I think the best thing to do in that situation is make him feel uncomfortable and ask him who he's here with and if he's guilty he'll feel the pressure and hopefully take off. I also like the idea of taking his picture. Creepy. Off the subject .. . .since evidently you are not averse to the F bomb--have you ever read any of Bill Bryson's books? He is very witty and sarcastic and so much fun. I suggest getting his books on cd because he reads them himself and he delivers the wit much better than you can read it. If you choose to, start with "A Walk In the Woods" they have it at Mesa Public on CD.
Totaly gross!! This happened to me when I was at Hammilton Pool a few years ago. One of the girls I was with caught a guy taking pictures of women bending over, front and back BTW and litle children. She went over to him and demanded to know what he was doing! She basicly told him off and he ran away. She got his licence plate#, told the pool people then called Chanel 3! It's unnerving that we can't be safe anymore even in a puplic place!
Oh and I forgot, there was a perv at Skateland last time we went! Just a gross guy there by himself watching the kids skate, skating himself every once in a while, wearing short shorts from the 70's. Who goes to Skateland by himself, in the middle of the day, the dude was 40+! Seriously-disgusting!!!
Sounds like perverts are not only in Italy but also in America. Frightening! Onemh...you got really riled up about that one.
