update on the beach park fiasco
i emailed my friends and family that don't read my blog, and might actually go to beach park. my sister forwarded it to some other people she knows, they forwarded it to someone, and we aren't sure but my email got forwarded to a lady from the governors office. She gave me a website to report stuff to and phone # to call to report child exploitation to. which didn't really fit the issue, so she then sent me the email of the mayor of Tempe, the parks and rec directors phone # and if that doesn't get me what i want, to call the governors office and talk to someone there. I dropped the ball and didn't do any of it today before the offices closed. so i guess i am making this a big stink, taking it to the news at some point, we'll see what I find out. and how forthcoming the different offices are with information. I really don' t want to be on the news. But i am outraged enough i'll do it if i have to. there are too many unsuspecting people that go there. and if perverts , pedophiles, and other weirdos know it, you can bet they make good use of the freedom to be there. CREEPY!
I feel like it should be informed consent going there, not hidden risk. and yeah i am careful, I supervise my kids, but what about someone who doesn't? or the low income Hispanics that go there and let the little kids hang out in the water in their underwear, and no shirt. gross yes. but I've seen it. would they think that some pervy white guy might be checking them out? I'm sure it doesn't occur to them . i think twice about having my kids go to the bathroom alone there, but i know other people don't. and some think nothing about sitting far away on the benches instead of following their kids around, and getting damp.
Looking up stuff on this crap! they think this is totally fine as a hobby! comparing it to bird watching. I'm sorry, you can't get off looking at bird pictures but some freaks do looking at pictures of kids! that's where it isn't ok. ewww! and yeah researching this might just be making me paranoid. i get that way. but I have reason to be paranoid now. or at least continue to be cautious!
Am i being too over the top on this?
should i just let this go?

I don't think you're being over the top, more people need to be aware. Like the unsuspecting too trusting people. And I would love to see you on the news!
Okay, so I totally don't think you are over the top. I am with you. Can you not call the police? The non emergency police number? See what they say? It seems to me more of a matter of police/security instead of a parks & rec thing...?? The whole thing is flippin retarded and it makes me so mad! I guess I am glad I wasn't able to go with you guys but I sure would have had some choice words for the jerk!
No, you are not over the top with it. I would never have thought of that happening. I watch my kids, but with Corbin and Gav in two places at once, I can't watch them both that close. So you have educated me. I think it is ridiculous that they don't do something about it!
Well I was there and I have say thank you to you for being aware of what was going on. I am absolutely horrified that things like that happen. I will do whatever you want me to do to help.
No.
And No.
I think that you should totally follow up on this. That is a really stupid policy!
Bird watching!?!?! I don't think some creep taking pictures of kids is even close to watching a bird! That is soooo sick! Follow up 100%--people need to be aware and that is just so wrong! I of course take my camera to take pictures of my own kids when we go to the beach here--but that is not the same thing and I think that people need to know the difference and get this guy thrown in prison! Who knows where hi pictures end up!
It's wrong that in this day and age people aren't more willing take this seriously and do something about it. I don't think I would have noticed either. Kudos to you!
I would have done the same thing. I love it that your email got to so many different people and that it got the right people. There are so many sickos out there, stay on top of it and hopefully they will do something!!
