Filming kids in park

Freddie_Snowbits

Most child abuse is caused in the home, normally by the femnale clipping the child's ear.

“I spent my childhood feeling like a faulty product which my
parents couldn’t take back to the shop and they were angry all
the time because they couldn’t return me.
“They punished me with violence and told me off for crying.
When I was four years old my mum threw me down the stairs
and broke my arm. Another time, when I was about nine years
old, she hit me around the head with a stiletto heel.
“I had only talked to a few close friends about my childhood
before I took part in the NSPCC research. When the doors are

closed, kids only know what goes on in their own family.”

No mention of a sexual act there then!

Are your children going to the park naked? If not, what is the hysteria? I'm pretty sure both of my children have been caught on other people's cameras over the years.. I know I have pictures of random children in the background of some pics I've taken.

What exactly is a !!!!!phile going to do with pictures of your son or my son playing on some swings? Do the cameras have a built in facility to track you on your way home? Does the old man have some way of breaking into your home whilst you sleep and kidnapping your child? No, of course not. So why the hysteria?

As others have said, it's a camera. It's perfectly obvious it is there. He's obviously not trying to hide it.. would your average !!!!! at least attempt to hide his actions?

I just think it is terribly sad that your first thought is that he is some terrible person out to take away a child's innocence, surely that's you? Your children must be terrified of strangers if this is your reaction every time someone gets a camera out.

I have pictures of my children on facebook, photobucket, I chose to put them "out there".. my children are always clothed, smiling, playing, whatever. I have no control over them once they are published. And tbh, I don't spend every waking hour concerned that someone, somewhere may be a !!!!!phile and is looking at them. If they do,they do. It's not as if I stamp them with our address, phone number and school details.

On a side note, when ds was a baby, 4 years ago, some poor old man asked me if he could look at him.. his son in Aus had just had a baby, the man was probably never going to get to see him.. and he just wanted to look at him and tell me what a bonnie wee boy he was. Of course I said yes, no need to ask, but he said he felt he had to in case I thought he was "one of those men" How sad. *

*Actually he wanted to look at the little girl in the pram. My son was *very* pretty, lol.

not once have i said it was an upstairs window, perfect example of the people on this site

can you just clarify something please.

we noticed the house on the edge of the park had what looked like a stephoscope aiming from its window straight into the park - on closer inspection we discovered it was a video camera :eek: (from window to play area is 2-3meters)

the house had metal cages covering the low windows which i imagine is to stop footballs etc getting kicked at the glass.

is the camera positioned in one of the low windows that are covered with metal cages?

I'm genuinely interested to know the answer because if the camera is in the low windows then surely that alone proves there is nothing to worry about, what pedo is going to want photos/film of children with the lines of a cage in front of them?

It is nice to have a hobby, just a shame that the OPs appears to be internet ranting.

I think you are overeacting here!

Most child abuse happens in the home, there are not perverts on every corner, very few (if any) 'child snatchers' have set up CCTV before abduction, and if this guy wants to use a camera, then that's his business.

If you're that worried, keep the kids indoors all the time.

It'll buggar their childhood up, but they won't get snatched by anyone. :wall:

I'ts paranoics like you that have made it so uncomfortable, and sometimes impossible, for doting grannies and grandads, like me and DH, to take pics of our grandchildren in public places, such as lido's and school concerts.:mad:

My husband used to work for a charity, taking care of autistic children.

He had all the necessary qualifications and was CRB checked, of course.

Everyone said he did a great job and he got along well with the kids he worked with (or as well as can be with some autistic children).

He used to take the kids places in his car - which was a requirement of his job - and he was always afraid that someone would accuse him of molesting a child when they were alone in the car.

One of the things that contributed to him leaving.

A shame because there are not many caring people who are willing and able to take care of autistic children who aren't their own.

Coincidentally, he is a photographer. He photographs nature and architecture, not people, but if a child happens to be in the vicinity when he is taking pictures, what is he supposed to do?

Molesting is quite emotive language, a more mature way of putting it is "accused of improper behaviour", as that is less specific. But yes in voluntary organisations it is often seen as good practice to never be alone on a one to one basis with a young person or vulnerable adult.
