    Well we asked the old lady the other day as we noticed there was also one in her bedroom window and she said she is recording the park to protect the children from druggies. Must say I visit the park most evenings after school in the summer never once saw a druggie and my sis bf lives next door, his garden backs onto the park also and hes never once seen druggies in the park.

    To be honest, I think you should really address your feelings that anyone doing anything, that you can't see a reason for, is a 'p*edophile'.

    It's one thing to make your kids aware of 'stranger-danger', it's another to give them the idea that every adult is a possible predator, and to stop them from enjoying places like parks.:wall:

    They will grow up with very strange views on life. :(

    Hmm, most suspicious thing about this post is he claims his cat answers to a name, rather than doing what it likes until it's obvious tea is ready.

    I'm a photographer and a parent. I find this thread rather upsetting as the two things I love most can rarely be done together because of overparanoid people.

    Honestly, my children are on camera a lot more than you'd think, the supermarket, the town centre, even sat in the car from traffic cameras. Potentially there's someone selling copies to some pervert anywhere? Hang on, does that sound paranoid and silly, of course it does!
    Kids hang out at parks and drink and smoke, drug deals do take place. It's perfectly understandable for people to have visible cameras set up to deter people using the park for those things.

    Honestly, OP, you're being overparanoid. If someone wanted to watch fully clothed kids on their tv all day long all they need to do is turn CBeebies on.

    Sounds to me like there have been druggies in the past and the old man and old woman next door had enough and decided to do something about it. now the people have been caught they don't come back and both like to leave a visual deterrent to prevent them coming back. If the OP is that worried firstly speak to the guy rather than make a opinion based on one fact that could mean many things and secondly if you're that worried request a copy of the recording. This is a legal right you have so you can see what he is actually recording rather than what you assume he is recording.

    In which legislation is that right enshrined?

    I'm more worried that the OP lets her kids run around the park naked........otherwise what interest would a !!!!! have in recording hours and hours of fully dressed kids which can be seen almost anywhere .

    Oh I wish I'd found this thread earlier - it's hilarious!

    Op dear - no self-respecting pedo is going to be interested in grainy photos of your little darlings fully clothed and on a swing. No. If anyone is going to be drooling over your kiddiwinks it's far more likely to be your husbands, brother-in-laws, fathers, teachers or anyone else closely associated with you. Child grooming involves winning a kid's trust and forming an emotional bond and trust...rather hard from behind a secured window. Look closer to home. MUCH closer.

    As I said. Hilarious. Really reinforces my long-held view that there should be some type of intelligence test required before being allowed to breed.

    there are pedo's everywhere, your childrens teachers, the milkman, the police, even the fathers (afterall, they get to touch and bathe their own kids). Run for the hills! where the local wildlife will also have a go. to anyone thinking a camera on a park is somehow wrong....please remove your head from your rectum....NOW!

    Why are so many people putting "pedo"? That's the American way of spelling it. :mad::mad::mad: We have an A in it. Say it out loud? Pedophile (ped-ophile)...it just sounds ridiculous. It's !!!!!phile !!!!!!!!
