Childless Adults In Park To Be Interrogated 15
Every time I start feeling bad about crazy overreaching laws here in the US, the UK does something that makes me even sadder. Park wardens at the Telford Town Park in Shropshire, have been ordered to stop and interrogate anyone who is not accompanied by children. Visitors who can't explain their childless presence in the park risk being thrown out or reported to police. Former childcare social worker John Evans said: "It is authoritarian madness which can only be based on ignorance. It is absurd, it is insulting and it is dangerous as it panics people about the dangers their children face." I envision a new black market rent-a-kid service designed for an unmolested park experience.
like going swimming by yourself at a public pool (Score:4, Interesting)
Yeah, even though I have a wife and kids, every now and then I get a chance to go to the pool alone. As a male, let me tell you you get some weird looks just hanging out by yourself there.
Very Irritating.
