Law against adults in playgrounds

dimanche 15 janvier 2017 à 01:00

Los Angeles proposes to follow New York City's absurd law prohibiting unaccompanied adults from playgrounds, but now there is resistance.

If the goal is to protect children from sexual abuse, it would be more effective to keep them away from adults in private places, since that is where abuse almost always occurs. For instance, there could be a law to prohibit children from spending time at home with just one adult. A single parent arriving home with children should call Child Protective Services and wait for an agent to arrive before entering the home. When the agent has to depart, the family must leave the house.

I had better state that the proposal above is meant satirically.
