Those families shouldn't have to be subjected to the perversion these adults bring to a park setting.

Does anyone want the families of these perverts hurt? Of course not. But reality is reality. If these men's families don't already know what this person is doing, then they sure do now and they can get themselves and/or their kids away from the 'perverts'. If they choose to stay with them, then shame on them.

I don't feel the public or the media should feel the need to protect these people. WE aren't the ones doing anything wrong and WE deserve to know what is going on in a public place so that we can be aware of what our kids are subject to see and take our own action to protect them.

Had there not been a news account of this, I might not have know this was even going on...until I or my kids got their own eyeful. And I can guarantee you that had this happened to a family and that family found out that the media knew but didn't report it...just who do you think would be in the media then? The media would be....that's who.

So again, who should we protect...the majority of us or JUST the families of the perverts?

Tonight there was a story about how WAVE 3 was the only news station to get to ride around with the police to film them busting men performing public sex acts in parks near families and children. I know that this is a persistent problem and that it needs to be stopped but I have a serious issue with the station showing these men getting caught on film. I do not feel sorry for the men but I do feel bad for their families who have to live with the consequences of these men being on television for everyone to see. There was one man who passed out and it was stated he was married with 2 kids. Now those children will have to deal with the fact that their father was on TV being seen arrested for a sex act. The children and families of these men are innocent victims. This kind of reporting just doesn't hurt the men. WAVE 3 has added to the pain that these families are going to have to deal with just for a story that really is very old news. I hope it was worth it.
