| Anonymous Coward User ID: 60955603 United States07/30/2014 08:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Soooo, let me get this straight. they can police the park for 7 year olds without parental supervision but not for pedophiles. why shouldn't a parent feel that police would be driving past a playground on a regular basis to make it a safe place for children? I thought that was their job. |
| Hartland User ID: 42985532  United Kingdom07/30/2014 08:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Port St. Lucie, FL (WPTV) — A mom faces a charge of child neglect after she allowed her son to go to a park alone. She says he’s old enough but Port St. Lucie Police disagree. Now she’s fighting back. Quoting: Philligan “I’m totally dumbfounded by this whole situation,” says Nicole Gainey. It began last Saturday afternoon when Gainey gave her son Dominic permission to walk from their house to Sportsman’s Park . “Honestly didn’t think I was doing anything wrong,” says Gainey, “I was letting him go play. [link to fox6now.com] Can't see it being neglect on her part but no way would i of let any of my kids play out of sight at 7, my instinct then was right, as of then and now we have a Government protected by police both riddled in pedophilia.

Just so I have this straight, the police arrested the mother because the police couldn't keep the park safe? This is equivalent to a health inspector arresting restaurant patrons for attempting to eat at a place that had health code violations! Pray for Us Sinners Now and at the Hour of our Death |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 45756425 United States07/30/2014 08:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's too bad that kids can't play alone too many places anymore without fear of getting kidnapped or abused. 10-15 minutes is pretty far though, I could see if it was a park a few blocks away- that's probably a half mile at least (thinking an adult can easily cover a mile in 10-15 min, kids meander), especially when a 7 year old is alone. You have to wonder if there wasn't more to the story for the mom to get arrested-$4,000 bond? Felony? |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 6409759 United States07/30/2014 08:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Very strange how things have changed. In the early 80s I walked a mile to school at age 5 and never was any trouble. Many other kids did too. Played at the park all the time down the street with other people the same age. I know there are more predators out there now but arrested for it? Just wow. Oh and the reason they aren't policing the park is they are too busy corporate protecting and revenue collecting on innocent whites. |

Things are a hell of alot different today. To let a seven year walk to a park by himself and play is neglect in today's world. A cop can't sit at a park and watch a child all day. Let alone someone driving by and snatching him up on the way. |

How stupid does that sound??? |

And that his policing skills would be better used towards that end than ARRESTING what seems to be a decent parent. |

She was arrested because: The officer wrote in the report that Dominic was unsupervised at the park and that “numerous sex offenders reside in the vicinity.” “He just basically kept going over that there’s pedophiles and this and that and basically the park wasn’t safe and he shouldn’t be there alone,” says Gainey. There's sex offenders in the community. Right? Or was she arrested because its WRONG what she did? Idk I'm confused Pray for Us Sinners Now and at the Hour of our Death |
