Crowded Water Park

Semi Nude Place not to be with families encountering semi nude swimmers since the late 1990s, the park should be closed to those under 18 years of age due to concern about children.
A crowded water park provides an almost unlimited selection of possible victims. ... where they may be semi-nude give pedophiles the chance to steal looks
You have seen them--bumping into kids in the wave pool, hanging around the changing rooms, splashing in the kiddie pond, running under the waterfall with a toddler, and maybe even playing with their own children. Pedophiles. Child molesters. Sexual offenders. Wherever children play, they linger. And waterparks are no exception.

Why Pedophiles Love Waterparks
Child molesters work in secret. They do not want anyone to know what they do. If they get caught, they face humiliation, hatred, and perhaps even jail time. So they seek environments were they can commit their crimes and get lost in the crowd. To a child molester, a waterpark offers anonymity. Sexual predators look for children with specific physical characteristics that they find attractive. A crowded waterpark provides an almost unlimited selection of possible victims. Ask a pedophile what he thinks about waterparks and this is what you’ll hear, “It’s a paradise. Where else can you find tanned, beautiful kids in tiny little bathing suits?” Families, looking through eyes of innocence, see waterparks as good, clean fun. Child molesters, looking through eyes of lust, see opportunity.

Waterparks offer easy access to children. Parents let their children wander about the park to enjoy the activities. Child molesters like environments where they have easy access to children—children whose parents may not have them in direct sight at all times.

One method pedophiles use to gain access to unsuspecting children is to act like a child. What better way to lure a child than to engage in child’s play? And, an adult acting like a child at a waterpark would be easily overlooked. We recently completed a safety assessment of a waterpark after a child molester invited three 10-year-old girls to play “rescue.” He pretended he was drowning while they jumped in to “rescue” him. The first two saves were great fun! On the third, he slipped off his bathing suit so he could feel the young girls sliding against him.

Nudity attracts child molesters. On a hot summer day, water parks overflow with partially clad children. Environments where children change clothes or where they may be semi-nude give pedophiles the chance to steal looks, take pictures, make videotapes, create fantasies, and get aroused. Child molesters frequent locker rooms, changing areas, and bathrooms in search of a potential victim.
