Single Adults Banned from Park “In Case They are a Pedophile”

A park in the United Kingdom has banned adults from going there unattended. That is, adults cannot go to Puxton Park by themselves.

Why would they do this? Because, according to the park, unattended adults are very likely to be a pedophile.

Matthew Richards, who is married, was unaware of this rule when he took a 25-mile drive to go to the park. Richards, a bird-watching enthusiast, went to see a falconry display at the park.

When he arrived, he was told he could not enter “on child protection grounds.”

Richards was taken aback. “I was frankly amazed. I was told the rule applies to single men, and women, for the protection of children,” he said. “We have taken one of our grandchildren there before, and I saw that the falconry was there and thought it would be interesting to go back and see the displays.”

If there is logic in the law as it stands, there is logic in the other possible escalations of the law.

Duty to retreat. No single males allowed living within 1000 yards of schools...

iDuty to retreat. No single males allowed living within 1000 yards of schools...

That can be escalated to:

No males allowed living within 1000 yards of schools...

Since, even married males can be pedophiles.

I would have loved to give back to the Boy Scouts, but because I am single with no children, not a chance in hell I could do it without raising eyebrows.
