Show me where is says pedophiles don’t take picture in public, and if you’re about to say a team dad can’t ALSO be a sec offender please read your local papers and look at your local sex offender registry.

The thing I find most unlikely about this is that the SAHD’s I know would be the first people to object to someone photographing their kids like this.

I’m a SAHD, and I love some dad into photography takes photos of all the kids at the game and shares them to our private FB page. Once again your sexist premise is wrong!

Your sample size is one.

As are you. Thanks for proving my point.

Reading is fundamental. SAHD’s is plural. None of the (more than one) SAHD’s I know would be fine with a random man taking pictures of their children like this. Insofar as it’s gender based, the fathers of daughters would be even more upset. Even other SAHDs on this thread have said they wouldn’t be good with it.

You’ve asked them all? Sure. Anyone who improperly uses an apostrophe clearly can’t be trusted to tell the truth of all the SAHDs she has asked this question and knows for a fact they would have an issue with a photographer at their kid’s soccer game.

Wait which is it? He’s a threat because nobody knows he’s a parent so he’s “creepy” or he’s a threat because they do know him? You are moving the goalposts all over the place in order to justify your hate of all men.

Also the police would tell the person who called taking photos in public is not illegal. When did the OP ever say the cops were called anyway.

You are also truly ignorant if you think all soccer games and swim meets take place at a school.

How are you being treated like a criminal? Because women here say they’d feel unsafe by an unidentified man standing back from the field taking telephoto shots of their kids at their soccer games?

How do you know what the man is shooting?

You haven’t explained how that makes you feel unsafe! You haven’t explained how you’d feel about a woman doing the same thing. You have also failed to equate photos to SA.

More giant leaps of conjecture and zero substance.

Because the OP said he was.

I would feel unsafe because sexual predators have been arrested taking long lens photos of children on school and other public grounds and I don’t want my child being photographed by a pedophile for their gratification.

And you have yet to explain how a photographer can take pictures of a team sport without taking pictures of other kids. Again doing so in Public is not against the law. This is not some random person taking pictures at a public park or swim meet or a soccer game.

You’re just a sexist admit it.

It is in fact some random person taking picture at a public park or swim meet. Because the opposing team has no idea who he is— therefor he is A Random Person taking photos at a swim meet or school.

If he cannot zoom in to only photograph his own child, he can decide that his photographs are less important than the people in his community feeling safe and rely on the team or school photographer. He can ask the coach to check with the opposing team before a match to ask if everyone is ok with him photographing. He is choosing to do none of those things and so yes, it is likely someone will call the police to check out the random man taking photos of children.

Sexual predators taking photos of random kids is exceedingly rare. Far more rare than the frequency of women abusing children. Are you aware that most abuse happens at the hands of someone close to the family and not random strangers? You are not being rational.

I would like to see the statistics that say it is exceedingly rare for pedophiles to photograph children in public.
