Reply #13: Actually, if there is a playground in the area, I think it's a good law.

When I go to a park with my children, I check out every single adult to see whether or not they have a reason for being in the park. If I see someone not clearly with a child, I keep my eye on them.

With playground equipment, it's damned near impossible to keep one child in view at all times, let alone two or more. If there are no adults in the area who are unaccompanied by children, the odds of someone being there for unsavory purposes diminishes.

As a parent, I like the law - again, provided the woman was in the area of a playground and not just in a park with trees and benches and such.
