I took DS's out today and shortly before we left I let the play in the splash zone.

DS2 had his shorts and t-shirt on as it was very very hot and sunny ds1 was in rolled up tracky bottoms and his t-shirt.

I was a bit shocked by a couple of things I saw.

1 was a little girl running around naked - which tbh made it difficult to take photos of DS1 and DS2 playing although i managed to avoid catching her in all but 1 photo and that one has been editted so she has now got black knickers on.

The other thing was a young girl possible 7yrs old in a tiny bikini who was crouched over the jets of the splash zone gyrating herself everytime the water shot upwards

Now while I wasn't directly watching her I could hear other people talking and finally one mentioned to her parents that this possibly wasn't the best thing for her to do in public.

I have to admit the 2nd thing was more shocking than the little girl running round.

Lumpy I don't think you are supposed to do that... I think most folk will know what you typed anyway as I helpfully repeated it on the next line and it is still there!

i feel some of the stuff youve said is strange/wrong but i havent come here to judge or stick the boot in.
i can see youre fear and i know that fear can make us act in ways that seem irrational/over the top to others.
i really hope you will get to find some peace.
im not patronising you-this is from one human being to another.

YABU

I was at a beach today with DS, lots of people of all ages there, the other kid he was playing with was naked, I thought nothing of it, think its odd that anyone would TBH!

Gigantaur - thank you for sharing your experience of working with paedophiles.

I could never understand how it could be that they were all so cruel that they'd be prepared to harm a child in order to satisfy their urges - rather than fight it because they knew it was wrong. I don't know why but it was actually quite reassuring to hear that some don't act on their urges and actually try to get help. Such a shame more help isn't available.

Oh and wondering if the Daily Mail fan has mixed you up with It'sGraceActually as you were both active on a recent thread where Grace talked about her bottom.
