AIBU to think children shouldn't be naked waist down at Legoland Safari splash?

[Applesandpears22]

Enjoying a lovely time at the splash safari at Legoland Windsor and people are letting their children go completely naked running around bending over etc, yes they're having fun but I think it's inappropriate here considering the amount of people around.... Maybe I'm a prude, but from a safety perspective, and for other children too,, I don't know, maybe it's not an issue but I don't like it and think the staff should have done something

These threads are always very divisive.
I would avoid allowing (my) young children to be naked anywhere that people had phones (with cameras)

I wouldn’t let ours do that - in the garden under the sprinkler at home, yes - but not in public. I don’t think it’s being paranoid to think there could be people there with ill-intent toward children.

And that's fine, but it doesn't mean it's inherently wrong.

Inappropriate. I wouldn’t let my DC do that.

I agree. In this day and age, I think its all the more important to be extremely careful, with how easily somebody could take photos or video.

Absolutely inappropriate - give them some care and privacy and dignity FGS.

Surely nobody wants their dc to be wank fodder? Because that's the reality imo..

No - predators sexualise young children, and predators are everywhere believe it or not. People you wouldn’t even think of, watch kids, film kids and put it places where other sickos watch it. Kids don’t know being naked in public isn’t appropriate - adults do, so it’s our job to protect them. I will never understand people letting their kids run round naked in public. I think it’s fucking naive parenting when there’s absolutely no need for it

They are tiny little kids running around in the water, having fun. You're the one making it weird.

How sad that we are now sexualising children in this way. Children have run around naked for millennia. It’s one of the joys of childhood not to care!

I don't think it is appropriate at all. I'm surprised it is even allowed. It is a theme park. I'm surprised there is no staff on duty enforcing swimwear or clothes on.

Don’t be ridiculous. Do you have your young children just walk around completely naked everywhere in public during summer?

Splash Safari
Adults and children are required to wear swimwear to enjoy the attraction. The only basic rules are that footwear is not permitted and that all guests enjoying the area must be wearing some sort of clothing (not undressed or in nappies only).

Drench Towers
Any guest wishing to enjoy the water structure must be wearing swimwear – this includes adults and children.

On their website. Surprised no staff member is supervising ans enforcing this.

This.
I've worked with paedophiles and the number that have their own children is frankly terrifying. It would take seconds to snatch a quick photo of someone else's child.

I wouldn’t be ok with it personally, there are far too many strangers around.

If I recall, there’s a strict no photos rule at the splash area- I have been in it twice with my children and I know I have no photos of it because of that rule.
So I would hope the staff would be on high alert for anyone taking photos anyway.
So that’s one thing, but I still wouldn’t encourage public nudity in that kind of busy setting (fine in garden, quiet beach etc)

So buy some or leave their pants on.
what’s the point of teaching a child their private’s are private, not to show strangers etc if you just let them run around in a public place full of camera phones with their genitals out?

Personally,I never let mine but for a variety of reasons. One being sunburn (we live in a very hot country),second being just to keep delicate areas protected from injury and weirdos being the third.

I'm not remotely bothered about being around other kids in the nud however. I'm not their parent and it's not my place to have an opinion on how other people do things.

(Minus abuse,neglect ofc)

The problem isn’t that the children don’t care, the op isn’t suggesting they should be feeling a bit more shame and embarrassment.

it’s that their parents don’t care about them, following the rules or keeping them safe.

Oh come on you're being ridiculous, they're practically babies then

You do realise Females can also be perverts don't you?

Aren't you a sweet natured thing!

Sadly was about to post he same. I managed one who would sit on the beach with his wife filming little kids running around naked.

I agree - we have a blanket rule of 'knickers on except when you go to the bathroom etc". It's very common practice where I live now but wasn't where I grew up.
Places like legoland/disney/theme parks are honestly hotspots for paedophiles as well - never take your eyes off your kids for a minute and make sure nobody is taking pictures of your kids too. It's absolutely rife.

Adults can and do visit legoland without dc, mostly those into Lego, no surprise there
