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

And aren’t you a naive little thing to think the world is some sweet, delicate place where children should frolic through the daisies naked and everyone claps and smiles. I’m educated on what the world actually entails. Do what you like with your kids, at least I know for sure some sickos aren’t out there looking at naked pictures of mine. I’m realistic, not nasty. Educate yourself.

Maybe you should read ThePoshUns post underneath yours…about the dad on the beach…

What scabby parent doesn’t have clothes for child at a park? Totally unhygienic and gross. They wear clothes all the time in public, why Lego land different.
Scabby grubby.

This!
God those responses are weird, OP is trying to protect kids from being sexualised because the reality is there are paedos everywhere.
And of course it will be cleaner if they keep pants on 🙄

And let’s not forget they walk amongst us … just because there are dads there with a bunch of their own kids, it doesn’t mean that they don’t have a penchant for viewing/secretly filming someone else’s 🙈

They absolutely do

I wouldn’t do this- and think it is a little odd when people let their DC do this in public. As a PP said they could easily be accidentally snapped in someone else’s photo.

But some children are much more comfortable naked and it’s sad that we live in a world where it isn’t safe for them to this.

How is it sexualising kids to not want to see them naked???
It's uncomfortable to be around random naked children, it's just a bit grim and at places like legoland there will be people taking photos do you want your child to end up naked in the background in someone's camera roll!? Weird as hell to let your children go around naked in public. Also a bit gross if they're going down slides naked that other kids have to use.

No you don't. Anyone can go to legoland at any time. They do have adult events but this is not a restriction.

YANBU.

I've been there and all kids were in bathing suits. I wouldn't have let my 3 year old go in there without one. Although, like a PP said.. parents may have not realised there was a splash park there and didn't bring swimwear. But then I think I'd keep their pants on, as they can go commando after!

Im with the op and wouldnt be comfortable with this either.
Because peadophiles love to see naked little bodies. Im not sexualising children but they do. No need to make it easier for them.

Thank goodness for the sensible post.

I absolutely would not want my children’s pictures end up in hands of some sicko on the dark web. Creeps are everywhere and many are married with children so would of course r some in a place like Legoland.

Bad people don’t announce themselves and most definitely walk amongst us blending in so we don’t see them as a threat.

Also what about slightly older children? They probably don't want to be playing where naked kids are running around either I can imagine that's quite uncomfortable for them and confusing as it goes against everything we tell our kids about privates being private

It's not about the OP sexualising young children is it? That's such a daft thing to say. It's about anyone else who's watching and taking photos (which with mobile phones is about as easy as it gets). Just because they're 5 years old and not 14 doesn't make them any less wank fodder for certain individuals. There's also the small matter of consent. Has anyone asked these kids if they want their private parts on show for everyone to see? How can you tell a child on one hand that their their private parts are in fact "private" but on the other hand let them run around with their genitalia on show in front of hundreds of strangers. I can't believe, in this day and age, that some posters can't at least see some negatives in children being naked in public.

Nope, wouldn’t let my DD, not a chance. Imagine finding out a video of your naked child was doing the rounds on the dark web being distributed for men’s personal use 🤮 it is not sexualising children to want to protect them, their parents are failing at protecting their children, simple as that.

we were there at a similar time, so the story sticks in my mind. It is isn’t about sexualising, it’s about protection. What you do at home in the garden is one thing, in public is very different.

I wouldn’t let mine do it, pants on at the least for anything that isn’t just immediate family/our own garden. Happy for them to be naked in own garden etc as we aren’t overlooked. But not in a public place. That said, I don’t have much of an opinion about other people’s children doing it. It’s not my business.

YANBU. Let kids run around naked at home but not where it can make others uncomfortable. Ignore the fools saying you’re sexualising children, that’s just facetious

Of course you don’t need children to attend. I’ve been with my husband only before. We love rides and Lego. Don’t get me wrong we don’t visit it frequently as we prefer the bigger theme parks with more adult rides. And we would have no interest in visiting a splash park thing full of kids. But the point is you absolutely can go to Lego land without kids and even as a single man by yourself you can.

This is the point and having a pair of pants on is not going to affect the fun and then they can get dressed and go commando if you’ve no spares with you .

Unfortunately you don’t know who else is around these children. I’d always cover them up, but for no other reason than their own safety

I am amazed at some people's nativity to the danger of this. Times have changed.
I work in a male prison, my DH is a SW in children's services. We would never let our young children be exposed in this way. Wise up

Smears of brown on the slides...🤢

Boak. Bum flora and fauna.

Some would abuse their own too.
Far more kids are abused by family than kids abused by strangers.

Im surprised Lego allow kids to be naked. You wouldn't do it in a pool why do it anywhere else. Maybe they should sell swim stuff for parents who've forgotten.

Fair enough. Diana would probably roll in her grave if she knew kids were walking around naked around the memorial.
