Falcon park treat men/women who are alone as pedophiles

Post by Anchor Moy »

Just wow. How suspicious can you get?

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho ... 49602.html
A man has been barred from entering a park because of a policy banning single men or women without children from visiting the attraction in case they are paedophiles.

Matthew Richards travelled 25 miles to see a falconry display at Puxton Park, near Weston-super-Mare, but was unable to view the show because of the rule, which is enforced supposedly to protect children.

The grandfather and father of three grown up children had previously visited the park with his family to see the falconry displays. The ban on unaccompanied men or women in the park has apparently been in place for the past seven years and while it can be found on the park’s website it is not prominently displayed.

It is at the bottom of the prices section and is especially puzzling as the park also offers single adult membership passes.

According to the website, men and women who arrive at the park alone, but who are meeting others, must wait at reception while the other guests are summoned by tannoy announcement.
:facepalm: If they're that worried they should just ban the kids...

Common in the States from my limited experience there the last couple of decade. The playground in the public park near my parents place in Orlando has a similar, 'no unaccompanied adults' policy, and I have seen the cops enforce it against an elderly man who they thought might not be accompanied.
