What the petition asks
To make a public playground a safe place for children to be in. No one over the age of 18+ can enter a public playground without accompanying a child between the ages of 0-16 years. this is to create a safe environment for our children. excluding people over the ages of 18 with disabilities
This is due to incidents of adults praying on young children in public playgrounds.
Furthermore i have personally encountered adults being in playground without children of their own watching my daughter, trying to beckon her over and film her. children should be safe to play without the threat of this kind.
