What do you look like RFN!?? - Page 57

I'd say to hell with it. If someone actually approaches you, it's not like you don't have a reason to be there. That being said, I'd probably not do it either...

There have been a few times that I thought it would be cool to have the camera at the pool. But even though it's a membership type place, it's still pretty public and I think it wouldn't fly.

I brought the digital cam and took lots of pictures of the pup during her first few private swim lessons at the local municipal pool this spring. They were during normal swimming hours in the the evenings. No one said anything to me...and I didn't notice anyone making a big deal about it. *shrug* I didn't even give it a second thought. I was more worried about looking like a crazy shutter-happy parent than a pedophile, but I'm female.

Male vs Female makes a big big difference.

I coach soccer for a couple different age groups. some of my players have gone on to play at club level around the area. I have been known to pop up at games to take pics of the kids that have moved on. I put them together with pics from our previous teams then give them to the kids and their parents. Kind of a "look at the progress" kind of thing. Dorky, yes, but fun.
Anyway, I was approached by two very stern looking fathers at one game who grilled me over what I was doing. They knew I wasn't a team parent and they thought I might be a perve. One of my former player's parents cleared up the confusion, but it was a sad, enlightening experience.

I still get looks at tournaments when I'm taping ankles for some of the kids, and stuff like that. People are very suspicious - and they should be, but it is hard for a non-pervert to operate effectively with that level of suspicion.

l123 -- bingo.

Sad and true.

I have had the same experiences. Little league, not soccer though.

I can be known to my kid's teachers. I can be known to some/most of the administration of the school. But I can't be known to all the security staff, all the volunteers, all the lunchroom/playground/library adults...

orthodoc recently posted a terribly sad story about his kid's teacher. wtf?! How can you simultaneously have an appropriate level of skepticism and concern and still give these unknown (to me, and I to them) adults access to my child?

This is a question I do not have a ready, repeatable answer to.

Appearances are no help. Picture taking behavior is no indicator. I can feel another thread coming on....
