Is this bad parenting?

Topics

Crunchy Nuts

This morning I was walking through a public park to get to where I was going to. It was nice sunny weather.

Anyways there was these 2 women sitting on a bench watching their kids playing on the park. Then when I looked I noticed one of the kids (the girl) was fully naked running around on the park. She was 3 maybe 4 at the most.

Now I thought this was disgraceful, not because I thought the mother couldn't afford clothes or anything like that, but purely because any old paedo could be knocking about among the nearby trees having a good spy, maybe even taking a few pictures and going home for a tug.

I just think it's irresponsible parenting. I don't have any kids and I don't intend to for 10 years at least, but I would never let any kid of mine do this.

It's certainly very odd

I wouldn;t let my daughter run about in a public park in the nuddy pants

I wouldnt let my child run naked in a public place either. But saying that the child may be like mine was and have a habit of stripping! It is very frustrating when they go through that stage.

Why would she need to run around naked? Not even knickers and vest??

Maybe the child is one of those kids that hates clothes and disrobes at every given opportunity.

Gotta say though.. if I happened upon that scene my first thought wouldn't be an 'old paedo could be knocking about among the nearby trees having a good spy, maybe even taking a few pictures and going home for a tug'.. it'd be of whether she was bliddy cold and hope she doesn't fall in some dog poo.

very peculiar indeed . This isn't meant in a racist way before I get flamed - did you manage to clock what nationality they were ?

Haha my daughter would strip at the slightest chance and walk around with clippies on. (plastic high heel kids shoes)

True, well I thought of sun burn but obviously I was imagining the wrong country!

Thats another problem too though isnt it? Kids not being allowed to do things for fear of "paedos". Not that I would ever let a child run naked though

I wouldn't let mine, but I remember walking through a shopping centre trying to calm one of my boys down and the other was walking behind me. When I glanced back there was a trail of clothes where he had stripped off!

I wouldn't let my child do it, but when abroad I have seen families of all nationalities let their little ones play on the beach in the nuddy.
Perhaps we have lost our innocence here and see bad things around every corner.

A neighbour of mine dresses her 2/3 yr old at the front room window

I think this is disgraceful.

I dont even like to see it on the beach. Cant be too careful these days.

what i found most shocking in your post crunhcy is that you admitted you may want kids (albeit in 10 years at least)

but you're right, it's not the best parenting...but it would also depend on the kid tbh. my son loved stripping and running round naked when he got the chance.....he hates clothes. but i didn't let him do it

(he used to do it at nursery alot though

)

Lots of kids take their clothes off and run around naked at that age...it's perfectly natural for them to do so.

Mine did it (well one more than the others).

It's only a big deal if other people make it so.

If I was her mother, I wouldn't be comfortable as you don't know who is watching and these days, you just never know.

I think I probably will by then (so people tell me), but in my current state of mind, I don't want kids ever! lol

Seems OK to me, the child just enjoying an innocent pleasure at an innocent age.

Don't know what the fuss is about....should little kids be wearing burkhas now in case a passing paedo happens to look at them

As long as a parent is presnt to stop someone ATTACKING them, what's the problem ?

sweet_toothMember

I still do it

My mum said when I was younger she could only find me because Id leave a trail of clothes to where I was lol.

And now as soon as I get home I HAVE to strip off to my bra and knickers, or put a massive t shirt on, clothes are so restrictive!

sorry DS, but it isn't about someone attacking them it is about someone maybe taking photos of an innocent child, and getting off on them

My oldest son not only used to strip naked at the drop of a hat but used to bury the clothes too! It was very embarrassing when we went to visit friends. If we let the kids play in the garden i would have to have a spade ready and look for unusual mounds of earth.
