Protecting Our Children...
I just saw this on FoxNews. While the police are right, it's still wrong.
That being said... we can probably guess why he was videotaping little boys, and it's not because he is a budding artist. Best case scenario, he's using the video tapes of innocent activities to satify his... urges without hurting anyone. Worst case? I'm not even going to think about it.
This is just another reminder to parents to watch out for your children. Teach them well. Warn them of the dangers. Scare them, if necessary. Protect them.
Several parents saw a registered sex offender videotaping children at a Raleigh pool last month, but police told NBC-17 that the man wasn't doing anything wrong.There's no law against having a video camera in a public park.

So... technically, William Spurgeon Johnson III, convicted in 2003 of sexual exploitation of a minor, wasn't breaking the law.
Carrie Seck said she spotted a suspicious man at the Ridge Road Pool a few weeks ago.
"I saw him secretly taping -- he had a camera hidden -- kids in the pool," Seck told NBC-17, adding that another parent confronted him about it.
"He just said something to the effect of how he liked to tape children in their natural environment, specifically little boys," she said.
