No issues here. I would probably do it if I didn't have suits with me for some reason. Wouldn't think twice about the 3 year old, my kids probably would have balked about it at 6, though. I guess I don't let those perverts get to me much.

Yes...I might be a bit over-vigilant perhaps regarding child predators & child porn scumbags etc. It's just that it is so EVERYWHERE now.....

If he had stayed right with them, not having suits would not have caught my eye as much....but leaving them alone with nothing on...AND the water issue of course.

Not everyone is hyper vigilant with their kids. Not everyone needs to be. Obviously he felt he had the situation under control.

I always made sure mine had suits on...what is interesting, is really, a picture of two young girls playing on the beach naked, would be very cute picture to one person, would be completely inappropriate to another person, and child porn to yet another...same picture...

Thanks, Jas12...that is what I thought too...

For me, they were just lovely and innocent...it was a pretty picture at the time.

Perhaps they are a family that is relaxed about nudity, and since the girls were so young, it wouldn't have bothered me much. But I believe if you are going to let your young daughters swim nude on a beach, you need to at least be keeping a close eye on them. At least be cognizant of the fact that there just might be some pervert enjoying the view. For him to go swimming and leave the kids there was just careless. How did he know that you weren't some child predator? Or one might come by and snatch them while he was enjoying his swim? Not to mention them wandering off and drowning. The nudity of the children doesn't concern me as much as the carelessness of the father.

I think it is a great experience for the kids and it is a shame there are so many perverts out there . . .so mixed feelings. He never should have left them for one instant, though.

That would definitely bother me. I wouldn't dream of having my daughter naked on the beach.

I can't even imagine a parent having their children nude in public. I don't care how old they were. I'm sure there were some pedophiles on that beach snapping away and those girls' photos are now on some pedophile website.

Leaving them alone while he went in the water was insane. It takes a second for something to happen --- they could have tried following him into the water or someone could have taken them.

Did you say anything to this moron??? I know I would have. I also would have contacted the police about him having nude children on a public beach.
