Not in my opinion. I am not spending time with the girls or boys. I am in the middle of a wide open ball field officiating a sporting event. And no, I'm not going to engage them in conversation or anything else off the field and I really don't are what the Chicken Littles think.

I am not touching under any circumstance. Nor am I talking to them other than to effect my duties as an umpire. And, BTW, I'm being observed by those responsible for the player's well-being and, as has been demonstrated in the past, more than willing to call the police in a heartbeat.

And it really doesn't make any difference, BI's only catch those who have already been caught.
