At the local youth league, we kept a book at the complex of mug shots of RSOs that was provided to us. There was a couple of occasions when we reported when we saw one of them at the complex. Granted it was a small town and park.
Yep, and checking every single person that walks through the gate might prevent something as well. Think any parent or park worker might have something hidden in their past?

I'm not a Republican, but their rationale on gun laws (or lack thereof) seems apropos here: A motivated crazy person is going to do something crazy, regardless of the laws or protections in place to stop them.

Stranger (i.e. non parental/guardian or caretaker) assault of child is extremely uncommon.
