Father-of-three branded a 'pervert' - for photographing his own children
in public park
By David Wilkes
When Gary Crutchley started taking pictures of his children playing on an
inflatable slide he thought they would be happy reminders of a family day
out.
But the innocent snaps of seven-year-old Cory, and Miles, five, led to him
being called a ‘pervert’.
The woman running the slide at Wolverhampton Show asked him what he was
doing and other families waiting in the queue demanded that he stop.
One even accused him of photographing youngsters to put the pictures on
the internet.
Mr Crutchley, 39, who had taken pictures only of his own children, was so
enraged that he found two policemen who confirmed he had done nothing
wrong.
Yesterday he said: ‘What is the world coming to when anybody seen with a
camera is assumed to be doing things that they should not?
‘This parental paranoia is getting completely out of hand. I was so
shocked. One of the police officers told me that it was just the way
society is these days. He agreed with me that it was madness.’
Father-of-three Mr Crutchley, a consultant for a rubber manufacturer from
Walsall, West Midlands, was with his wife Tracey and their sons when the
pleasant Sunday afternoon out turned sour.
He said: ‘The children wanted to go on an inflatable slide and I started
taking photos of them having a good time. Moments later the woman running
the slide told me to stop.
‘When I asked why, she told me I could not take pictures of other
people’s children. I explained I was only interested in taking photos of
my own children and pointed out that this was taking place in a public
park.
‘I showed her the photos I had taken to prove my point. Then another
woman joined in and said her child was also on the slide and did not want
me taking pictures of the youngster.
‘I repeated that the only people being photographed were my own
children. She said I could be taking pictures of just any child to put on
the internet and called me a pervert. We immediately left the show.’
Mrs Crutchley, 37, a teaching sup****t assistant and qualified nursery
nurse, said: ‘I was shocked by the reaction of those women.
'It is very sad when every man with a camera enjoying a Sunday afternoon
out in the park with his children is automatically assumed to be a
pervert.’
The slide was run by Tracey Dukes, 35, whose father Malcolm Gwinnett has
an inflatables hire company.
Mr Gwinnett, 58, a LibDem councillor in Wolverhampton, said: ‘Our policy
is to ask people taking photos whether they have children on the slide. If
they do, then that is fine.
‘But on this occasion another customer took exception to what the man
was doing and an argument developed between those two people that
continued without any further involvement from staff on the slide.’
