I find proselytizing offensive in any case, and freedom of religion notwithstanding, do they even have a right to approach children without a parent's consent? I' m assuming were talking underage kids. Handing out candy to proselytize to children? They're child predators. It's one thing to evangelize adults, and another very different thing to go after children.

If we push them out of the park they'll just go off elsewhere and ruin some indigenous culture instead.

I am more concerned by that crazy lady with the doll that harrass children at JJ Byrne (looks like she is trying to eat the children) then a bunch of Jesus freaks proselytizing to a bunch of kids who dont have a clue as to what they are talking about.

That being said - any stranger offers my Kid a candy at a playground I will likely break fingers 1st and ask questions later.

10:10- can you elaborate on the crazy doll lady? Who is that?

Kids in the city face a lot of dangers, we all know that but the dangers of proselytizers is that they aren't scary- they're sneaky and subtle and present a non-threatening face to a child who is in no position to understand the subtleties of being manipulated. frankly I think they should not be allowed in playgrounds or school yards- the same rules as child abusers. Sorry- but I think people who use children to further their own agendas are abusing them.
