FORT SMITH (KFSM)— The manager of Parrot Island Waterpark called police on Thursday (July 7) after a family reported a middle-aged man was taking pictures of several girls in their bathing suits, according to an incident report. The deputy prosecutor stated, “There’s no expectation of privacy at the waterpark,” and that’s why the man wasn’t arrested.

“There's no telling how many pictures of girls he's got,” Angela Person said. “Has he been out there previously? You know, that really bothers me, and I haven't been back to the waterpark since.”

Person is one of more than 4,000 people who shared a post on Facebook, warning parents of a man taking pictures of kids at Parrot Island. Person has 10 and 12 year old daughters herself.

“I think I'll be super aware of my surroundings the next time I go, if I go back this summer,” she said.

An officer reviewed the photos in the man’s phone and deleted them all, according to police. The incident report said none of the pictures were pornographic in nature.

“You go out to the water park in your swimsuit and somebody takes your picture, nothing anybody can do,” Cpl. Barbara Williams said. “It’s not against the law at this point.”

The owner of Parrot Island sent the following statement on behalf of the park’s management:

We thank the parents from July 7, for bringing a situation to our attention. The individual involved in this situation has had their season pass terminated and has been banned from the park. We quickly contacted the local law authorities so they could proceed with appropriate actions to ensure the safety of our guests. Safety and security is of the highest concern to us. We will continue to work hard at making sure the facility remains safe, fun and enjoyable. Should you have any questions or comments please contact the park management directly.

The woman who filed the police report declined to speak on camera, but gave 5NEWS this statement:

It is our jobs as parents to protect our children and any children in our care. DO NOT ever ignore something like this if you see it. You might save your own child's life and innocence as well as someone else's!

“As a parent, I wish there was a law, but you can`t enforce something if it`s not there and I know that as a police officer,” Cpl. Williams added.
