Does anyone know if KaBOOM or any other groups are working to tighten up the laws on playground vandalism? In my district yesterday, a preschool playground was burned. When I mentioned it to a mom of one of the students, she was very upset obviously and she said "you know, that's a HATE crime!", and I thought, in a way, she's right... vandalism is one thing, but when you specifically destroy a playground, you know the impact you are having on the children that use it, particularly when it is at a school, and so I thought it would be worth a discussion here--what can we do to have our state legislators give stiffer penalties for this crime... I wonder if putting up signs posting the penalty on the fences near these playgrounds would have any effect at deterring vandalism? Any experiences/ideas??
