Some Caregivers should look in the mirror to find the responsible party

I see a lawsuit coming. Well, it would have been a lawsuit, if the park was privately owned (since you normally cannot sue the government).

Some children are suffering severe burns while playing in city parks in New York City. Mind you, it is the middle of summer, and New York is currently experiencing an official heat wave. And, unfortunately, the children are being looked after by people who who must have been raised at the North Pole. Because, the rest of us, who have tried to walk on blacktop, in the middle of summer, have learned that it is incredibly hot on the feet. But, these caregivers, allowed their children to take off their shoes, and walk on the blacktop, during a heatwave, barefoot. And now, they are screaming that the city that the mats should be replaced by “cooler materials”. One word - shoes.
