You have probably seen them running amuck at the grocery store, or possibly even squirting you with a <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/letter-from-the-editor-help-put-an-end-to-high-powered-squirt-guns-at-stapleton-pools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">squirt gun<\/a> at the pool without your consent.  These kids play at the many Stapleton <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/pocket-park-rules-simplified\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pocket parks<\/a>, and are typically the ones running over the little kids at <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/stapleton-security-to-ticket-children-using-playground-equipment-out-of-age-range\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">parks for which they are too old<\/a>.  The Stapleton MCA security has finally figured out a way to deal with these unruly children.\n<!--more-->\n\u201cWe obviously can\u2019t simply kick these families and kids out of Stapleton,\u201d says MCA President Liza Kampstra.  \u201cBut, what we realized we could do is isolate them, the same as a <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/art-outside-jail-makes-residents-forget-jail-exists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">jail<\/a> would.\u201d  The MCA has decided to have the <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/26th-ave-park-to-be-named-sidewalk-park\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">26th Ave. Park<\/a> dedicated to the play of disobedient children.  \u201cMany parents know if they have kids who are hard to deal with,\u201d said Kampstra.  \u201cThey will probably tell their kids to play there.  Some kids won\u2019t go there voluntarily, but they will end up being taken there by the <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/stapletons-crossfit-women-join-together-to-create-stapleton-security-force\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stapleton Security team<\/a>.\u201d\nKampstra says kids will receive two warnings for playground misconduct at other pocket parks, and then will be restricted to what is being called the \u201cDetention Play Area.\u201d  The play area has plenty of fun equipment for the kids to play on, but will also feature a six foot high security wall with an electric fence (not enough to kill).  There will also be state of the art security cameras which will monitor the kids every move, and be used in disputes between kids.  Kids are welcome to come and go as they please, but must go directly home and avoid passing any other <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/stapleton-pocket-parks-to-set-up-triage-centers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pocket parks<\/a>.  \u201cIt\u2019s really going to be a great way to get the bad kids out of the pocket parks,\u201d said Kampstra.  \u201cHeck, even prisons and jails have a yard, so these kids at least deserve that.\u201d  Kampstra expects the Detention Play Area to be open by the beginning of July.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[143],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-4769","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-81","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4769"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4769\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
