I think it really comes down to whether the fathers had any interest in getting their kids to fish, or if they used their children as an excuse to fish there. If they're fishing and the child is tossing dirt, or running around with other kids, in my humble opinion, these fathers should stop fishing. If the kid can't cast, reel, bait (etc) the rod, and the father is helping with that, I personally don't see anything wrong, as long as the child's interest is at heart. I have a 7 year old sister that I took to twin lakes last year. She had her little pink princess fishing pole with her, and though she tried a couple times, couldn't get the hang of casting, or really for that matter, reeling in. She eventually lost interest in holding the pole all together, and at the point, we packed hers up since I had 2 pole out already. It would have been easy enough for me to have hers out and catch fish with it, saying it was hers, but she didn't wanna do it any more, so she hit the playground with the other kids. On a side note, there are people out there that will stand up for the "Children Only" rules. I'm not gonna name names or places, but there's a private club that stocks a private pond for just that purpose, and God help anyone that fish there without the childrens' interest in mind.
