She said "This is a children's playground, not a hotel room. Have some respect for yourself young lady." and they left. I was so relieved she was brave enough! When I lived in UT my Bishop was the principal of the local high school and whenever I saw kids at the park making out during school hours, I would text him and he'd come get them busted.
