Their route included State Street, a popular pedestrian road that connects to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. But it also included a couple of loops around Capitol Square, where every Saturday during the summer, locals, including families and young children, gather for the busy farmer\u2019s market.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Unsuspecting little market-goers weren\u2019t the only kids affected by the ride, however: Eye-witnesses immediately began reporting seeing a naked child participating in the event.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cGenuine question here (at risk of being accused of parent shaming, I have genuine confusion). Are children allowed to participate??\u201d a Redditor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/madisonwi\/comments\/14br5ph\/psa_naked_bikers_out_today\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">asked<\/a> on the Madison subreddit. \u201cMy friend said they think they saw a child participating and that was\u2026 surprising to hear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah I saw a naked kid near the front of the group when they were biking around the square, probably under 10 years old,\u201d replied another. \u201cThat was weird. I assume one or both of her parents were also participating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While self-styled Madison progressives cheer the annual ride as \u201creally liberating,\u201d claiming \u201cNobody\u2019s looking\u201d at other people\u2019s bodies and, \u201cWe\u2019re just getting together and having fun\u201d (something most people can do without stripping), the ride raises serious concerns over child exploitation and indecent exposure \u2014 especially when kids aren\u2019t just observers but participants.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>On Thursday, Dane County Supervisor Jeff Weigand announced that he had filed a complaint with Madison Police and emailed Sheriff Kalvin Barrett to investigate the child\u2019s participation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cA concerned Dane County citizen sent me an e-mail and photograph alleging that a child was allowed to participate in Madison\u2019s Naked Bike Ride. The photograph provided shows what appears to be a child, surrounded by naked adults riding bicycles around the Wisconsin Capital,\u201d Weigand wrote in a press release. \u201cOur <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/georgia-secretary-of-state-investigating-voter-registration-group-run-by-democrat-raphael-warnock\/\" title=\"Georgia Secretary Of State Investigating Voter Registration Group Run By Democrat Raphael Warnock\">law enforcement officers<\/a> need to investigate this matter and enforce our laws.

Three other members abstained.<\/p>\n<p>Supervisor Patrick Downing said the resolution \u201cappears to condone allowing children to make life-altering irreversible decisions\u201d and asked the board to send it back to committee. However, Downing\u2019s motion failed when only he and Weigand voted in support.<\/p>\n<p>In March, the Sun Prairie Area School District allegedly <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/04\/24\/law-group-demands-answers-from-wisconsin-school-district-after-trans-identifying-male-student-showered-in-front-of-four-girls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">allowed<\/a> a man \u2014 an 18-year-old male who identified as transgender \u2014 to shower in front of four freshman girls. The man reportedly \u201cundressed fully and showered completely naked right next to one of the girls,\u201d and while he faced the wall at first, he \u201ceventually turned and fully exposed his male genitalia to the four girls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty filed an open-records request for relevant communications to get to the bottom of the alleged incident, the school district refused transparency by <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/05\/17\/wisconsin-school-district-charges-law-group-11k-for-records-over-a-trans-identifying-male-student-showering-in-front-of-four-girls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">charging $11,000<\/a> for the records.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is yet another example of why Dane County is not a safe place for Children.
