Attention
McFarland Residents!
Is one of your neighbors an accessory to child abuse? |

Sign at the entrance
of an Illinois state park. |
Darrell Bazzell lives at 5406 Valley Drive,
McFarland. Mr. Bazzell is the Secretary of the Department of Natural
Resources, which is the highest post in that state department. In spite of
holding that position since February, 2001, Mr. Bazzell has failed to put
an end to the open nudity which takes place on the DNR owned and operated
beach near Mazomanie on the Wisconsin River. Each weekend throughout the
spring, summer, and early fall, hundreds of adults cavort naked on that
tax-funded beach in full view of the public, including young people who
canoe and fish on the river. Even worse, each weekend, children of all
ages are taken to the beach, stripped naked, and viewed by the hundreds of
nude adults present - some of whom take cameras to the beach. (See reverse
side.)

"The tolerance of public nudity and sexual activity
has created and encouraged a perverse atmosphere. . . . In 1997, Dane
County Sheriff's Deputies responded to the Mazomanie Unit - Conservation
Drive - to investigate complaints of outstanding warrants, possession of
drugs and drug paraphernalia, public sexual activity, prostitution,
underage drinking, vandalism, domestic battery, and death
investigations."
Confidential Memo on Mazo Beach from
Conservation Warden Wayne Schutte to DNR official Ruthe Badger, March
26, 1998. Obtained in a Freedom of Information search by WCU. |
For several years, DNR officials have defended the Mazo beach nudists
by promulgating the myth that public nudity, in and of itself, is not
unlawful. Of course, everyone knows that is a lie and that persons
appearing naked in public anywhere but Mazo beach are instantly arrested.
Those who would argue to the contrary should try walking down the public
sidewalk in McFarland naked and see what happens. While it is true that
the Dane County district attorney has not been eager to prosecute the Mazo
nudists, if Mr. Bazzell would order DNR law enforcement officials under
him to arrest the nudists for lewd and lascivious conduct and insist that
the DA prosecute them, no doubt he would do so. However, Mr. Bazzell also
has many other tools which he could employ to put an end to the nudity at
Mazo beach. For instance, he could order his department to simply put up
"No Nudity" signs like other states have done in their parks.
Should persons disobey the signs, he could prosecute them under DNR
administrative law just as people are prosecuted for building campfires or
snowmobiling or fishing where it is not allowed.
"I believe the DNR could take an administrative act and could say, 'on this land owned by the state, nudity is not
allowed.'"
Dane County D.A. Brian Blanchard during a
February 13, 2001 interview on WISC Channel 3, Madison.
Mr. Bazzell could also order those who expose themselves on DNR
property to be prosecuted for disorderly conduct, either under state or
DNR administrative law. Mr. Bazzell could shut the beach down totally if
necessary.

“Therefore to
him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”
James 4:17 |
The truth is, Darrell Bazzell is without excuse
in his refusal to protect the children of Mazo beach, and by extension,
all the children of our state. No matter where people stand on a wide
range of issues, most agree that children have a right to a childhood;
they have a right to a time of innocence. Most people would agree that
parading children naked in the midst of hundreds of nude adults is cruel,
crude, inappropriate, unlawful, and dangerous. DNR Secretary Darrell
Bazzell has the authority to put an end to the disgusting, sick situation
at the Mazo nude beach; the question is, Why won't he do what is right?
Why won't he protect the children of Mazo beach, and by extension, all the
children of Wisconsin? Why will Mr. Bazzell not move to put an end to the
obscene behavior at Mazo beach before it spreads to other locations around
our state? By not doing his duty in this regard, Darrell Bazzell has
become an accessory to child abuse. It is our hope and prayer that he will
rethink his position and do what is right.

"The majority of the pedophile images that we
have, the majority of the child pornography that we get out of the United
States of America comes from nude beaches. They come, of course, from the
private nude beaches; because we haven't had that many people that
foolish, or that foolhardy, or that gutless to assign public space to such
activity [until now]. . . . The nudist colonies are the places where
pedophiles have forever not only been able to get sexual access to
children and to abuse children, but quite definitely, to take photographs
that become part of the pedophiles' bona fides and that are exchanged and
that are paid for throughout this country and sent to Europe and so forth.
And the pain that that causes those children . . . is, of course,
incalculable. . . . This [Mazo beach] is an attempt, of course, to
establish legally a place in the United States . . . a beachhead for child
sexual abuse. They're [the nudists are] establishing a beachhead for
obtaining children for sexual purposes - that is what this is all about .
. . it will spread all across the state; it will spread all across the
country." - Dr. Judith Reisman

The
Children of Mazo Beach
Some of the Children the DNR Refuses to Protect |
|
| |
August 28, 1999: A girl with her doll, in the arms of a
transvestite man headed for the nude beach.
|
|
May 29, 2000: A Christian man with WCU shares from
the Bible with two nudists headed for the nude beach with their child.
|
|
July 15, 2000: A couple with a toddler in a stroller and a young
girl on the way to the nude beach pass concerned Christians. Should little
girls such as this be put in the company of hundreds of nude men? The DNR
apparently sees no harm in it.
|
|
| |
July 15, 2000: A couple reacts angrily to
Christians imploring them to not take their precious little girl into the
midst of hundreds of nude adults on the Mazo Beach. |
|
September 3, 2001: A little girl returning from
Mazo beach. Why won't the DNR protect little ones such as this? Perhaps
someday, one of them will ask that question with a lawsuit after surviving
a childhood of abuse, some of it directly related to the Mazo nude beach
which the DNR continues to protect and maintain with tax dollars. |
|
July 14, 2001: Help me! A young boy on the back of a bike
on the way down the path to the nude beach. |
|
| |
August 11, 2001: When a Christian took this girl's
picture on the Mazo nude beach parking lot, the man with the woman holding
her sneered, "You can get a better picture in about twenty
minutes." How can DNR officials sleep at night? |
|
July 15, 2001: A couple with a small child
returning from the bare beach. |
|
June 16, 2001: A 12-year-old boy heading back home
from the nude beach hears about Jesus from a Christian on the Mazo beach
parking lot. This boy deserved a longer childhood. |
|
| |
August 11, 2001: A three-year-old boy loaded up
and waiting for the trip down the path to the DNR's beach-front brothel
near Mazomanie.
|
|
  July
14, 2001: A Christian woman begged the man with
the camera not to take this little girl to the DNR's beach. The DNR made
sure the girl made it. Warden John Glennon is in the truck in the
background. Wardens often escort the children of Mazo beach to their
wretched destination while warning Christians not to interfere with the
process. The second picture shows a little boy who was taken to the beach
by the same man. Both children told Christians present that the man is
neither their father nor grandfather. This information was passed on to
Warden Glennon, but he shrugged it off as usual.
