> A park is in public view. > A library is in public view.

And yet heinous acts of abuse/violence/etc have occurred in both.

By your logic, we should pave all the parks and burn down the libraries.

How many sex crimes are reported in your local park? Hundreds of thousands were reported to Omegle.
Hundreds of thousands? Do you have a link?
Depends on the park. Some are known for it. Parents know to keep their kids away from those parks. For that reason, it’s better to have one really cruisy park that everyone knows about and can easily avoid but which also acts to contain the pervs. Maybe Omegle closing will just make the predators harder to spot and keep away from?
You've got an axe to grind don't you? Does it really not seem obvious to you that the damage of a single sexual harassment in a park outweighs any number of online interactions?
