Tickling kids gets lawyer banned from park by judg

A judge on Friday banned a local attorney from a Glen Carbon park after police charged the man with asking people whether he could tickle their children.

Glen Carbon Police charged Charles R. Douglas, who has a law practice in Glen Carbon, with four misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct. He is accused of talking to people at Miner Park about wanting to tickle children.

Douglas, 58, told a reporter that for years he has done a "tickle monster" routine with children and that it's "a joking thing that I do." He said he enjoys seeing children laugh and smile, and never touches a child without permission from a parent.

Douglas said the charges are "the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen." He said he's considering lawsuits against the police and against the people who made reports to police.

After the charges were filed, Madison County Associate Judge Steve Stobbs ordered that Douglas not enter Miner Park. Douglas said he goes to the park to walk, for exercise.

Douglas said he was booked Friday and released with a notice to appear in court later.
