Parents shocked to discover QR code at park beside school leads to porn site

The retail provider of an outdoor gym beside an Edmonton elementary school is coming under fire after their QR code led at least one parent to a pornographic website. While her kids played nearby, Kathy Meyer was hoping to learn more about how to use the outdoor gym located next to Edmonton's St. Martha Catholic Elementary School. A sign at the park provided a few photos and instructions on how to use the equipment, along with a QR code. The use of QR codes has become increasingly common for businesses. The code -- a small combination of black and white squares -- acts as a barcode that can be scanned using the camera of a mobile device, often linking to the company's website or social media profile.
