Absolutely not.

Will the real safety issue please stand up? Which is more of a safety issue, children playing in traffic, or adults having to maneuver around a single parked van? I'm surprised that you feel that adults riding in traffic is more of a safety issue than children riding in traffic.
This is the kind of paradox you get when looking at everything strictly through the lens of bicycle advocacy.
BTW- I'm not in favor of Charlotte's law which is overly broad, and apparently selectively enforced. But if measuring laws strictly based on intent and safety, reporting children playing in the street makes more sense than making a big deal about having to ride around a parked van in in light traffic.
