Can we perhaps not lose sight of the point here: the photos in question were of the man's daughter and nobody else. Any suggestion from the ice cream stall staff that the man may have been some sort of pervert or terrorist are utterly bogus because:

1. Presumably someone at the stall took payment from the man for the ice cream, so they knew he was with the child
2. There is demonstrably nobody in the background in either of the pictures that have now been splashed liberally across the entire internet
3. Even if the idiots behind the counter of the ice cream stall failed to grasp all of this, any security guard capable of delivering any meaningful security should have had the wit and intelligence to establish these basic facts within seconds of his arrival on the scene.
