I've been a parent for 27 years.Not once have I ever objected to anyone taking photos of my children as I did not view it as being perverted.Should I have done?And why should I have done?The actual act of taking a photo of a child is not in it's self perverted.

Of course it is what those photos might be used for that worries I suppose but then we could prevent people from doing all sorts of everyday things because of what could potentially happen.We could stop people driving because there maybe an accident.We could stop people sky diving because they might die.

It's about where you draw the line.Personally I think it should be when someone tries to photograph your teenage daughter when naked NOT when they are out and about in a crowd at the shopping centre or at the playground.
