Really... How likely do you think that is?
Derek mentioned it in post #16, I'm responding to it.

A few years back there was a story where a guy was in a cafe in Dublin with his one year old child in a pushchair. He turned around for a second and when he looked back some Fillipino bloke was standing in front of the kid taking pictures of her. The father grabbed the Fillipino and asked in no uncertain terms what he was up to, to which he replied "I like, I like".

Apparently in some Fillipino cultures taking unsolicited pictures of other peoples' kids is perfectly acceptable. I've no idea what happened to that guy but I find it very worrying.
