I think not.

Whilst I realise that it is now emerging that paedophila is much more widespread than was ever imagined and it is appropriate to think about any actions that could be innocently inappropriate or misconstrued, I think that it is also harmful to children not to have any physical contact or affection from other human beings.

Hilary Duff has been criticised for kissing her son on the lips:

This does raise some interesting questions eg does it matter if it is a child of the same or opposite sex?

It was the second article that was discussed earlier today on This Morning:

Actress Cathy Bussey argued that there is nothing wrong with this practice, whilst journalist Angela Epstein argued that doing this could smack of something more sinister.
