I'm sort of fascinated and horrified by the gordian knot society has tied around itself with child sexuality. The demonisation of the paedophile, but at the same time the sexualisation of children in so many other ways, etc.
There have been legal issues in Australia essentially seeking to prevent public photography of children, not just in casual play but in public events (sporting events, for example) essentially out of fear of the notional paedophile. Its very likely these days that if you wander round with a camera taking pictures of the public, you'll eventually by approached by the police.
