Hat-tip = sayh

Sadly, I can fully envision this sort of scenario happening in the USA too.

People *really* need to get a grip.

Whaaaat? Since when is it a crime for parents to preserve precious photographic memories of their children?

In defense of British laws, the police did side with him on the matter. It was the psycho Momzillas on-scene who raised a row. Sick, sick! Some of the Momzillas I've seen personally, I could see this happening.

I'm embarrassed for my country every time something like this comes up; we're not all irrational paranoid people. Some parents take fear to stupid levels, especially when you consider that most "perverts" are close family members/friends not Joe R stranger in the park. Yet often parents think nothing of leaving a kid with a family member or a friend.

Bleh, I bet that woman's children are too ugly to be attractive to pedos anyway. Up hers.

Maybe he shouldn't have been rubbing his crotch while snapping the pics!

Okay, but seriously, I think this is a fairly isolated case of two crazies. There's like several billon people in the world now, you'll find crazy of every flavor somewhere. Happily everyone else in the article is like "WTF people!"

I'm waiting for the day something like this happens to me, since I go a lot of places with my cubs but without the lioness (to give her a break at home). God alone knows how many people I've already alarmed ...

I have taken our kids everywhere without having these kinds of experiences. I hope it will stay that way...
