To me, befriending and photographing unrelated children, unsupervised, (especially by an adult in authority that intentionally grooms them), has a real proven slight risk of improper motive, creepy behavior and worse. By contrast, it's pretty certain that taking pictures of children of strangers, (neither of which one would ever meet again), seems totally different. Are we to be intimidated from taking pics of kids we see in the streets, just because someone was arrested because that person with the camera was also behaving in a way that parents felt was "creepy)!
So what do street and causal photographer's do? Ignore children and just choose adults or buildings or birds flying by? Under what conditions do you photograph other folk's children where you do not already know them? How is anyone protected?
