Background

It shouldn’t matter if it’s in a shopping centre in a park or on the bus please make it a criminal offence to take direct pictures of other people’s children without consent.

Additional details

If they are standing in a public place, anyone can have the right to take the pictures of your children, even in your own back garden. We think it’s disgusting and it’s wrong and could help to protect predators. Let's start protecting every child instead.
