Does taking photos of your own kid in a shopping mall make you a paedophile?

by Whaleoil on February 26, 2010

Of course not, except for one shopping mall in the UK, which thankfully we now know because of an officious security guard and an equally officious constable that the mall is a hot bed of activity for paedophiles.

Mall Guard accuses man of being a paedoAccording to his blog, Kevin visited the Bridges Shopping Centre in Sunderland with his son to spend the £10 his father gave the boy on a family visit. While there, he seated his son on a coin-operated train ride and snapped a photo of him with his cameraphone. At this point, a Bridges security guard came by and ordered him to stop taking pictures. He said that it was mall policy, and implied that Kevin was taking pictures because he was a paedophile. Kevin told him that this was ridiculous and took his son to find his wife and get out of the mall. He also took a picture of the security guard “so that if I later wanted to make a complaint to the centre I would be able to identify him.”

Outside of the mall, Kevin was stopped by a police constable who had received a complaint from mall security that a suspicious potential paedophile had been taking pictures on its premises. The PC threatened to arrest Kevin “for creating a public disturbance” and ordered him to delete the photo of his son. The PC also averred that the Bridges Shopping Centre is a hotbed of paedophile assaults.

Between the cop and the guard that mall is probably suffering a massive deline in patronage. How long before this kind of crap arrives here?

    This is why so many of English friends are trying to emigrate from the UK, Tony Blair and Co. have created a society that is so over regulated and controlled it beggars belief…

    We are very lucky here in NZ, that we stopped the last Labour Gov’t before they could emulate his Blairness !!

    Hey, easy on those labels!

    It is awful. There are millions of men all over the world who love their children to death and would never hurt them. Versus a few perverts. They need to mind their own goddamn business. I hope the mall dies and becomes a ghostmall.

    Actually there are more likely to be stalkers of lone women shopping. I have noticed this

    I see this as confirmation of my long-held suspicion that the PC fraternity possess filthy minds. I hope this incident wrecks the viability of the Mall concerned.

    This could be because Sunderland have not won a soccer match since about November. The Stadium of Light is the only bright spot in that dismal provincial city.
    How things change. In the nineteenth century it was a prosperous area with shipbuilding and colleries. Now it is depressing.

    When I was a High School teacher at the tender age of 23 I remember a much older female teacher in my department who stated that ALL men were potential rapists.She was unmarried, an extreme feminist and likely to remain unmarried as she had no man in her life.I had been talking about how I liked a man who acted like a big kid with children and was able to play with them. I had observed this trait in my boyfriend ( WO ) and thought that it was great. Her lip curled and so I was motivated to continue in that vein because I was pissed off at her negative attitude. I said that when I married I wanted a hands on father to my children who could share the joys of bathing them, changing them etc. She told me that I would be a fool to put my children at risk in that way. I replied that if I trusted him and loved him enough to marry him of course I would trust him with our children. If I was unable to trust him then I should not be marrying him. She called me a naive fool.I think it is sad that life passed her by because of her inability to trust. She was not gay and wanted a man in her life but was incapable of treating them as a friend.

    Its already here, …………I’ve been asked to not to use my camera at the public pool at Whakatane when I was taking pictures of my kids. True story and that was about 4 -5 years ago.
