      Assuming it's the same user, which I think it probably is given that they had the same exact hangup about jokes ten years ago, here's one of their last comments:

      I'm just writing to tell you I don't think there was anything wrong with what you did. Telling teenagers they can't have sex is one of the more absurd things about modern society. Many 15 and 16 is legal in many countries, for good reason: because most 15 and 16 year olds are mature enough to be able to decide what to do with their own bodies. 100 years ago people had families by the time they were 14. The idiots downvoting you live in a magical world where people are suddenly mature only when the law tells them they are.

      edit: from another comment-

      Furthermore, the way men are treated if they so much as dare look at a child, let alone take pictures of them, talk to them, or decide to become school teachers [heaven help them] is quite frankly offensive.

      oi

          Some people want to go back in time and kill Baby Hitler. I want to go back in time and ask this goober why he's taking photos of children that presumably aren't his.

        There's a book called "The Gift of Fear" that likely explains in detail why he in particular gets suspicious looks from parents while being around children.

        I work with kids all the time and I've never had that problem. I've dealt with parents pissed at me for a number of reasons, but chances are if a parent thinks a person is creepy, it's because of subtle but often quite accurate red flags that their intuition picks up.

          either that or unexamined bigotry, but this dude is clearly a fucking psycho. I agree with you, btw, I’m just grumpy & drunk

          Before talking to them. I think that implies he's taking photos of other people's kids from a distance.
