i am uncomfortable posting pictures of my young daughter on the net. Maybe the person who took the photo has good intentions but others do not.

this is the general feeling of parents in my part of tokyo also. We are not allowed to take photos on mobile phones in case it gets onto the internet at school events - this is a school rule.

other than that a foreigner taking photos of school girls may well end up in front of the police - we had an warning the other week of a man with a camera stalking schoolgirls.

this might be right or wrong and an unfortunate reality of out times but at least respect the culture of the country you are in.

Japan as well? I didn't think it did. I'm truly saddened. You can't even take photos of your own child because of fear you would accidentally include other people's kids. I understand the reasoning but it's still ridiculous.
