Not a parent. Myself, my godson and his father went to a childrens indoor play event yesterday, where kids could play with a bunch of toys together. I was about to take a short video of godson playing with a train, when another child wandered into the frame. I'm aware that most parent don't want their children photographed by strangers, so I didn't bother taking the shot, and put my phone away.

A couple of minutes later, a man - I presume the child's father - rather aggressively confronted me and demanded to know what the last photograph I'd taken was. I explained I actually hadn't taken any at all because another child wandered into the frame, and offered to let him check my phone. He declined and walked off muttering to himself. I've tried not to think about it, but it's eating away at me, the implication of what this man was saying. The event was a paid-for event, it's not like people could just wander in off the street, and I was very clearly there with another child, and that child's parent. I was far from alone in taking photographs, in fact the event organisers encourage this. I just want to know, I suppose, if this man's reaction was typical or justified in any way, because now I'm not really comfortable being around my own godchildren in public. It ruined the entire event for me, and put me a little on edge, hence the throwaway account.
