What a sad bloke. Seeing anything untoward in a naked child, whether Smurf or human, washing themselves isn't suggestive to most people - certainly not Europeans.

We unexpectedly ended up at the beach last weekend. Being unplanned we didn't have any swimming things, so our seven year old daughter just laughed, stripped off and ran in naked. Some of the kids on the beach were dressed - some weren't. No one seemed to care, which is how it should be.

Our son, at twelve, preferred to go find a cheap pair of shorts from a beach shop.

No trouble getting them to hold a pose for a long exposure, then?

Of course, kids can be nasty little thugs without the aid of sport - some have an innate talent for being viscious little buggers.
