UK School Forbids Parents From Taking Pics of Kids

Posted by samzenpus on Tuesday June 23, 2009 @06:18AM from the think-of-the-photogenic-children dept.

tonywong writes "Mrs Ethelston's Church of England Primary School, in Uplyme, Devon, prohibited parents photographing their own children during a school event, claiming it was due to changes in child protection and images legislation. This may be harsh but not as bizarre as another UK school attempting to cover up photos of all the students with smiley faces last year. Perhaps the UK has more bogeymen per square kilometer (kilometre if you're a non USian) than the rest of the world, or is the UK on the leading edge of things-to-come?"

FYI: To us USians, it's neither square kilometer nor square kilometre. It's square mile.

Clearly, what's required is some form of child sized burka which all children would be required to wear. School yards would be filled with hundreds of cute little jawas.
