Patricia, I wouldn't be too burned up over the guy's concerns. I doubt most child molesters or human traffickers look like child molesters or human traffickers.
Is the guy worried about the wrong stuff? Sure. But most of us are fairly weak at risk assessment in our daily lives, as we fret over very low risk possibilities while overlooking real threats.
With a son who has requested we never post pictures of our grandsons on the Internet, I kind of get the guy's paranoia. I hate that I can't post cute pics of Corbin and Ethan here but I will continue to respect my son's wishes.

There was a person who posted on Nextdoor here in Loveland, that had a photo of a guy taking photos of kids from a shady spot while sitting on bench, and wearing a hoodie. That's the one to worry about and the person was alert to see him. I believe the police were called.

Patricia you are more patient than I. I would have told him to mind his own damn business. I'll take pictures of anything I want and I don't need to explain it or justify it to anyone.
Mike, sorry to hear of your son's paranoia. I would like to see your grandkids. As you've seen I post pictures of mine all the time but then again after hanging out here since 2001 I don't worry about people lurking in the Vintage sub-set of a 20+ year old car site.
Youngest grand daughter competed in her first tournament. She broke her board in 3 pieces and tied for first and came in third with sword sparring.

I think people are nuts with the worries. Between the boogie man at every corner and the germs waiting to take you down, it's just ridiculous to me. I should be dead and dust by now according to all the paranoia about germs lurking in your sponge and feces jumping out of a flushed toilet when the lid isn't down.
I love to see pictures of your grand kids and of Sue's grandkids!

Patty- You can do some searching, there's a general photographer's rights act out there. You're in a public space, shooting non-specific public photos. You have the right to do so.
Mike- Antelope Canyon was spectacular when we were there in 2009. The colors that come off the sun/rocks is awesome.
