99% of the time I don't give a damn. But if I don't want you snapping shots? Have some common courtesy. This isn't a fear of others it is plea for politeness. If I ask you to not take my picture... don't do it.
If you are going to be obstinant, so will I.
As for teaching our kids how to fear strangers... I agree, it is a fine line.
As for "being demonstrated by this thread"... I am the only one here raising this as an issue. I think this is hardly a big issue statistically speaking. And when you actually boil down what I am saying, it has everything to do with courtesy and little to do with fear.

If you are in public, and if the picture is not for commercial use, taking photographs are fair game. No release required, photographer can take all the pictures he wants.
Parent has no right to stop photographer from taking pictures, has no right to harass photographer, nor assualt him or confiscate his equipment.
Parent doesn't like it. Parent should leave.
Funny thing about being in public, things happen that are beyond your control.
