One more general parenting tip that I got from the book "Protecting the gift"
I've trained my son that if he gets lost to head straight for the first mommy or sister and ask for help. 99% of all weirdos and creeps are guys. They'll pretend to be a manager, police officer or just offer to help. If he just randomly walks up to a female and asks for help he's much more likely to be safe.
In fact, in most situations it's far better to seek someone out then to look vulnerable and wait for "help" to come to you.
Both this advice and the picture taking are a bit paranoid, but if it helps make you feel calmer as a parent then go ahead and do it.
