Having kids I will photograph kids when mine are also around although they
may or may not be the main subject.  There is nothing ethical or unethical
about taking someones photograph.  However, the means, methods, and intent
to use images in unethical ways has somehow been reified in the
imaginations of many people.  Although one is hard pressed to find actual
examples of unethical use of common street photography, and if asked, most
people really can't give examples, none the less a real fear exists.
Perhaps a camera is an easy target, where people feel they are taking
control over some of the 24/7 surveillance we all suspect is abusing us.
