There have been a few cases of hysteria in this kind of regard in the UK in
recent years. One television newsreader and her husband found themselves
being investigated by police after a high-street photo-developer reported
them over perfectly innocuous photos of their children taking a bath.
I don't remember any guidelines per se, but then I'm not a father so I may
just have ignored them. I certainly wouldn't put it past British
governments to introduce such guidelines.
