When my parents first visited Turkey they were absolutely shocked to see men picking up the girls and giving them a hug - I also recall the girls steering the water taxi and my mum almost choking on her false teeth when the Captain playfully smacked on of the kids on the bottom as they sailed across the bay. Or the time one jumped onto a complete stranger's lap to sit on a crowded dolmus.
It has gone way too far in the UK - we all know there are bad people out there but we should look out for them, not prevent the other 99% (or whatever the figure might be) from engaging in things paedophiles might involve themselves in to get close to children.
One of the greatest gifts Turkey gave us was the ability for our kids to have a rounded, loving early childhood. I don't believe it is, or will be possible in the UK in future.
