I think taking photos of others is a very personal thing and I know if someone that I didn't know tried to take a photo of me or my children I would go absoloutely mad - too many people out there that you need to be protected from and I feel this is wrong.
Only my opinion though.
On the other hand I was on the beach in Spain and wanted some general beach shots till some guy came up to me and asks " are you taking pictures of my birds t*ts?" with so many topless women on the beach, and the fact that I am female I hadn't even noticed I tried to point out that due to the close proximity of people on a Spanish beach in peak season that it was inevitable but he was unimpressed and told me where to go, and not very politely either.
So whatever you do, photography does offend, smile and ask, use a sneaky long lens, each situation has to be decided at the time I think.
