Ironically, recently, I had a dancer who stopped in the middle of a social dance (tango), walked to me across the floor (to the edge of the dance floor), and asked not to take any more pictures of her. (This happened after I had taken a few within the previous couple minutes.) I was surprised by the way it was done, but stopped taking her photos. When I posted the photos I took (including the photos of that person taken prior to this request), - she contacted me asking if she can get some prints. She also apologized for her reaction explaining it by the fact that she did not like photos of her that other people had taken before. After she's got her prints from me, she came to me at the next dance event and told me that in the future, I may take as many photos of her as I want.
I like that story :-)
Now, with the children, I understand that the situation can be a bit more sensitive. Being a father of a little girl, I understand why parents can be [over]protective. But I think a lot of present paranoia is due to the media. I don't think that in general people's behavior has drastically changed recently, but rather people became more aware of what happens. So, when I get to photograph other children, I often ask the parents if they mind that. But then sometimes it's just not practical, say as in this case: http://42graphy.org/tango/denvermem-2010/_IR_8543.html
Well in this case (above) you'd be safe because you can't see their full faces
