Why the concern for children?  This is probably the attitude that underlies
the whole mess in the first place.  If we didn't teach children that nudity
is something shameful they wouldn't grow up to be adults who  can't  handle
nudity.

The  clothing-optional  resort  I  frequent  welcomes   children.   They're
frequently  present,  both dressed and undressed.  No one there would dream
of molesting them and I can't see what other harm could come of it.
