Do I need consent to shoot children in public area ?

AAC

I love to shoot people in various public events (parade, festival, PNE....etc).  Do I need parents' consent when shooting children (little kids) in public area for non-commercial use ?  Or can I upload these picture in public photography forum ?

AAC

Thanks for all advice.
It's difficult to talk to their parents when I found some cute kids playing around.  By the time when I get conscent, the moment gone.  Is there a law to protect children (under ? age) to publish their picture, something like TV news always cover their faces ?
How about shooting adults or teenagers in public area ?  I don't need to do anything ?

No ...  and make sure you don't pose kid picture if you don't have permission!

You could be in deep ...

Is it OK to post to LYK or Picasa to share with friends online ?
