I admit to not knowing what turns pedophiles on, but there's nothing
about those two photos that is at all salacious.

I agree, and that begs the question of why the security guard would
interfere in the first place.

Oh well! Here we go with the "begs the question debate" again.
Try "raises the question."

For an answer, you will probably find that the Mall management is more
concerned with liability issues regarding potential law suits. They
were thinking of their wallets before the fundamental right of a father
to take a snapshot of his son.
The rent-a-cop was just following the instructions he had been given to
stop photography. As an employee at the bottom rung of the wage ladder,
trying to keep a job. In his (peanut sized) brain he would probably
have little, to no wiggle room to make a sensible discretionary
decision to overcome his fear of being fired for violating corporate
policy.

They should have actually done a cost benefit study to see what it
might have cost them if they actually did have a team of paedophile,
terrorist, photographers working their Mall. Here they have lost the PR
war.

B-but there was a CHILD in it, that's enough! <sigh>

I still remember the BBC News story about photographers on a beach
having their camera confiscated "in case" they were photographing
children.

The news story was run against stock footage of children playing on a
beach . . .

Neighbours from hell don't get evicted because they have children and they
know it so there's no control on them ruining peoples lives. These children
have no incentive to perform and know they can get away with murder so
disrupt school classes with impunity. And so the cycle of low aspirations
and abuse continues. The system that's meant to drive progress and protect
society ends up encouraging the thing it's meant to stop.
