For me as a photographer and a parent, I wouldn't just go to a park or anywhere and take photos of kids without seeking permission.
Whilst the law isn't being broken by taking random shots, it is certainly not worth the hassle. Because, me, being a parent would probably go mental at a random stranger taking photos of my kids without my permission.
If I want photos of my kids, I'll either do them myself or get someone to do them who I have asked.
I am a wedding and portrait photographer and have never had an issue at a wedding nor do I expect any issues anywhere as I play by the social rules. If you get asked to delete the images, do it, if approached by a disgruntled parent, show them the images, give them a business card, apologise and be polite.
The law is on our side as well as theirs. As long as the game is played and we as photographers remain professional (even amateurs can be professional), there won't be any stigmas attached.
However, ask why you would want to take photos of kids, and if you feel in anyway you might get in trouble for doing so, you probably shouldn't be doing it.
