My 6 year old neighbor was out on the sidewalk without clothes a few days ago
after he got cold in the pool and the wet clothing made him colder. Am I
liable for prosecution since I was there?
In Italy little children are expected to swim without clothing, and their
mothers dress on the beach.

I think the best rule of thumb is to avoid being much nuder or much less nude
than everyone else. If I decide to stroll naked through downtown Manhattan,
I'm going to make myself pretty conspicuous, and I could wind up attracting
all sorts of unpleasant attention. If I go naked at a nudist gathering, I'm
actually gonna be making myself less conspicuous.
In a country where nudity is the norm for small kids, letting your kid go
naked is probably perfectly safe. In a country where even little kids are
expected to be fully clothed, it might be more dangerous.

this is true. i actually saw it once, though not in manhattan, but just over
the bridge in williamsburg, brooklyn. woman was just walking down the street
naked. later the police were cruising around trying to find her. no biggie
really, just bizarre.

here in nyc, nobody pays any attention to anyone else. one could be
walking nude down the street, and nobody would pay it any mind. until
some cop comes along who feels like writing out a ticket. you see
enough bizarre stuff living in the big city that after a while you
become de-sensitized and very little shocks you. I once saw a couple
in central park, pretty clearly having sex, and people jogging right
past them not even noticing or caring.

Someone should probably change the MOTD, according to which this is the
GrexWalk item. . . . .

re 36:
I fixed the MOTD for this week, but there's probably some automated
process that needs to be fixed for the long term. I sent mail to staff asking
them to do a long term fix.

As I recall, a New York State judge ruled some time ago that display of a
nude female torso was not indecent exposure and not a crime. In other
words, if men could legally be shirtless, it was a violation of equal
protection to prosecute women for it.
I saw a partly nude man in a crowded subway station (Lexington Avenue
line) in NYC a few years back. I would guess he was somewhat disturbed.
A few minutes later, I saw him being led away by police.

Re #40: I don't know about New York, but I think that was ruled to be
the case in Ontario.

To judge by cultures where substantial clothing isn't usually worn
(generally primitive tribal), nudity isn't much of a turn-on to folks
who generally go naked when they have a choice. From nudists i've
talked to, it sounds like expressing a "nudity means sex" attitude is
a quick way to get marked as "a creep or loser who needs to be thrown
out".
This still leaves the issue of protecting the kids from sickos trying
to sneak in past the guards. But since the politician is a southern
conservative, there's an easy answer - let the kids pack heat and
teach 'em to use it. NRA'll cover the cost - think of the publicity
when Amy (age 8) offs a creep who broke in and "was trying to fondle
little Billy" (age 4)!
