Storm over a toddler's inconvenience uncalled for

A mainland couple visiting Hong Kong, finding a long queue at a public toilet, let their toddler relieve himself in public with the mother using a paper nappy to prevent any mess on the street.

A young local man tried to stop them while taking photos of the toddler from close-up. This led to a clash and the mainland couple ended up being arrested.

The mainland couple's behavior was not all appropriate, although a child might be excused when nature calls, but so too was the behavior of the local man in taking improper photos, although this was regrettably ignored by the police and commentators in Hong Kong, including some big media names.
