Kate HudsonKate Hudson has said she’d like to see a law introduced in the US to make it illegal to photograph pictures of celebrities’ with their children without prior consent.

Kate is often photographed out and about with her son Ryder and as the four year old grows up, she worries about how the constant attention will affect him: “It bothers me, it bothers my parents.”

“Ryder doesn’t know what that is. He’s four years old. It’s aggressive, it’s bizarre and it makes him self-conscious. And kids should always be kids, they should never be self-conscious of what they’re doing. That should be illegal.”

Calls have been made in California for paparazzi photographers to be licensed and restricted from congregating in certain places in large numbers after officials noticed the large amount of public money spent on protecting celebrities from the snappers, particularly Britney Spears during her recent hospitalisations.
