Our daughter was a tour guide and there were several instances of she being asked really inappropriate personal questions.
Much of that had to do with the pressure these parents felt to attempt to provide every advantage to their child that they could.
Not excusable in any way, understandable and a bit sad though.
My wife and I probably went on three or four tours our daughter had led in her time at school. We would be visiting her while she had tour commitments and we would want to see her in action. Really just an excuse for us to spend more time with her.
