I'm a mid-twenties, married guy, living in a nice neighborhood with a lot of kids and about two blocks from an elementary school. Our mailbox is a little bit down the street from our house and I like to take my dogs for a little walk to get the mail.

One day, I was walking my dog, he was still a little puppy, and a little girl was playing in her front yard with her dog. I was walking by with my puppy, she was all "puppy!" so I stopped to let her pet my dog. Her mom came running out and brought her inside like I was a child molester, didn't say a word to me, just came out and got her daughter and rushed back inside. We're practically neighbors. I was walking back to my house with my mail in my hand.

Okay, you felt offended. Understandable. The mom's reaction is also 100% understandable and fine. DUCY?

This COMPLETELY blows my mind. I have never heard of anything similar here in The Netherlands. Sounds very paranoid and irrational.

I also don't get why many people in the US apparently believe that if a child catches one glimpse of another naked human being they will be screwed up for life.

Yea I've always wondered why if there is any nudity in a film it's automatically rated R (at least), but there are loads of PG-13 movies that show bodies being gunned down like it's running out of style. I think it's an American thing because AFAIK it's the opposite in most other countries.
