Posting Pictures of Children on the Net


Dr. Laura - 

Thank you for your comments regarding posting pictures of children on the Internet. I do not put post pictures of my children online, nor do I even ask their permission since I'm the parent. Don't people realize there are sickos trolling for pictures which are innocent to most, but twisted for others?  I am thankful my parents did not have the ability in the 1970s to make public every phase and stage of my development with half the world. 

I contacted my school administrators last year, when I clicked through hundreds of first day of school pictures which were posted on our district's website. Children were wearing name tags in front of school buildings! That is an obvious breech of privacy and security to make public their name, face and school location. 

I am grateful to you for your support in so many ways. 

May
