Rising Star



Proud parents used to carry snapshots of kids in their wallets. No one does that anymore; instead, they post them online. I know you’re proud of your little ones. But the Internet is a vast and potentially scary place. It’s your job to keep your kids safe. Once a photo is out there, with or without privacy settings, it could end up in some pretty creepy hands. Please reconsider before you post a picture of your little darling in the bathtub, trying out that new potty, or dancing in nothing but a diaper. Online photos never go away. Your naked toddler is adorable today, but he might not appreciate it when he’s a teenager dealing with school bullies or filling out job applications. For safety’s sake, don’t share photos that show your child’s name or school. And before you upload pictures of his birthday party or soccer team, be sure to get permission from the other kids’ parents.
