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.
