My sister in law has posted lots of family photos on her social network page there are quite a few of our children which I only found out about after my friend told me. I have made my feelings clear to my relatives and friends that I do not want my childrens' photos published and I am quite annoyed she has done this. I have asked her to remove them but they are still on can I contact the site and ask them to be removed? My husband agrees with me but doesn't want to cause a fuss as it is his sister!
Unless your Sister has her Facebook set up so that its open for everyone to see, which is highly unlikely given the amount of facebook warnings sent around on that site, or the DCS are naked, then I'm sorry but IMHO you are being a bit overly precious.
& unless the photo content is dubious, then its highly unlikely Facebook will do anything if you do contact them, I'm pretty sure the photographer owns the photo rights anyway ( may be different with Kids, but I doubt it ) so unless you have her signature on something promising they won't be used in anyway, I doubt you have a leg to stand on

Ask her to make sure that they are kept as private as possible (friends only) I have hundreds oh photos of my DS, people must be sick of the sight of him!!!

You don't have any right to ask the site to remove them. The photographer owns the copyright.
I've asked my friend recently to stop posting photos of my dd as she has 3000 Facebook friends most of whom she hardly knows never mind me!

I don't think there's much you can do except ask her to take them down over and over 
I feel for you as I have just had my first and I have been really clear with everyone since pregnancy that I don't want pictures of my baby plastered all over the Internet and yet my family keep doing it 
other than stopping them taking pictures and repeatedly asking them not to post them there is very little you can do.

On Facebook there is a page where you can report and get taken down any pictures of your children you don't want on there. Least there used to be.
is it facebook? send her a message on her wall saying 'hi there, not sure if you remember me asking but could you take down the pictures of the kids please, ta' ... that should do the trick.
unless you're not a facebook user?
Can I ask why you want them down? I honestly don't get it and never have. What's the big deal?

Whatever the rights or wrongs are, my big issue with this is that your SIL has not respected your wishes on this! My baby is one week old and we told everyone we are very happy to share photos for them to view via email but we are not putting any on my FB page. Everyone has respected our wishes on this... and I couldn't care less if people think I'm being PFB, we are her parents and we don't want photos of her on social networking sites, end of!
