Tiggytape and others , who are having a go at ME and others about not being able to take photos.
I totally disagree with you.
And I have every sympathy with a child who is in danger, or adopted, or for whatever reasons may not be able to have their photo taken.
BUT, they are going to come across that a lot. Presumably?
More and more these days. In all sorts of circumstances.Every church fete, every fair, every , photos taken everywhere.
So, some step parents, as one said earlier on this thread, may not be able to take this said child to the summer fete etc.
And that is a real shame. I have every sympathy.
BUT, it doesn't mean other children can't go to the fete. Have thier photo taken.
Photos have been taken for years at schools. nativity's and end of year class photos.
I have never put these on facebook. I understand that danger.
But I don't see why the other children shouldn't be able to have their photo taken, on what is quite a normal exercise.
Many people have their childlren's photos taken at birth, or with santa. they are in the paper.
Ours school does a reception photo, within the first few weeks, of all the reception children, in all the local schools, in the paper.
So these particular children, would not have been able to be included in that, would they?
But it is the norm. Has been for years. So why derive the other children of it?
So these children already know that they aren't included in photos? pre the nativity, right? so presumably the parents of the endangered children/ adopted child have already HAD to have this difficult conversation?
