I mind!
I have been stalked and so avoid social media. I have very normal friends that openly admit to facebook stalking. Normal people with normal lives. What on earth would less balanced people be up to given that?
Also, more importantly, I have a very close friend who's ex was physically and mentally abusing her and the children. A little over a year ago we dropped our children off at school, and went back to her's and packed up what she could carry. It was terrifying, even though he was at work, thinking he could just walk through the door and what would happen if he did. The heartbreak of having to leave things that she will never get back, the baby photos, pictures her kids had made, gifts that her mother had given her. But all she had room for were clothes and essentials.
That day she was put on a train to start a new life in a little room, in a town, where she knew no one, at the others side of the country, at a women's refuge. She followed all of the refuges advice about staying anonymous. Less than two months later he had found them! They had to move again. In just over a year they have had to move three further times. Each time the children are pulled out of school at no notice, the few bits that they have aquired are left again, because she can only take what she can carry on a train and then the children are out of school for weeks on end until a new place can be found.
There are families like this up and down the country, but how would you know unless you were on a need to know basis? My friend is not going to stand up and say, please don't put my kids on social media becuase my ex is a dangerous psychopath. So all she can do is trust that the rest of us will stop thinking about ourselves and our own lime light and follow the guidelines.
Anyone in a child related profession, who cannot grasp this, needs to be removed from that roll.
