Protecting child's right to privacy

9 replies

Molly2008 · 25/04/2018 10:51

My EXH's new partner has posted a live picture of our children on her public social media platform in which she openly identifies them using their first names.

I have politely asked their dad to tell her not to do this and to take the post down. He has said he will speak with her.

Now the post is still there for the whole world to see. So AIBU?? What do I do now?

Sadly there isn't anything you can do.

As long as it's not illegal, your ex and his partner can do what they want.

You're being unreasonable.

There's nothing you can do as her posting is not illegal.

What exactly is your issue and do you know what a right to privacy means? We have the right to respect for your family and private life, your home and your correspondence.

Facebook photos are nothing to do with this.

I don't think you can do anything at all.

They are your ex DH's children too and presumably he is fine with it.

Why does it bother you?

I'd speak to both ur ex and his partner. It doesn't matter whether it's not illegal or why u have a problem with it, this is ur preference for ur children and should be respected. If ur ex has told u he will respect this then he should be doing so. If he doesn't agree then he can speak to u about it.

I would go mental

Is there a reason you don't want their photos on FB? ie are they at a particular risk from having photos on social media? Faces aren't private. Strangers see your children's' faces all the time.

Wouldn't bother me in the least

Perhaps IABU as if he's given his consent who am I to veto.

My main concern is it's her business Accounts not her personal ones these are available for the general public to see. And she has specifically named them by name.

Haven't read through the thread so sorry if repeating.

But you can report and fb will remove as they photos of minors, your are their parent and have not given permission.

I know as my brother put photos of my children on (didn't include names) but he mixes with unsavoury types and I asked to remove, he didn't so fb did.

I would also message her and request she takes them down, but definitely report to fb.
