my sdd is 14 years old and i have just found out she has a bebo thingy with loads of photos of my dd nearly 2yrs old on there. I would like them taken off as i do not want dd photo for anyone to see. am i being unreasonable???

I would agree with you, I'd definitely want them removed, so, no you're not being unreasonable.

We've had issues with ds 13 also using family shots for bebo and have laid down strict rules now.
Not unreasonable at all, we have always told ds about net safety adn were appalled at how much info he had put out.
Soon changed that though.

I would completely 100% agree with you! - I posted something similiar to this a few months back. My bitch sil put photos of my baby girl on bebo and I was fuming!! in all fairness your sdd is only 14 so wouldnt know much better. I think you would have every right to have them taken off. I, personally have a thing about pictures of children on the internet - maybe im being ott protective but I just dont like it. hope your ok xx

pandagirl03 · 14/06/2007 22:05

oh im so glad you dont think im being unreasonable. I'm not 100% sure how this bebo thingy works. normally im quite good with the net etc. Im seriously not happy about dd photos being on there.

yanbu
DS is under strict instructions NOT to put dd's photo on.

i don't like pics of the boys online. i am even funny about who takes pictures and why (yes i am anal before you ask but i have good reason)

pandagirl03 · 14/06/2007 22:43

oh well what a surprise. dp has asked his dd to take them off and its caused a huge argument as usual. dd mum has now gone mad saying we should of gone thro her. why is everything so difficult.

YANBU - perhaps the best thing is to take her out for a coffee adn explain exactly why you don't want the piccies on the net. At 14 she should be able to understand about all that - it's always in the news.

Treat her like a grown up - and talk to her not DP or her mum. After all, she needs to know this stuff for her own safety too.

NBU at all.

zubb · 15/06/2007 15:40

Not being funny but why wouldn't any of you want photos on the net?

BrothelSprouts · 15/06/2007 15:48

YANBU.
I would feel exactly the same.
Although the internet feels anonymous sometimes, I think it makes sense to protect your identity - and parents have a responsibility to do that on behalf of their children.

zubb, some people just value their privacy more than others I think

There are pictures of my daughter online, but not on any of the networking sites.

I can see you wouldn't want name / address and phone number with the pictures, but if it's just the pictures on their own I'm not sure I get it.

PigeonPie · 16/06/2007 08:02

Zubb, for me it's what might be 'done' to the photos or who might look at them which I don't like.

pandagirl03 · 16/06/2007 09:25

zubb, mainly because you dont know who is looking at them etc. But sdd did also have dd's first name and sdd location. I will sit down with sdd and explain to her why i wanted them removed, but i have explained it to her before. Sdd mum said to me all she wanted was pictures of HER family on her bebo. I said to her that i didn't mind sdd having as many photos of dd as she wanted but did not want them putting on the internet.
