Photos of naked babies on Facebook would you report it?

[bubblegumunicorn]

Just want to see what other people think of this I've recently had three friends post pictures of their newborns and obviously they are proud new parents and want to share their baby but they have also included one of them totally naked and it makes me really uncomfortable mainly because you never know who is lurking online and these have all been people I don't know that well so I'd assume have a lot of other passing acquaintances as friends! I recently saw someone I used to work with prosecuted for paedophilia and that made me question this kind of thing even more as you don't really know what people are like in private! Would you report them to Facebook for posting these photos?

No

No

No. When my son was born I posted a photo of him in just a nappy (locked to friends only) and my exes family reported it as inappropriate content and got my Facebook banned

Honestly I don’t know I’ve never thought about it. Everyone I know, and this is being honest, if it’s a bath or changing photo, will scribble over the genital area to cover it, I assumed that’s just what everyone done🤷🏻‍♀️

No

If it’s set to friends only (and they don’t have 5000 friends) i wouldn’t.

If it is public I’d point out to them that anyone in the world can see, download and edit it and they may want to change settings to private.

No.

All this “What if”ery and “Just to be on the safe side” is what brings about ridiculous, over the top policies and stifles people from just getting on with, and enjoying their lives.

No

Yes I would if the relevant bits weren't scribbled over/covered up in some way.

No

Rather than being a snake and reporting it to Facebook why don't you speak to your friends?

Oh FFS!

Someone reported a photo I had on FB of my then toddler on his toy trike with a bare bum and FB deleted it.

They’re babies for crying out loud!

Yes.

I was part of a group and one mum posted a picture of her babies bum whilst asking a question about his nappy rash.
It was just a picture of him waist down with his legs pulled up (what you'd expect to see if you were changing a nappy) and I reported that, I think others did too and asked her to take it down for reasons you described.

will scribble over the genital area to cover it,

Do you know that it's really easy to remove that?

No, I wouldn't report naked photos - if people are daft enough to post them then that's down to them to police not me.

Lots of people get photos of their new born in those trendy shots where the baby has no clothes on but is all curled up in a ball so you can't see anything you shouldn't. Is that what you are referring to here?

Madness!!

I wouldn't report it but if they were a close friend I'd let them know that maybe they shouldn't post a naked photo (of genitalia).

Depends on their privacy settings. My Facebook is fully private and I only have true friends and family on it.

I get that they're just babies, and normal people will see nothing more that a cute child but honestly, pedos use images like this.
Even just pictures of children wearing costumes, they don't have to be naked.

I think if you see something wrong/sexual in a photo of a baby then the problem lies with you, not the friend who shared it.

I don't know if I would report it. I personally would never put a picture of my naked children at any age on FB, or over viber WhatsApp.
I don't think people realise they're posting their life to a public galley, very few have proper security settings.
With the case of a new born rape in NI going on, why would you give any filthy perv ammunination.
A famous youtuber highlighted time stamps on YouTube's DC gymnastic videos, paedophiles leaving time stamps in comments say 2m10sec in video for erotic movements for other sick fucks.

No I'm talking about first bath/just born shots with no attempt to cover the baby's private parts. Not bare bum or nappy shots those are not compromising dignity. It's the ones that you would end up with a criminal conviction for if you are caught distributing!

Exactly! They can take a photo of your fully clothed child from your FB and make it into a pornographic image so why just report the naked ones? Do you have any photos of your DC on FB?

I never posted pictures with that part of the body on display, so would make sure that the edge of the bath tub or lots of bubbles covered over that part on the photo anyway. I don't think it is wise to share full nudity of a baby, but that is different to reporting it as being offensive. A naked baby is completely unoffensive, it is a minority of society that is the problem not the baby.

Privacy settings are also relevant as a pp said. If it is a good core of family and friends only, that is different to posting to a much broader section of society. I always kept my settings tight, and my more casual aquaintances don't see my postings.

I wouldn’t not because of any idea of being inappropriate but because of my child’s right to privacy.

I think if you see something wrong/sexual in a photo of a baby then the problem lies with you
Really so the 1000s of images found weekly online, hours of police work, europol, child abduction, isn't the issue but the OP showing concern is the one with the problem.
