Recently a lady at work followed me on Instagram, and I followed back. She’s got several thousand followers and documents a huge amount in her stories
This does include what seems to be every moment she spends with her 18 month old daughter. However a lot of this makes me uncomfortable. In the last week this has included the girl playing with (or winding up) a large dog, and her doing nothing to stop it while the dog gets visibly annoyed about the situation, nearly pulling the Christmas tree on to herself (while you can see colleagues legs tucked up under a blanket on the sofa so not in a position to leap into action. She’s just laughing at both of these situations.

What concerns me most is at least daily she puts a story (or 10) up with the little girl running around stark naked. If it was just an account for friends and family this wouldn’t necessarily be something I’d agree with as the daughter can’t agree to it, but this is a public account with thousands of followers, of whom she knows a handful and a lot are slightly pervy men as she posts a lot of photos of herself going out on the town. She looks incredible but gets a lot of letchy comments on them. There is no way you have a clue who’s watching and it doesn’t sit right with me.

I know raising it won’t go down well but I do want to challenge it... surely there has to be a constructive way to do this?!

I know you don't want to hear this but it's her life and choice and anything you do day will likely go down like a lead balloon.

Just unfollow/mute her so you don't see it anymore and get on with your life. Not worth it

Could you report for nudity? She would get a message from the account stating she had been reported for nudity? Might make her think or even post about it where you could comment?

WellVersedInEtiquette · 04/12/2019 21:39

She's probably not thought about the fact these pictures will be around for a long time and her child may not be happy about them down the line?

Report the images of her child naked. She's an idiot for doing that. Who even does that?!

Sagradafamiliar · 04/12/2019 22:00

Really. Does she really. Naked young people on IG seems to be a common occurrence nowadays if I believe everything I read here...

wasthatamistake · 05/12/2019 00:13

Report them to IG every time you see them

Yuck. I wouldn't ignore that for the child's sake. But I wouldnt raise it with her, if she thought she was doing anything wrong she wouldn't be doing it in the first place.
If she did that in a public space she'd get loads of comments (one hopes); shouldn't make it different because it's on social media.
