One of my Facebook friends has posted photos of her daughter at a nursery event and there are other children in the background of a few of the photos.

You can't tell from that post which nursery it is but there are loads of other pictures of her daughter in her uniform, where you can clearly see the name and badge, on her page and I'm pretty certain it's public.

Would I be being a busybody to report the photos when it's not my own children in them?

I’d report, most nurseries/schools/etc have very strict policies about shared photos.

Wildorchidz · 18/12/2019 18:53

Ignore the troll.
Who would you report to though?

pigdogridesagain · 18/12/2019 18:53

You seriously need to get a life! What a horrible person you are

Ohnoherewego62 · 18/12/2019 18:54

You ok troll Karen??

HoneysuckIejasmine · 18/12/2019 18:54

Our nursery has a policy specifically prohibiting this so yes, I would. You just don't know the reasons some kids might need to be anonymous.

Wildorchidz · 18/12/2019 18:55

Ignore that person too.

TulipCat · 18/12/2019 18:55

I wouldn't get involved.

AtrociousCircumstance · 18/12/2019 18:55

Yes report.

TinyGhostWriter · 18/12/2019 18:55

I’d report it. If she isn’t aware already, then she’ll learn that you shouldn’t post photos of other people’s children online!

( the first response to this post is just bizarre)

Panpastels · 18/12/2019 18:56

Well you could, but it's a bit of a busybody thing to do unless you knew there was a specific issue with any of the children being identified.

Wildorchidz · 18/12/2019 18:56

Meant to say ignore @pigdogridesagain

lovemenorca · 18/12/2019 18:56

No drama
Email nursery to give them heads up and ask them to deal with it

HoneysuckIejasmine · 18/12/2019 18:57

But it's not like it would be public knowledge they needed protecting. In fact it rather defeats the object! It's not hard to edit photos to obscure other people's faces. It's really not.

Ineedanamechange79 · 18/12/2019 18:57

She may have permission from the other mums? I know in our nursery group lots of mums have agreed to allow others to share photos of their children.

Rainbowshine · 18/12/2019 18:59

I’d take a screenshot showing who posted it and send it to the nursery for them to deal with.

ToPlanZ · 18/12/2019 19:03

Yes let the nursery know. It's not nastiness, some kids cannot have their photos online. I know someone whose child absolutely cannot have an online presence. The lady in question probably just hasn't thought things through property.

Awesomeo90 · 18/12/2019 19:05

Fairly certain Karenhatesfortnite is a YouTuber! Watched too many of their videos not to recognise them Grin

Strongmummy · 18/12/2019 19:19

Send her a DM and ask her

GiveHerHellFromUs · 18/12/2019 19:19

I'd report it personally. If there's no issue it won't get taken down. If there's an issue it will.

spurlingpipe · 18/12/2019 19:21

My own kids can't have their pictures on social media which is I why I immediately thought of reporting it.

I hadn't thought of letting the nursery know. Was just going to report it through Facebook.
I don't want to get her in trouble, just think the photos should be taken down.

TitianaTitsling · 18/12/2019 19:25

Would you have to see her other photos to link to the nursery? As is the photos with the other children do they have uniform, or would you have to be able to see her full fb and then link them? I don't mean to be obtuse, I just haven't reached this stage with DC yet and would hate to make any similar mistakes!

AG29 · 18/12/2019 19:26

Yes I would. Most schools, nurseries etc if not all have strict policies on this and it’s these parents that ruin it for the rest. My children’s school used to allow us to take photos if we signed something to say we wouldn’t share in social media. Some parents didn’t listen and posted on social media so now we aren’t allowed to take any photos at all of our own children in the play.

Was it mentioned at the beginning of the play about taking photos?

A know a lady who’s partner (not the children’s dad and they hadn’t been together long either) posted photos and videos of her child’s play with other children in the photos/videos on his social media account. Parents were outraged and complained to the school and the school asked the woman to come in and told her her partner needs to delete them. This wasn’t at my children’s school but local.

Some children cannot have photos online, some parents are comfortable with etc. Truthfully I wouldn’t feel comfortable with other parents putting photos with my child on social media.

AG29 · 18/12/2019 19:27

Also my friend knew knew who actually reported the photos. It could have been a few people tbh. the nursery will just ask her to take it down and most likely she won’t know who told them

misspiggy19 · 18/12/2019 19:29

I would report
