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?

We’re allowed to post photos at DDs primary, we get forms and if not a single parents objects then we can post performance photos/videos

It was nice in the school play to lot have to worry about it, of course would respect it if there were any issues

Anyways this could be the case in other places

At the beginning of my niece's school concert the Head Teacher said we could take photos or video of our child but not to share them on any social media as everyone could get on trouble.

Yes, I'd report to nursery.

Nobody needs to be posting these pictures on SM.

Could you mention to the friend herself that you think other parents might not like it, rather than reporting it?

psychomath · 18/12/2019 19:33

Or at least, before reporting it.

Can you drop her a message gently asking if she knows about some of the issues that can come from this?

Someone under a fake profile in a Facebook parenting group I'm in was in private chats with some of the parents that turned very creepy. Profile pic was traced to an offshore forum for pedophiles who exchange some grim thoughts on the innocent photos of kids stolen from the group, as well as some musing on how to find one of the individual children.

The badge of a nursery name would have been a dead giveaway.

If she doesn't take it down then yes, please do notify the nursery and report to Facebook as quickly as you can.

Yes I would report.

Too the nursery and to Facebook.

Every preschool/childminder/nursery I have ever been to prohibit photos like this...they don’t care if it’s your own child but other children are a big big NO

I'd speak to her. Do you know any of the other children?

PrtScn · 18/12/2019 19:57

I’d be really cross if my child was in those photos.
If you can’t approach her directly then report to the nursery.

Facebook won’t do anything about it. Nursery will be the strongest option here. It’s a safeguarding issue.
