I know someone who has a beautiful little one year old boy and she is absolutely obsessed with his public instagram page. Posts daily updates and stories throughout the day.

The page is completely public and has a few thousand followers.

She is on there ranting today because some random person has screenshotted his pictures and used them in a tiktok video. I agree that this is weird and not okay behaviour but have also tried to point out that once his pictures are out there on a public platform that she no longer has any control over them and people could be screenshotting them for much more sinister uses. It is completely falling on deaf ears and her little brigade of instamummies are all outraged that I have dared to make the point.

AIBU to think that once you post public pictures of your kids its your own fault when they are used inappropriately

@myhobby i suspect it was just a turn of phrase- ,it made me smile as my teens would also savage me! They have already requested any Facebook photos from when they were little to be removed.

This is exactly why I don’t put my baby on social media.
