to think that a person should not put pics of other peoples children on the internet?

[IAmMummy]

This might be a bit petty,and is really none of my business,but as I have children the same age it got me thinking...

I've just been on facebook,and a mum from my daughters old school has her photobucket link on there (her profile is public) I had a nose (as you do when you're bored!)and she has put photos of her daughter off on a school trip (fair enough) but she has not bothered to blank out the other kids faces- or the mums for that matter!

I know if it were my daughter I would be a bit pissed off!

Is this a bit wrong,or am I just an interfering weirdo!? I know I am!

i wouldn't worry. dd's school have had her on the internet. no biggie

I learnt about the kids in care thing from MN - until I heard that, I'd have assumed fuss about photos of kids at school or at performances and so on was ridiculous. Now I'd be more understanding.

I personally wouldn't put up pictures of other peoples DCs, because I wouldn't want to upset them. Agree it's not about the 'paedo' issue, but like others have mentioned, you don't always know people's situations. Child protection isn't just about protecting from strangers is it?

Yes, I too would always ask permission before putting photos of other people's children on my facebook profile. Not because of the fear of paedophillia - my privacu settings are very high and I am not worried about putting pics of my own dc's on - but just out of courtesy as people obviously have different views on this and that should be respected.

I agree with the child protection reasons - some people have very good reasons for avoiding bringing attention to themselves but when it isn't your child in question and you aren't the person putting the photos up then it really isn't any of your business.

MindingMum - Glad you did a course, I'm sure it's really useful for you. I also did a course and lots of child protection issues were covered, because it was an MA in social work. People who like to look at fully clothed children tend to get the boden catalogue because it's much easier than trawling the internet.

I would be annoyed personally, due to adoption issues and confidentiality in our family. Just my opinion though. Especially if I had not been asked first.
