Child's photos shared without my consent

[Barbara2022]

SIL has uploaded a public video to YouTube of her wedding and two different images of my child (taken by their wedding photographer), has been used without mine or husbands consent.
I am very private, no social media and don't let nursery share photos of my child, which is why I'm bothered by this.
But unfortunately, from what I've read, sharing photos of children is a grey area - unless indecent images.
Please note SIL is a very unreasonable, so generally approaching her about this would be pointless. I'm just after any advice, thank you

Unless they're is some serious and specific reason why it would be dangerous for your specific child to have their picture taken, In think you are being completely over the top personally.

Photos are almost always taken at a wedding, and it's well known that wedding photos are usually down pretty widely. If you have a problem with your child appearing in any of them, then you should have spoken to the photographer.

I think you need to unclench somewhat. Your child will appear in innumerable photos, often in the background or inadvertently, and there's nothing you can do about it. You can control what you put up, and make requests of friends and family, but besides that you can do very little about it. Being inadvertently in photos, or ina group shot that someone else shares is an inevitability in photography era.

I’m with you OP. Why people want to plaster their kids photos all the internet is baffling.

Is there a reason why you don't want your child on sm? It's not the norm to be that bothered by it.

@Barbara2022 I don't think it's @Bobbins36 who's being arsey tbf.

Hold the front page, people take photos of their wedding guests. It's considered a nice thing to do. Sometimes they share them to others.
You presumably don't have much of a valid reason for not wanting your child to be photographed or you'd know that an image belongs to the photographer not the subject.
Next time, keep your kid out of the way.

Someone put photos of my new baby (at the time) on Facebook (another friend told me I'm not on there) and I went mental and contacted Facebook as my "so called friend" wouldn't take it down

She is no longer my friend

I'm with the OP. Personally, I don't tend to share photos of my dd online but wouldn't have a problem in this scenario if someone did. However, some of my family members don't want photos of their children on SM at all, so when I put some of my wedding photos up I simply didn't include the ones their children were in, it's not that hard.

I just couldn’t get worked up about this. Are your kids in witness protection or something?

OP if there is a particular reason why you don’t want the video to be shared on SM you perhaps should have said so in your OP. You are getting some unpleasant responses as it is not a big deal under normal circumstances.

@Barbara2022 were they solo shots of your child or photos they just happened to be in? How old is your child? Old enough to tell people 'no photos'?

It was for you to talk to the photographer and make sure your children weren’t photographed.

Can people check the dates on threads before posting?
ZOMBIE

In the nicest way, it doesn't seem to be just your SIL that is being unreasonable...

It was her wedding. Her BIG DAY. Of course she is entitled to take and share photos of her happy day. Why shouldn't she? If you were that bothered, you should have made that clear.
