Bang!Zoom! Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Hey Spyte, I'm just saying, hang tight. This is just an awful thing to deal with. Good on you for asking for advice. I think you have some excellent ideas to help cope here. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamela H in Texas Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Just ask people not to post your kids without permission. Many people I know have a policy of asking people if they can post group pics or whatever. They can change the picture by adding a snowflake or heart or whatever over faces.

Rebecca VA Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Are your children very young? I'm asking because you'll sort of lose control over this by the time they're teens. Teens post photos of themselves with friends all the time, and I've never seen them ask permission of the other kids (or their parents) to do so. However, kids often request that their photos be removed if the photos are especially unflattering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracesteacher Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 We don't post pics in general nor do we use our dd name. I have my acct set up up so I have to approve all tags. My dh and I don't post pics at all. Our dd who is 6 doesn't even want cutw quotes on fb. She says it is embaressing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoObvious Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 We post a ton of pictures of our kids because we are so far from family and friends. It used to make me nervous, but I'm over it. However, I never post pictures of other people's children without asking unless it's the back of their kid's head or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DianeW88 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Oh, I don't mind if we are out and about, at an event etc. :) That's just part of life. I'm thinking of people coming into my home for a visit, taking pictures inside my home that are *only* of my children, then posting those on their facebook pages with my kids' names attached. Is that normal? Am I too sensitive on that? And again, I really don't mind if we are out, at an activity, or with friends. It's just when it's in our home, with pictures that might indicate where we live - like an address or another identifying feature of our neighborhood - that I get antsy and concerned. I've asked the party that does this to stop, but she has not stopped. She treats my request as paranoid, and ignores it. Well, technically, she doesn't need your permission. You can ask, you can email Facebook...I think there is a "report" button by posts, but in the end, I'm not sure how much you can do about it. FWIW, it doesn't bother me if anyone posts my kiddos' photos. Why on earth would any one particular individual zero in on my kids' photo out of the ten billion photos out there and take time to track us down to commit some nefarious act. The odds must be staggering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
