Never posting children's pictures online

[DawnM]

That you know of.

 

Presumably most children who were sexually abused by adults know pedophiles. 

 

 

 

 

...Or at least someone willing to engage in pedophilic behavior, I'll add since I know someone will pop up to tell us that not all people who abuse children, even under the age of 9 (the typical demarcation line for statistical purposes, as above), are actually pedophiles. 

 

But you said you KNOW them and that there is more than one.  That surprised me.

 

How would I know who is a pedophile if it isn't a known thing?

I know a pedophile. He was a good friend of mine in college. And then he went to jail. :sad:

 

And one of the camp counselors at my kids' summer camp last year was arrested for molesting two of the campers (no one in our group, but my kids did know who the guy was). So all the kids, including my own, from our church who went to that camp have met and interacted with a pedophile.

 

I'm not the person you addressed with your question, but I thought it was worth responding to. I myself don't avoid posting pictures online for that one issue, but, though not a primary reason, it is one of the many things that I considered when making the choice not to share photos.

 

I did know someone who is now in jail, but I hardly think that is a threat because he has no internet access anyway.  I didn't know him well.  He was a friend of a friend and did not interact with my kids at all.

 

But I took OK's post to be continuing to interact where they can see your kids' photos.  Maybe I misunderstood.

I voted other. I post some photos but the kids have approved them first, and my FB privacy is set to friends only.  I will not post embarrassing photos. I cringe when I see pictures of potty training success, first boy face shave, and others. I just think that will prove to be super embarrassing at some point.

 

I do have an Instagram account but I rarely use it. All pictures there don't show faces.

I do a limited amount on a locked down facebook account.  We have extended family that would never see my children if it weren't for that account.  My main reason for not posting is extended family that I'd rather not know what we are up to any given day.
