5- Embarrassing or Shaming Images
Tantrums, punishments, and everyday experiences gone wrong have gone viral. Moments such as being frightened, sad, or ill also turn into photo ops for some. Parents post things to YouTube, Twitter, Snapchat and the like that could be humiliating to a child, no matter the age. Besides suffering from personal embarrassment when they’re at their worst, kids are susceptible to depression, stress, and bullying.
6- Snaps of Academic Degrees or Diplomas
We know how proud you are of David’s high school diploma, but save the close-ups for the family album. Identity thieves search the internet not only for info containing full legal names, but images of degrees and diplomas so they can be counterfeited.
7- Anything Your Child Asks You Not To
If your child asks or begs you not to put something on social media for all the world to see, listen. While you may think it’s sweet and innocent, they don’t want to open themselves up to public scrutiny. Let them have a voice and choice, even if they are only 4 years old.
When it comes to posting photos of kids on social media, we should be conscientious. Be aware of what you’re sharing and anything that could be taken out of context. There are privacy features available that can protect what you share online. If you choose to post, always check those settings to see who has access to your images.
Do you post pics publicly of your children online? Are there any particular steps you take to fight privacy invasions? Share in the comments!
