- There are many potential consequences of sharing your child's image and other personal information online, says lawyer and author Leah Plunkett.
Not only could photos be embarrassing for a child later on in life if they're in a job interview or trying to gain entrance to college or university, but they can be used and re-purposed in countless ways now and in the future by people and institutions that you may not even know.
"I would avoid (posting) any pictures of your child in any state of undress, even if it is a totally innocent day at the beach picture. Avoid posting any information that fully identifies your child by name, date of birth, or location," says Plunkett.
"Ideally, don't post pictures of your children on social media, instead look for other ways to share exciting moments with trusted family, friends, and others in your community that don't involve social media posts," she adds.

I don’t even find it necessary to post myself. I don’t care for ppl to know what I’m doing, what’s going on, all up in my business. I can’t imagine wanting to post my child
This is very important. I am afraid for all these kids whose parents just show off their kids online without thinking about who actually sees their picture! Its so selfish of the parents!
THANK YOU!!!
Parents who do that care more about being seen and popularized. There are many scientific research on this topic.
@@xiongly435 yup.
Cool story karen😂
do not judge so quickly. those parents may be just misinformed. I was
Wait …people are just figuring this out. 😳We are living in an era where people accessorize being pregnant and having children to fulfill the parents shallow need for attention privacy has become so rare it’s to late the train has already left the station
No one needs to post their children's photos/videos online. If they are doing it, it's just for attention/validation from people. No photos/videos of children should be posted until a child is an adult and can decide for themselves what they want to put online.
I couldn't agree more.
“It’s to share with friends and family,” That’s a cop-out and an excuse.
2024 EDIT: *fixing the “Thays”
@retrospectivej5718 Okay you win I lose its whatever🙄
Cool story karen😅
And you think that dont fall on you? You still the parent dawg. Use your brain
Super amazing when grandparents won't listen to requests of privacy.
More victimsplaining 😅
Sound of Freedom is worth watching.
Yes, everyone in the whole world should watch it.
This is why I deleted Facebook in 2009 and set my Instagram to private years ago. I deleted my digital footprint from the internet for the most part. No one needs to see me if they don’t know me.
I feel pity for people that want to be famous…being dependent on external validation is a precarious position to be in
Should be law that children can’t be online 18+too much bad garbage out there
This has nothing to do with kids being online but parents posting their kids online. The kind of laws that can help are online privacy and data protection laws.
And no teaching religion until they are adults as well.
And not letting children decide whether they want to become the opposite gender until they are adults as well.
This is why its important to make your social media accounts private if you want to post a pic of yourself because we probably don't know who is seeing pics of yourselves. It could be a stranger, a creep, or Idk.
I thought this was obvious since MySpace.
Yet another consequence of apathy in general population regarding learning the details of technology they now carry around with them everyday. Coding should have been taught since the early 2000's, education about data storage, privacy and mass data should have been a priority. It is too late now because of the cloud and AI development. Never have humans had a tool that people have so little general understanding of in terms of usage and consequences.
It's less like a virtual footprint and more like a virtual fingerprint.
And your voice leaves a voice print even if you leave your phone at home and tell your friend about a certain item you want to buy her phone will recognize your voice and by the time you get home you will have ads for that item. Crazy stuff
TH-cam had started to do preemptive action to prevent unthinkable consequences of social media posts in some channels that are related to children. For example, in most of the Classic "Sesame Street" videos, post commenting had been disabled in those videos to prevent worse things from happening (trolls, etc.) to keep the videos kid-friendly. Keenly, this is because even an innocent loose-talk single comment on the videos can be good enough to destroy the child's reputation or sanity.
Yes and i'm sick and tired of being persecuted and scrutinised for raising such issues persecuted abd scrutinised by parasites .
What's going on with the lawyer's hands?
Now I can’t stop looking at em 😅
And facebook Is a supposed over 13 social media site with over 18 content upon it and also it being an over 13 site why is such over 18 content upon it and also why are people posting pictures and videos etc of their under 13 children upon it when it is completely unsafe to do so in which endangers your child's lives and in doing so you should be prosecuted for aiding and abetting paedophiles etc
What if Grandma won't remove a photo of your kids on social media
Cancel and block grandma
I’ve heard you can contact the social media site and report them and request to have it taken down. But overall, I would no longer send her pictures or have access to my child if she can’t respect the wishes of the parents!
Report a violation of privacy to the platform.
I think it's more important to look at who is more likely to steal your data. Here I think companies are more likely than a random “online keyboard master” to share or steal your data with “blind” technics. I am pretty sure people who you trust are actually more likely that a random guy searching the web to try to steal your Childs picture.
One of the most egregious accounts here who totally monetize their kids and have them performing for their cameras 24/7 is the fluellen family. I hope those kids grow up and sue their parents.
Hopefully this good advice will one day be used by friends and relatives who inundate EVERYONE with silly photos of EVERYTHING their brat kids are doing. Please.🙏🏽
Was inventing the word "sharent" really necessary for such a serious topic?
Someone made a deep fake of my cat 😠
I remember once claiming to an acquaintance to remove a picture that included my car because it was identifiable by its license plates; she complied.
I also advised my mother when putting her house for rent or sale to blur the address on the wall before sharing or sending it to the broker.
How about the dangers of teaching kids to use grindr while in school?
but in all seriousness, this is a conversation that needs to be had.

@@derekwoodford9955Teens use Grindr???
THATS SO STUDID CAUSE NOW THAT GIRL IS ON VIDEO. I JUST SAW HER...SMH
Well Facebook Instagram should make social media safe .
@@jeniferdouglas I have no clue how to make social media safe but those who invented it should come up with a way to make social media more secure .
They make money off sharing our info
😅 yeah suure
It’s not their job to parent or protect your children who are too young to even have accounts on their platforms. Parents make accounts for their children anyway.
@@InspiredByEbonyLove This doesn’t apply to me as my children as adults .
When tiktok becomes a place where news companies get their main news source 😂
Social media is modern day news companies!
WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO? GET RID OF TV'S AND LETS STICK TO RADIOS THEN. SO THAT WAY NO ONE SEES YOU JUST HEARS YOU....SMDH
What’s the point of having a trans gender kid if you can’t tell the world about it.
hopefully those parents will be subject to lawsuits when the time is right and that practice will end.
No government should be allowed to control what people post... these karens and rediculous wanabe victims need to mimd thier own buisness...
Just anouther form of control... when will people wake up to this woke nonsense 😅
