Grandmother posting pictures of kid on social media

[Anonymous]

My child’s grandmother keeps posting pictures of my child on social media. I’ve asked my ex to talk to his mom about it and he says he will, but never does. Neither one of us post our child online and have asked others not to as well, but she’s the only one who does it anyway. To make matters worse, her account is public. Should I wait for my ex to say something to her or should I? How do I do it without causing any tension?

Pick a priority— getting your kid off social media or not causing tension.

“Evangeline, hi it’s Elaine. Would you mind taking the photos of Larla down from Facebook? Ernest may not have told you but we are keeping her off social media for her own safety. Thanks so much”

And if that doesn’t work you report the photos to facebook and they will take them down.

No. You are out of sync. Just ask her to fix her settings. Then you don’t have to see them

Problem . Solved.

This would really bug me too, but you have to pick your battles and decide how much to fuss over it. Stop sending her pictures.

Way to (deliberately?) miss the point. She doesn't want anyone seeing pictures of her child.

OP: Tell Grandmother that you do not want your child on social media and if she can't respect that, you'll have no choice but to either take her phone/camera when she visits, or prohibit visits entirely.

Why is the fact that you included the greeting killing me?!

What’s the worst that can happen?

You will need to tell her yourself, then escalate with FB. Privacy is VERY important, with the rise of AI that can make an entire porno movie based on a few shots of your kid.

There are a lot of sick people online just looking for pictures of kids. I’m sure you’re already aware of this…

No. I got the point. I do not believe a single parent has the legal or moral right to do this. It is ALSO out of sync with social norms, especially if grandma only has her grandchild posts on friend-settings.

Well 1) grandma has a public profile, and 2) it doesnt matter what YOU believe, parents 100% have the right to keep their children off SM.
Grandma is stepping over the line, and needs to be reminded - gently at first - that this is inappropriate. If it continues, I would escalate with FB.

Google is useful tool.

Also google, “can mother take children on vacation without permission” or father. It depends.

If it’s in the agreement it’s a different story


So modify behavior voluntarily (be nice about it) or write it out and sign in, with or without lawyer

You can probably also find FB template response to you on line. Like 5,ooo caregivers have asked them the same thing

Dear [Ex-Grandmother's Name],

I hope you're doing well. I wanted to discuss something important. I've noticed that you’ve been posting photos of my child on Facebook. For privacy and safety reasons, I’d prefer if these photos were not shared online.

I appreciate your understanding and cooperation on this matter.

Best regards,
[Your Name]
