In fact, she does not have a right to post pictures of her grandkids.

Legally? Sure she does. She could post pictures of your kids if she wants.

Legally? No she doesn't.

You have an expectation of privacy in a hospital setting. Ergo-not allowable use.

She invited her into the room, with a camera. Like a vampire- the damage is done.

Oh, and I'm literally laughing out loud about FB taking the picture down.

Facebook absolutely will remove reported photos of a minor child posted without parental consent.

Where are the new FB emojis when I need them.

Have you actually tried this? It's not that simple. I'm doubting fb would do it in this situation either.

I'm sorry, but I'm still struggling to wrap my head around the fact that some of the PP think that anyone but the parents have any rights over someone else's child. I'm a parent who does not allow pictures of my kids on the Internet, and like normal, respectful people, our family's follow our wishes to respect our children's privacy

^^^if they never told anyone that they didn't permit it! then they are not being disrespectful. People need to learn to speak up or and stop assuming everyone is a mind reader.

This is a myth.

Are you talking legal or ethical?

Of course what she did was annoying. But legally, I could go take a picture of your kid right now walking down the street, put it on my FB page. Or my website, and pretty much....well...you get the point.

There is a link (I've never needed to use it) that will get FB to immediately remove minors off of someone's FB page if they are not the parents.

I've used it, multiple times (for my work). Again, it's not as easy as just clicking a link and FB removes the picture. But, I like the world you live in where you think it's that wonderful (seriously, I wish it was that easy).

FB will not do this. I learned that the hard way.

This.

Exactly, what pettiness.

I would have been concerned that some creeper might use that knowledge to take advantage of a situation, like robbing the house while the family is at the hospital. I had to tell my siblings not to post about my fathers death for that reason. If it is not your own personal news, do not take liberties with it and blast it to the public.
