[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cool so all you would be fine with someone texting your child's photos to ppl you have never met? Giving who knows who access to your childs image?

I value and respect my child far more than I care about hurting someone's ego. This is crazy. In this day and age it just isn't safe. [/quote]
I would be 100% fine with my parents texting photos of my child to people I don’t know. What do you honestly think is going to happen?  There are so many REAL concerns. This is not one. You realize people everywhere have access to images of your child? I’m certain they are on security films at some grocery store. No one cares about stealing your child’s image as much as you think they do. [/quote]

+1 this thread is mostly nuts.

I have kids who are 10 and 12. Most friends and family don't tag our kids without asking. We don't do a lot of social media, but occasional cousin photos, holidays, etc. We text photos around all the time. Some people we know post only pictures where you can't see their kids' faces. Or they post their faces but only refer to them by initials. I don't understand the concern about kids' future online presence, unless you are deliberately posting unflattering or embarrassing items about your child. I think the people who are worried about digital manipulation of their kids into porn are frankly bonkers. There are billions of legit child porn images on the internet, not to mention trillions of easily available "photos of children" so the idea that someone is going to somehow snag a picture of my child and do something awful with it does not trouble me for one second.

I think the threat to our children will come from social media that they or their friends are creating, the legal harvesting of data that could influence everything from their buying behavior to their politics, and identity theft from corporate and government databases. My kids' SSNs were already both exposed when they were very young by the OMB attack.[/quote]
