[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've had this rule for years now including people taking pics of our kids. You need to be upfront about your decision and persistent when you see violations to make people take down pics. I'd say more than half my friends don't post kid pics on social media anyway so when we're around each others kids and taking pics all the parents at this point know what's ok to share on social media. It took a long time for my mom to follow the rule but after a lot of reminding she 100% follows it. My friends and family all use private albums to share kid pics with they trust now - maybe it's a generational thing. Sorry, but once a pic is on the public internet any sicko can use it and manipulate it. Google it. [/quote]

Make sure you go to school and confiscate all the yearbooks.  [/quote]

Most schools allow kids to be opted out of the yearbook.  Many do.[/quote]
How sad for the kid. Truly. Because there is a .000001% chance of being kidnapped or some other such ridiculousness. [/quote]

How sad for the kids whose relatives refuse to acknowledge reality.  Even sadder for that kid who really is in the percentage that is at risk there when people refuse to take it seriously.[/quote]
At risk for WHAT for a yearbook photo?

Of the number of kids who go missing, the majority of the time it's either accidental, or they're runaways.  Out of the rest of those, parental abduction during custody disputes or domestic violence is the most common.  This is why schools are so picky about who can and can't pick up a kid--probably the easiest way for that to happen would be to take them from school, while it's assumed they're safe, and might not be missed for a few hours.  Schools do not want to be responsible for giving a kid to the wrong person, or giving out information that could lead to a situation like that.  The fact that it's not terribly common doesn't make it any less real for the few that do need to deal with it.  Idk about you, but I'm not sure I'd judge anyone in that situation for doing what they needed to do to feel safer, including not going out of their way to make it known where their kid is all day.

Basically, it's a "be grateful you don't get it" situation.
