Pics of kids?

Question

Just want other opinions. i have noticed quite a few picks of children on the net in various places ( here for example) and am just wondering if anyone else agrees with me that this is so wrong? With so many pedophiles using the internet it scares me when my children even use the net and there is no way in h**l I would ever post their pictures on the net for all the world to see! Am I alone?

Answer 1

Maybe you shouldn't let your kids out in public, in case somebody sees them. Or you could wrap them in a vail until they're 21.

A Billion people use the internet everyday, none of them know or care about who you are or where you live. Good luck sneaking the kids out the front door tomorrow - you don't know who could be watching your house.

In short it sounds like you WANT to live in fear.

Answer 2

theres no pic

Answer 3

I personally won’t be posting pictures online where people I don’t know can have free access to myself and my children. You are correct, there are a lot of “unknowns” in the internet world. I keep all my pictures in an online album and I email those pictures out to friends and family. Or they can access our “personal website” and check out our family photos. But they must have our username and password.

Really, to each their own. But I personally don’t use my children (or myself) in any avatars or anything of the sort. I just don’t think it’s a smart thing to do. But that’s just my opinion.

yeah i knw what u mean...............sometimes i am even afraid to mention my kids. but to post my childs pic on internet and even as an avatar.........that is not kool at all. all parents dont think the same............now i could see if parents were in the picture with them, but not just the child in the picture. there are some awful ppl out there. God forbid they look at those babies the wrong way. i guess as parents we have to discern certain things and how we go about doing those things. we are all different parents.

Answer 5

On my picture you can barely see my daughter, nobody knows where i live, what her first name is. She could be Milana, Scarlett or Avalon, ect.

and if a pedofile is out there, i doubt he would chase after one child he saw on yahoo answers when he knows NOTHING about them.

Im my eyes, there's aware parents & paranoid ones.

I'm aware, but not paranoid.

Answer 6

Hi,

it is quite worrying, i AGREE. I have two young boys and millions of photos of them, but would definitively not post them on any website. Privacy of all children should be protected.

Answer 7

Have you thought about 'watermarking" your photos so you can easily share them round.

Do it using Adobe Photo Shop

Answer 8

<---------    This is my son. I also have pics of my kids on my 360 page. I am not worried, no. I have not given out personal details anywhere, only first names. Each to their own though.

Answer 9

I don't see how a paedophile is going to get off on a picture of me cuddling my baby!!

If it was nudie-in-the-bath picture then I see your point, but just one of their face - I don't see the harm.

We use aliases and it's not like we have our street address up for all to see.

I have pictures of my kids on facebook but also have it set so that only people I add as friends can see them, and I only add people I actually know in real life - not cyperspace :)

Answer 10

So you are saying by me posting my daughters photo as my avatar i am opening her up to being abused by pedophiles????? what a joke......i think posting semi or fully naked photos of your chidren is irresponsible. There have always been pedophiles and always will be you can arm your children with the knowledge that there are bad people in this world who do bad things and explain to them that their bodies are their own and that they can always come to you AND always being aware of where they are and who they are with but wrapping them in cotton wool, and sheilding them from the world is not ( and i know from personal experience) going to stop these horrible things from happening. Our generation of children dont play outside and cant go to friends houses without having an hour meeting with the parents, they miss out on so much because we are paranoid. The media has made us this way, there has always been hate and ugliness in the world but we are now exposed to it not only on an daily basis but almost on an hourly basis....its sad and horrible but it is just life...please dont think that i dont worry about these things and i dont keep my daughter safe but i also worry about the anxiety and stress we put our kids through by US worrying so much so that we almost lock our children away from society....

Answer 11

Obviously, I'm not scared.

No one on here knows exactly where I live, where I work, nothing.

Answer 12

I belong to a couple of mom's groups on the Internet and they all post pictures of their babies.  I would love to put a picture of my son because I think he is the cutest baby in the entire world (I'm not biased) but I am terrified to do it.  I don't want his picture out there for all the world to see.  There are some sick people who use the Internet for bad things.  I save his pics for friends and family.
