DISCUSSION: Children on Social Medias “It came home to roost a year ago when my daughter, who is now 15, told me to take a photo of me kissing her off Facebook because she was embarrassed by it. My first reaction was, ‘I don’t have to do that, it’s my photo and it’s sweet.’ But then I realized that she had every right to ask me, so I took it down.” Parents like to post videos and photos of their children on the internet, either in smaller groups of friends/family or for the whole world to see. This is often because the parent is proud of what the child did and want to share it with others, or because the child just did something cute or funny. But then, when the child has grown up, and later sees the photos or videos of himself/herself the child might be embarrassed. Another problem is that the photo might be reused and shared other places on the internet. On the other hand, it is just a harmless photo. What can it do? In most cases nothing happen, and does it really matter if the child becomes embarrassed when he/she sees it later? We've all done funny or weird things when we were younger. So, the question is, do parents violate their children's privace when they share photos or videos of them online? Is that okay, or is it not? Discuss!

I'm not sure about this, but I think that as long as parents take the picture off when their child says so, it should be fine. But don't take an answer from an introvert gamer that doesn't care about any social media besides my YouTube account.
I see, but is the child old enough to understand and see the consequences and what it means to have photo of them online?
This is super stupid lol... If the kid is embarrassed just take it down, if a kid gets embarrassed by something their parents post tho they're weak like its so easy to just sat "OMG my mom posted that she's so embarrassing" and then everyone else has stories to tell
The only real problem is what can be considered Cp, like if a parent post a picture of a baby in a bath tub should they be allowed to get charged
There aren't any consequences of having a photo online unless A) Alcohol (govt jobs) B) drugs (because illegal) C) Pornography (Because Minor involved) Unless those are involved there aren't really any consequences.
LOL - parents are legally responsible for their child. Like where I live, if your kid damages my car or spray paints the side of my house, the parent is liable for damages. For that matter, is the child a part of the work force, paying taxes, and able to provide on their own? If so, then by all means support. If not, timmy gonna have to wait for mommas teet to be removed. Childern telling parents what to do...One of the reasons this new generation is the worst we have seen.
I believe it is infringing on the childs' privacy if they are old enough to understand what that means. At 17 i would honestly prefer for every trace of my Physical self to be removed from the internet. I would honestly rather not be seen online. I want the oppurtunity to brand myself and i would rather cut all ties to my family and prople i used to know.
I remember this conversation.. Kids have zero rights until they grow up, start paying bills, and not living at home.. Until then if they would like an opinion on the matter they can work for one.. The only people that are worried about "kids online rights" are the snotty nosed little brats themselves.. Earn it.. Like Proph mentioned, this generation is the most screwed up ever and it's pretty scary that these kids are going to grow up without a clue how to function in real life.. I just hope the end comes sooner rather than later..
But isn't it violating the child's privacy? I mean, when parents post photos of other parents online, they always ask them for permission. Shouldn't it be like that for children too? And once it's on the internet, it's always so easy to remove the photo, it might have been shared a thousands of times before you delete it from your Facebook. But the child might be feeling uncomfortable of having a photo of them online, or it might get bullied at school because of it. Do you think parents should just be free to post whatever photos of their child they would like to? I think parents should not be allowed to post photos of their child when it is under, let's say, 13 years old. When the child has reached that age limit, the parent would have to ask their child about permission to post the photo/video. This may prevent that photos of the child they don't like is getting spread all around the internet. What do you think?
No, it's impossible for parents to raise this generation, it's all instant gratification, and if you try to discipline them it's abuse, and you hug them and it's sexual abuse.. Media has ruined us, media and technology.. We'd be better off with that EMP blast, send us all back to the Wild West days.. Work for yourself and your family.. These kids need to be taught about hard work, and look around, it's all being replaced by robots.. None of them will know the meaning of hard work.. I'm not sure which is worse..
See this is what kids think.. These same Kids are the ones snap chatting and sexting, sending out worse pics than their parents would ever post... These ungrateful kids should have to live without technology, rather than worry about what pics moms posting.. Just be happy that they love you.. This sense of entitlement is going to ruin us..
If I ever have a kid, I'm not letting it participate in social media. There's too much risk associated with being involved in social media.
It's not like you can't untag yourself in photos.. And if you're getting bullied because your bully follows your mom on Facebook and IG well lmao
Social media isn't the problem it's people not being aware of what they post online and the future problems it can come. Idk about you guys but all the people around me are super careful about what they post on social media and the ones who aren't still know the consequences but don't care
