Question for parents who are against posting photos of their children on social media:


At gatherings and special occasions such as birthdays, graduations, etc where there is reasonable expectation that photos will be taken and likely posted (to a friend's social media account, or shared with family on Flickr or other online sharing app, however private or not), do you tell your children to stay out of peoples' photos? For example, say in a group graduation shot with close friends, would you ask the friend/parent taking the photo to take one with your child included and then make it a point to take your child out so they can take another that can be posted?Not interested in debating the finer points of whether or not to post photos of one's children on Facebook or Flickr or on the cloud somewhere. Let's assume your child is hanging out with someone who doesn't have an anti-social media policy.This came up in a recent parenting board I am part of. A non-social media parent asked their child's friend, after tons of photos were taken by several parents (from a birthday party, kid whose parents are anti online photos sat next to birthday girl while she blew out candles, was in group shots, etc) not to put copies of those photos anywhere online. It led to some bad feelings on both parts. Just wondering what the responsibility is on anti social media parents. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2r0szSH
