Do You Post Your Child's Photo on Social Media?

 

Parents who social media their child's photos

Could be infringing their child's human rights

Affecting their safety and ability

For job opportunities being bright

 

The UN is currently reviewing

It's Convention of Rights of the Child

Where does it lie in the digital age

(Australia's been a signatory for a while)

 

PostScript

 

Global research shows 3 in 4 parents regularly post photos/videos of their children on social media. To me, it's an abuse of their privacy and exposes them to who knows what out there. But then that's just me.

Serious issue, I see it happen every day. And you can't just go tell a parent what to do with their child lest you seem paying or meddlesome and offend them...Unless they're really close friends but what about the rest?
Good point Don?

One of the many downsides of social media. Good point, Don
