We are so proud of our kids and the sweet things they do, and social media makes it so much easier to show the whole world just how wonderful and beautiful our little ones are.
But while it’s true that your little one looks totally adorable in that new dress, or frolicking on the beach in Bali in her little polka dotted two-piece swimsuit, it’s best to keep certain moments, and pictures private.
By doing this, you’re sparing your child of potential future embarrassment should she find out you posted ‘that’ photo of her in the bathtub on Facebook.
But more importantly, you’re protecting her from the very real and very frightening danger of online predators.
To give you some context, a horrifying 2012 report by WND’s Chelsea Schilling revealed a group of Facebook users who promoted and shared child pornography using their own Facebook accounts and other Facebook groups.
In 2016, this same danger is still very real.
So take note mums and dads. Here are 6 types of pictures of children* you should not be posting on social media.
