Stranger Danger: 7 pictures of your child you must NEVER post on social media

Stranger Danger: 7 pictures of your child you must NEVER post on social media

As parents, we must be responsible and practice restraint when it comes to posting photos of our kids. Here are 7 you must always avoid sharing on social media

7 pictures of your child you must NEVER post on social media

#1 Bath time photos

While your kid enjoying getting all bubbly in his tub might be a cute moment to remember, it’s certainly not a good idea to post pictures of naked kids on the Internet. You may find these adorable, but pedophiles don’t. It’s an opportunity for them to indulge in child pornography.

#2 Photos with specific personal details

Another ‘no-no’ is to share private and personal details online. Avoid sharing photos with details of your house number, your child’s school, his or her babysitter, which doctor you go to and when. All of these details can pose a danger to your child since they can be easily accessed and make your routine easy to follow.

#3 Potty-training pics

How and when your child learns to do his business should not be anybody else’s business. Do you really want your children to see embarrassing pictures of themselves in the future? It’s also not a good practice to share such intimate moments with people online. Remember, whatever you share online lasts forever!

#4 Shaming photos

Sometimes we may post pictures shaming a child, but this practice can have devastating effects on the kid. This action not only violates trust between the child and the parent, but may also cause post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and even anxiety in the later stages of the child’s life.

#5 Photos with other children

If your child is attending a group function like a birthday with his/her friends, it’s better to ask permission from fellow parents before posting a group picture. While you may not see anything wrong with it, some parents might be opposed to the idea of sharing their child’s photo online.

#6 Photos of sick/injured children

Avoid posting pictures of your children when they are unwell. As parents, it’s our job to protect and safeguard our children and keep them from harm’s way. Would you want somebody to take a selfie with you when you are unwell? Probably not. Apply the same principle to your kids and just let them rest.

#7 Photos of unsafe activities

It maybe a ‘fun’ idea to take a selfie while your child is unstrapped in a moving car, but it’s not really the safest one! Not only are you promoting unsafe practices, you are also putting your child in grave danger. Photos of such seemingly harmless moments taken in good fun can backfire and also opens you up to parenting criticism.
