October 15, 2015 at 21:17Why you can’t post photos of children on Facebook
German police warn: publishing photos and personal data allows pedophiles and other intruders to monitor your children. And for photos that seem cute to parents, older children can be just ashamed.
Our grandparents had large albums into which they carefully glued “corners”, attached photos to them and signed the date, place and names of people with beautiful handwriting. And frames with black-and-white and color photographs taken in the studio - on them a child with a telephone receiver or adults in the costume of Cossacks in a boat.
Instead, we have accounts on social networks where many post photos of their children, starting from the day of birth.
Hagen city police warnsFacebook users about the consequences of publishing photos of children in the public domain. In the best case, the children themselves will be unhappy when they grow up: they may be ashamed of photos that you think are cute. At worst, pedophiles will know everything about the child, including the name, number of the kindergarten or school, date of birth, home address, and the working hours of karate or embroidery clubs. Child's classmates will be able to tease him with children's photos and find a topic for bullying.
