Quoting κατι:" The comment you made HERE WAS sexual."

Maybe we just have two diffent points of view. When you were saying everything has to be sexual, I took that as meaning, in relations to all of this pedophile debate, when the point that I was originatlly trying to make in the first post was that for me, to have a totally nude picture of someone else's child just seemed to be a bit much where privacy is concerned. I dont think of that as "sexual" .

I didn't even realize we were in D&D. But thanks for letting me know. But I guess I am one of "those" debaters. When you start putting words in people's mouths that they have not said, you become a dumb ass...

All of my photos are private and my friends list is limited to friends/close friends/family members. The majority of my family lives in another country and FB is the easiest way to share photos of my family with them. I'm thoughtful about what I post.
As for friends who post photos of my child... They don't. My siblings might post a photo once in a while. If I have photos of my friends' children, I would ask them for permission to post, but I usually just text them the photos.

And please tell the women who have had their children molested, kidnapped or murdered....or all of the above that protecting them offline doesn't take much energy and that they need to stop pretending that it does....

It can happen to anyone's child....even yours. You're a fool if you think differently

Lol, you need to reread what I wrote then. If I had put words in your mouth, I would have clearly called you out for saying that. I actually ASKED you if that was what you meant.

For a second there I thought D&D stood for Dungeons & Dragons....until I remembered I posted this in Discuss and Debate...I am a dork.

If you say so.... You did in fact put words in my mouth in the form of a question.....I'm sorry you don't see it that way.....

Oh please. Don't even try and insinuate that I am saying protecting your child (offline) doesn't take thought. However there are simple things you can do to try and protect them. Bad things happen, but you still have to try. You're digging for an argument where there is none.

Nice to bring up the mothers of raped/abducted/murdered children, I'm sure that pulled at some heart strings.

I could care less to be honest. My Facebook is set very private. I don't have a whole lot of friends to begin with (introvert to the max lol) so I don't have to worry about them posting pics of my kids.. Anytime they do its just birthday party type pictures. I do not post nude pics.
I do have friends who don't post pics of their new baby whatsoever. But they're the type who think the world is out to get them and live in the sticks lol. Meh

My son is the main reason why I still have a Facebook. Most of my friends and family are in Maryland and we live in Texas so Facebook is the easiest way to share photos of DS, DH, and myself. I don't have an issue with people posting pictures of DS because it's so rare that they do since we live so far away. My Facebook is private, DH's is private, everyone who would ever post a picture of DS has a private profile. I have maybe 100 friends, maybe 115? I know each one of them, I'm not the kind of person who just accepts anyone to be my friend.

Facebook has our close friends and family --- no creepy people to try to "save" our children from... why would facebook be a problem? its not like a raunchy sexy kids' butt sex site (please god let something like that not exist... ugh).

not seeing the problem here.... yeah... you as the mom should be capable of putting his pics up.

Well thanks for all of the opinions. Today I learned that I have the modesty of an Amish woman, oh well to each their own. Everyone has different ideas of what's appropriate for them and that's fine and dandy.

I feel like a lot of people are under a bit of a false sense of security. Facebook privacy settings are notoriously lapse, and there has been several infringements as they make updates. "Knowing" everybody on your friends, is unlikely and even if you know each person well, I sincerely doubt your know their specific sexual prefrances, let alone if they have a taste for pedophilia.

Of course, its gross to think of anyone doing anything questionable to an image of your child but really if the inclination was there a pedophile could easily remember your child's image from a mall or pool, or in this day and age take a photo themselves. While this idea is unsettling, I really don't see how this would "hurt" your child in anyway. I am certainly not condoning such behaviour, but if such a scenario happened I do not feel a child would suffer any emotional trauma or harm.

That being said, I do not post pictures of my child naked simply because she is far too little to consent to such a thing, and once she could she would be far too old for it to be appropriate.

I agree with this. When I posed the initial question, I had this in mind, giving your child some privacy. I was not even thinking of predators etc.

Yeah, I dont like my dd's pic up because of pedos, sure, but that is one of many reasons. When i see another kids pic on fb I'm not all up in arms about how their parents are putting their child at risk. I am just aware its a possibility. Not to long ago a bg mama had her fb pic posted all over the internet and was freaking out about it...it happens.
