You watch a kids dance show or performance at a local event, is it ok to post pictures online?

If my kid is in something I’m posting pictures of it 🤷🏼‍♀️

I wouldn't because you don't know of a family's home life and don't know if they escaped from an abusive person and all it takes is someone to recognize a school, library, etc and then that family or child gets found

Schools I’ve gone to had their own socials and posted videos of our concerts on there. Got posted on the town Facebook page.

If my child is preforming I’m posting it 🤷🏽‍♀️ if you don’t want your kid in peoples videos don’t have them in stuff like that. I promise no parent is focusing that video on anyone but THEIR child 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

My lo doesn’t participate in many public stuff because I don’t want her picture in random peoples posts. With time that will change but I would feel pretty entitled to want other parents to not post a picture because my child was in it lol or for fear of my child being in it x

Also most parents these days I’ve seen post pictures blur out the faces of other children they don’t know x

Typically what I’ve seen is people putting heart emojis over the other kids faces so they’re not identifiable!

Nop. My kids have nothing to do online. To each their own with their own kids but not with mine.

came to say the same, some kids are protected and at risk so it's not fair or safe to post without permission. There is a kid in my daughter's class who is adopted and it was messy so we have been warned about not posting kids but especially him. I wouldn't even post my mates kids without asking

agreed, it's ridiculous how many people think it's ok. Sadly I think there's a lot of people that just don't understand potential consequences of posting online. I personally think social media should be more responsible, you should be able to report an image of a child for being posted without permission. Childrens groups have to get signed permission before posting which I agree with. I'm not saying that should always be the case but it should be considered normal to ask.

& I think that would be polite, but sadly at least where I'm from, most people don't seem to bother.

and it doesn't matter where the focus is it's because of this way of thinking that kids in protection aren't allowed to join in things like this, for their own safety. Even if the rest of their class are doing it. I do understand what you're saying about parents just thinking about their own kids but I think it should be normalised to either check or cover other kids faces.
Personally I'd rather my kids not be on socials but I do let them join in with things like this understanding that some people feel the need to post everything so it will probably be shown. However I can make the choice as my kid loves being involved, some parents can't.

at last where I'm from schools check with parents about things like this when kids start at the school so it's not without permission.

Yea, things are different these days. I’m 25 now lol.
