Posting your child(ren)’s faces on social media

I don’t really post but my oh does occasionally however I’ve given permission for school to post, the library if she does a craft event, she was on the council page planting daffodils with the brownies. She’s 9 now and loves seeing photos of herself. My oldest is 16 anyway and social media was a very new concept back then.

On my own personal page with the highest privacy settings where I know every single person I’m friends with - yes.

Do I let groups, family members, friends, etc post her - no.

I’d posted previously when she was a baby but I’ve not posted her since. I was abit naive about the dangers of social media really. I don’t believe children should be on social media if I’m honest.

I don’t post their faces on a public forum like this. We do post them on platforms where you can restrict who can see them.

I post faces on my private social media, I have only people I know on it.

Family and friends posting my children in theirs? Absolutely not.

I was out once and someone said hello Leila to my daughter I asked who she was and she was a friend of my MIL and could have only seen her from photos so I put and end to it.

I only post on my Facebook and instagram for the most part because it has the settings of friends only can see my posts and only have family and close friends on mine mainly this is the only site I actually posted some with her face for the public

I miss the 90s and 2000s when people weren't so ridiculously judgemental about this stuff.... Don't want your kids posted online? Fine. But don't judge those who do.

I have a family only private story on snap I post her face on. I’ve only posted her face a handful of times like her first birthday on my regular social media. I typically never post her tho. Too many saves/ creepy people out there

I post my kids with their faces on social media.

I do post my daughter online on my private Instagram, and her face is on here I think. I mean honestly, I don’t live in fear, I share her because my friends and extended family love to see what we are up to. There are literally billions of images of children on the internet, no harm is going to come to my child because I uploaded a photo of her at the farm park. I’m sure saying that will get some peoples backs up but 🤷‍♀️

I can't reply to your comment! I post my baby's face everywhere, I don't mind it! I was replying to that comment that she was saying she posts her baby's face on her own personal page with the highest privacy settings where she knows everyone she's friends with because I can see her baby's face too and we're not friends
