“No, photos are for yourself and friends. It’s not safe or secure, it’s just too much info for a predator to use to their advantage.”
“I would. There needs to be an education drive teaching children how to take care of themselves, not to talk to strangers and so forth. Yes, it’s dangerous to post their pictures online, but we shouldn’t have to live in a world where you can’t show off your children.”
“No, you give out information that a person can use to steal your child. I would not share a photo of my child online.”
“No, it’s too much personal information about your child on social media. Yes, parents want to boast, but it’s risky, especially with the number of paedophiles.”
“No, people get your information and could kidnap your child. Parents need to be cautious, it’s not wise, inasmuch as you’re excited.”
