Thread: IS it ok to share babies' and little girls' photos in Social media?

I've seen parents and relatives share their kids' innocent photos in social media, IS that healthy for those kids' future?
Won't those photos be misused?

Actually we can share our pics. That's fine. But sharing your child's pic means you are sharing it without the kid's consent. They're kids and the privacy breach we are currently going through in social media can start from since they were born because of this generation parents.
Those kids are given a label and identity as being a fashion girl or a child genius, even before they themselves start recognizing it.Branding someone is not really bad when it inc=volves just adults. But when it comes to kids, you're molding their future by selling their privacy in front of the whole world. It leads the kid to live up to the fake expectations and standards that are set upon his/herself for the rest of their lives.

Other than this, every innocent shots you take of a kid may look something else in the eyes of a pedophile. This is one of the incidents where kids get abused in the hands of strangers.

Kids are kids. They should remain innocent. They don't need to get a knowledge about the ugliness of reality and they should be allowed to have a normal childhood.

True... Old classic methods are always the best! We sometimes forget that children should be raised for their-sake, not for the parents' prestige sake.
