Question

Are American Parents Over Sharing Their ********'s Pictures on Social Media?

Answer 1

Oversharing everything. Not just baby pics. I freaked out an online friend back in 2006 or so. She was telling me how her ex was abusive and she had gotten away from him and deleted all information regarding her new location so he couldn't find her. I said "You live in Jonesboro, Arkansas." She sent back "... what?" I repeated it and she was all *** how do you know? I told her her avatar told me. She was using a pic of herself with a Walmart in the background. A nearby street sign said "W Parker Rd" so I Googled Walmart on west Parker Road and it popped up a Walmart in Jonesboro. Took me 3 minutes max. I think I scared her. She stopped speaking to me.

Answer 2

Your Shih Tzu is your "dog"-ter is my Maltipoo is mine.

Answer 3

Grandmothers who live far from their grandchildren don't think there is any such thing as too many pics. I do not use facebook.

Answer 4

The terminal must be the size of the Hoover Dam

Answer 5

What you put online will be online forever.

Answer 6

People forget how many creeps are out there

Answer 7

yes, on facebook, every day I'm seeing pictures of a friend's baby. I mean I love the smile it brings, but in a world of kidnapping, stalking and.... you see, I'm getting worked up over a question.

Answer 8

Could bedangerous

Answer 9

Yes they do. I don't put pictures of my kids online. It is not safe at all.

Answer 10

And what a cute doggy.

Answer 11

As long as they are being responsible about it who cares? So people can post selfies, food, stupid jokes, hashtag photos, and other unimportant stuff all day. But when a mother puts up pic of their ******** ( or a grandmother post pic of their grandchildren)...'Its soooo annoying and stupid! Your kid is not that cute! Stop posting photos allllll the time!'. Just stop, don't be a hypocrite. Nobody wants to see you or whatever you post all the time but you put it out there anyway. Get over yourselves and get over this topic.

Answer 12

I would never do it. The internet is too porous. Too many opportunities to hijack your kids photos or just hijack your kids period! Too risky!!!!!

Answer 13

There are various levels over at Facebook. 90% of the time or more, what I post I leave as "Public" and anyone can see it. Otherwise it is restricted to "Friends". The only people I will accept as friends are people I have personally met in real life. I don't just add people willy nilly.

Answer 14

It bothers me that people I've never met add me as a friend on facebook. I just check them off as spam

Answer 15

Well, request me, anyway.

Yes, I ignore those requests. Everyone I have as Facebook friends is either a relative or someone I went to school with.

Answer 16

same here

Answer 17

Answer 18

She should have profusely thanked you.

Answer 19

What's the point of boasting to the whole online world that you've got kids?

Answer 20

Certain types, perhaps. You can't blame these parents for having pride in their ********, though. Blame those who use the pictures for evil.

Answer 21

Taking photographs of infants is disgusting in my opinion. It's probably because I'm very superstitious about photographs and babies though... And people share too much personal information online.

Answer 22

I enjoy it. Not to say I am a little jealous.

Answer 23

MOST of us don't want to see 500 pictures of your *****.

Answer 24

Kids are adorable, but too many online can be very bad!

Answer 25

And people wonder why others know so much about their life. Like, you just posted your entire life on Facebook. No one is stalking you.

Answer 26

I would have a maximum number of personal posts allowed on social media in a day/week, past that a too much information sensor comes on and locks you out of your account for a day.

Answer 27

Especially when their kids are too young to give consent and it's so easy for pedophiles to use

Answer 28

These ******** have their entire lives documented online through Facebook, twitter, Instagram, etc. and it's very difficult to permanently delete information once you've put it out on the internet. It'll be very interesting to see how this turns out for these ******** when they grow older and become ******.

Answer 29

I like sharing pictures of my son, but then I don't have a billion facebook friends... it's mostly just relatives that want to see the pictures.

So now we have a large extension of a social practice that has been around since cameras.

What else did you expect ?



Other than that, sometimes,some of those babies are pretty fuggly looking.



Cheers

HEAD FOR THE HILLS

Answer 35

Answer 36

Which generation do we blame for this generation of parents???

Answer 37

so annoying

Answer 38

I'm kind of guilty of that myself.

Answer 39

No kidding! I won't go into any details as to why, but I was once able to find someone's full name, address, and home phone number by doing a few hours of research on the internet. The only information I had to go off of was her first name, her age, the state she lived in, and some of her interests. I have replicated the same thing with a couple of people here on ********, just for kicks. (I never do anything with the information and don't save it.)

It is scary how easy it is to find someone's identity if you trove through a bunch of little details and piece them together. Be careful with what you share online.
