Should you share your kids' photos online?

from View From The Pugh · host Chris Pugh

In the age of social media, parents often debate whether they should share their children’s photos online. While posting pictures allows families to stay connected and share special moments, there are also significant privacy and security concerns to consider.One major risk is the permanence of digital footprints. Once an image is online, it can be copied, shared, and even misused without your consent. Even private accounts don’t guarantee complete protection, as hackers and data collection practices make it difficult to control where your photos end up.Additionally, some experts warn about "sharenting"—the act of oversharing a child’s life on social media—which can impact their future digital identity. Facial recognition technology and evolving online policies mean that children could grow up with an online presence they had no say in creating.So, what can parents do? If you choose to share, consider using private photo-sharing platforms, limiting identifiable details, and adjusting your privacy settings. Some parents prefer not to post at all, ensuring their child’s online identity remains in their control.What’s your take? Do
