I have 5000 similar photos thanks to the fact he can type my password and operate my phone.

BTW I began using Phatmass as a teenager.

I've always thought about evolving with my age and making phatmass less youth focused--but now, the target audience can just be the OG phatmasser's kids!

From someone who's not a parent but has seen bad things...I beg you...please, please, please find a way to secure your phone in a way your child cannot access without your permission and pervue.  It's all cute and funny when they are a toddler but it's really not when they are 5 and download $200 in apps or accidentally stumble upon something they shouldn't.  Also, most photos now have embedded geo-location tags so you want to make sure to turn off any GPS features when photos are being taken and make sure the geo-tag feature is off.  The metadata to that photo could lead someone right to your doorstep.

Right now, in America we live in relative safety that nothing will happen, but it's not so in other countries and I don't think it's going to stay that way forever.

agreed,  that and I would be even be more hesitant posting photos of children on an open  website, ya just never know any more, it is sad that we have to be so careful now with the simplest of things.

Yep, there's several stories now of children's photos being gathered from the web and being used in adds.  Recently there was one of a beautiful down sindrome girl that was used as the posterchild for selective abortion in finland? or something. The parent only found out because a friend of a friend of a friend took a picture after recognizing the photo and they had it translated.

i read recently that someone got onto some poor womans FB page, and was copying her childs photos from her page and posting it on his, and acting as if that was his child, eventually the mother found out, an get this, goes after FB to do something about it, and FB acted as if due to their T.O.S they couldn't do anything. eventually the guy either took them down or FB caved in an shut his page down... * shrugs * worse n worse all the time.

There's been a few cases of that, most of the time they are related to custody, though.
