I saw that you were going to remove it Maggie, so it was a shame that the reporter didn't wait a while longer.

Hi Sirius,
I actually put in the post that I would be changing the photo. I realise there are weirdo's out there - just thought it funny and wanted to share it with the few who were about. :-(

If we can't show bare botties, is it safe to show a child's face?
Faces are much more identifiable!!

To be fair to the reporter, I felt like doing the same to a photo of the child that has appeared on the DMail, her mother was angry that the photo had been taken down by , I think, instagram? The child had a bare belly and was in wellies.... nothing out of the way, it was a photo like most of us have taken of our children when little.

But, the thought of anyone perving over it is of concern having watched a news item the other night about US police monitoring computer activity of those uploading or downloading pornographic pics of children in the UK at a given moment was shocking in the scale of it

the RRer was obviously someone not experienced enough to know the photo would remain I imagine?

Very sad but as others have said it is the world we now live in.

Hello Maggie

I didn't see the picture. I brought a birthday "Vintage" birthday card for a friend last week, she has a little granddaughter, and I thought she would like it. It had two little girls in grown up dresses and big picture hats, the one little girl had her dress accidently tucked up, showing her bare bum. I thought it was delightful, as I am sure I would have thought your grandsons photo was too.

My friend loved the card <3 <3 <3

Well I hope whoever didn't pm you first doesn't visit any beaches! It was a TINY picture and I loved the humour in it.

...and reporting the post didn't remove the photo - which, I repeat, I even said I was going to change before I went to bed.
It was up for 2 hours,
I came back to change it, which was when I saw I'd been RR'd.


Ah well, I would delete the thread, but thanks to itchy fingers, I can't, so, once again, you actually failed :-P :-P

it wouldn't bother me seeing a little naked innocent botty, after all they are a tad cute,

BUT to someone else who enjoys looking at little botties for their own personal...er...pleasure... it's a splendid old time copying your photo & using it to fulfill their needs. No matter if faces & identity is hidden I would feel mortified if there would be a possibility my childs image was being exploited in this way.

I don't think the post was RR maliciously at all. I think it was someone who was worried the photo could be used & abused on a public forum and was reluctant to point it out incase of a spoilsport back lash.

I understand why it was RRd...but it wasn't me . :-)

It was a cheeky back view Errol, and I fully intended removing it before I went to bed - which I have done!
Yes, you could see their faces, but no names, no place of residence, and they're not on my tree!

They've RR'd the post where I describe my 6 year old grandson's 3 year old brother's naked photobomb - which is described under 'researching'.

Another FAIL

His (naked) brother does have an 'impish' look on his face.

Original picture was of my grandsons, this one, and, to the side a back view of his naked 3 year old little brother 'photobombing' him.

Gosh - my first RR!! Wonder if it was the post or picture that got me RR'd.
If it was the picture - major FAIL. That could still be seen on all my posts.

I said I'd change it later - and I have :-D
