Its the change of events that have moved away from anything goes and is acceptable and should be accepted without complaint or concern......what happened years ago is just that it happend years ago when things went un-noticed.

The question was about mobile capable of taking photos being used in a place where people are responsible for the welfare of minors ,,,this was a school and they are governed by the department on restrictions.

And in public places a legal action that anyone can undertake,,,,,,,,but the case would be if someone was taking snaps of your child vunerable or otherwise,would it not alert you to be concerned,?even though they are acting legally because its in a public place,



Total strangers being caught in the background of a photo has gone on for years its part and parcel in certain places it cant be helped ,such as a swimming pool.paddling pool etc.

No one is being judged as gulity automatically or that there is any motive and have no thoughts of anyting untowards but where you are in a place of trust for a minor you have a duty carry out.,thats why the school in the OP doen't allow this to happen.

My Oh was asked to take photos of a local show for a local paper. He was told by the editor to make sure he got all parents permission before he took photos of any children ie on a bouncy castle, highland dancers, go-carts etc. So even he had to comply with their rules.

I dont understand the need either why parents insist putting every photo of their child on social media for the world to see. it would appear to have become the norm for many. Myabe when the children are older they might just ask their parents why!!

I dont do any social media sites, i like my privacy.

If i want to share photos then i email or print and show, very simple.

I love seeing children's events happy smiling faces
nothing better than seeing a sleeping baby
but maybe its the mothering instincts in me

BC posted a picture of her grandson on Facebook
it was the most tranquil lovely picture I had ever seen
his mass of curls as he slept peacefully
not a care in the world :-D :-D :-D

Its been an honour watched Sam Jax and Rosies children grow
from tiny children to near adult hood
and have now met them all in real life :-D
but its been good to watch them grow and share their good times :-D
