Do You Think This Is A Good Idea?

No. When my daughter gets older, she will only be on the internet with adult supervision. I don't want to take my chances.  I would do anything to protect my daughter.

I have had one of my children molested by a adult....let me tell you from a mother who went through something you would never dream...that it would happen to you...well let me tell you..IT DOES!  So don't ever risk the safety of one of your children and keep your family photos where they belong at home not on the Internet!  *he was married had children,had two sons,went to the Lutheran Church and a boy scout leader and he molested several boys in our home town (Wes Fern)*

It depends on the picture and the website. On Blurtit, you won't even see my wife unless behind a face mask. On MySpace, it's friends only and even then the kids are in a barangay in the Philippines where strangers get kidnapped by the New People's Army or beheaded by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. So I dare any perve to try that route. Here's my stepdaughter and godson as an example.

If the picture is non-sexual, and the actual address or interior/exterior of your house is invisible, then a child's picture may be appropriate. Make sure guardians or family elders vet the pics first, though.

No its not a good idea that is why all of my pages are private and you have to be my friend to see my pics and the school puts the names in alphabetical order instead of the order we stand in on the website

No way you can't even trust those that are there to help you No WAY.

I don't think it's a good idea at all, esp since here and there we tend to reveal where we live, or the kind of neighborhoods we live in -- too much info to attach to a picture nowadays.  I would love to show you pictures of my grandchildren, but for their safety, I would never put them where the public could view them.  All of our family have Myspace accounts, to keep in touch, send pictures, etc -- but all our sites are private for friends and family only.  As for putting my picture here, or seeing adult's (facial) pictures online -- I've received way too many emails from people who select and send random (online) people's pictures with cartoon or sarcastic remarks in text under the pictures.

I would never post a child's pic or my own it is to dangerous.

Every school year, I have to sign a release for the school to put my kids' pictures on the web, and I do not sign it.  But I found out if I do not sign the form, the school cannot put my kid's picture in the yearbook!  I do not know what one has to do with the other.  I always have to write a note that gives permission for the yearbook to publish their pics in it.  But I agree, I know predators peruse the Internet looking for kids to possibly hurt.  I have a registered child rapist NEXT DOOR ( I see him often) and another one across the street and down 2 blocks, plus a lot more on the side streets around our neighborhood.  It is really hard to let the kids go outside by themselves, and I also have to monitor them at the bus stop,

I would never, never, ever, ever, put my child's picture on the net. Let alone mine. Or anyone else I know. Too much of a risk.

While i know where you are coming from, i believe that it is better not to restrict the kids too much. Sharing photos as well as dialogue, is the attraction and i think if we maintain an open and trusting relationship over this it will be better all round. These perverts will always find a way to practise their craft, and i think a child will be less likely to be taken in if they can openly relate to their parents. Its an issue of trust and education by the parents. :)

I think that this Idea is really very bad, because children can never be us. I am just a girl but still I can say it confidently because risk taking in this case could be serious, there are a lot of computer hackers so please avoid it

I could answer the same way everyone else answered but instead i would ask a question-how do you know you are seeing who you are looking at and talking to who you see in the pictures or if they even exist? I think the only way you would have to really worry is if the person putting the information on the screen/net/web/myspace put their personal information on the internet or if the person on the other end could possibly find out by hacking the site to get their real information....or if the children we're able to make real world contact...then i would worry.....so your right about the preditors but it would be very hard for them to make real world contact without any real world personal info....but some people are still what's the word naive and give out info that can help a nut find them without even really thinking about it.....sometimes it amazes me how much info is on the internet that should not be......anyway that's my two cents later

I think it is a very bad idea to put pictures of our children on the Internet even of ourselves.  I don't believe anyone can ever be too careful these days.  I never put pics online unless I really know some one then I email them but I don't post them online.  I think it is a good idea to use cartoon aviaters etc.  Like we do here at blurt it.  Predators are all over the Internet these days.  It is a scarey world we live in.

Me and both of my children have a myspace and we have lots and lots of pics on there. I'm curious how exactly someone is going to hurt you child by the pics? Use the pics for what? I'm am far from naive but I think it is a bit ridiculous and even a little paranoid. My homepage for here is my myspace. We have a blast with it sharing pics with our family across the country. Have had mine for 3 years, My son for 2 and my daughter got hers last year. No one can even see her page unless they are friends with her and you can't be friends with her unless you know her email or last name. So, it would be pretty hard.

HECK NO< NO WAY< NO HOW
