Ok first im not having a dig at emmamum here or flashy either, but after reading the debate betwen flashy and emmamum in the photo thread it got me thinking.
Would you allow a pic of your child to be put on a public website?

I did a collection of parcels for the soldiers a few weeks ago at a speacial needs school over here, and to get pics and be able to put them on our sos website the teacher had to hand pick a handful of children whose parents had given permission for them to be photographed and believe me it wasnt that many. 5 or 6 tops out of a school of aprox 150.

My daughter dosent allow our grandsons pic to be posted online and i personally agree with her, although my other grandchild is posted willy nilly on the net by her mum which I think is pretty disguting given her age.

Now I agree that the world has gone mad and the do gooders have gone overboard with not allowing parents to take pics say at nativity plays and school concerts, I was gutted when my own daughter had one opportunity dancing at the Grand Theatre and I couldnt video her or take a pic and to make it worse even an organised vid wasnt done so all I have is a memory of that night. Her dad dosnt even have that.

Where should the line be drawn?
