Be careful with family pictures posted online

That is just crazy how could some one do that to another person I really just don't think it's right. I have two little girls of my own and I have tones of pic of them on my myspace page I would be up set to if I found out that some was doing that to my child. I think that women did the right thing no one should have to go through that at all.

I heard about a family whose vacation picture was printed up the size of a billboard one time. I do not have family pictures online, at least very few. Neither my daughter or daughter in law are comfortable with it, so I do not do it with the grandkids.

Good warning!

I am also one of those people who have a pics of my relatives or sister and brother in some social networking site and thankful that have not encountered problem that someone used the picture for any purposes. If the person done things about mother's pic its privacy that they don't respect. It is hard to trace who done this and for us to be safe is that we will not make our pics visible to public. There are site that you can upload your pic and you have the option that no one can copy or save your images to be safe from saving and copying. Piczo is one of this site that you can create blog, like any other networking site that you can protect your pic and you have to choose the option that can not be copied or save by oters your pic.

That is why I never post my picture on the net. Even at social networking sites. Computer geeks can do so much on them and it could be a freaky result. So far the pictures that I have posted are only of my pets. I think no harm can be done on them. Thanks for sharing this post. I will tell my sister about it cause she is a member of a social networking site and I know she posts a lot of pictures on her site, including her son's picture.

i think this is one reason why never put my picture in many places in online. our picture can be modify to be something wrong, because there are too many internet crime. the other reason because iam not confidence to put my picture.

It is quite scary to post personal pictures online. It can be easily copied and pasted in any where and for any reason. The cyberspace has a lot of rubbish floating around so we should if possible refrain from posting personal picture online. I was shocked the other day when someone copied my avatar in mylot and requested me for friends. That is the reason I changed my avatar to a different picture and no longer uses my picture as my avatar.

I believe that with the advent of all this technology right now, a lot of things are possible. As you have said, we should be careful considering that pictures can easily be edited. Great of you to have posted this information so that many people will be warned and will be careful with what they do online.

this is horrible. i cant imagine that one will do this thing. all should be cautious.

Oh thanks. It is funny that i posted our old family photo for about two days ago here in mylot. I used it to show my baby picture. I hope that won't happen to me.

What the? that's really really disturbing..those kind of scum really need to get a life and probably stop doing this stuff. lucky for me that the pictures of my family in friendster are put into the private folder. the only picture that is in public is me.

Wow it really gives me a shock . What should i do now since i post a lot of pictures of my baby in mylot ! i just think it funny , interesting and don't consider at all about criminal purposes. Yeah people can find out anything about you from the internet if they want to do harm to you.

For security, I never put any private photos on public websites.

That is ridiculous!! I've got pics of my kids on myspace but I have it set up so that only those who are added as friends can get to my photo albums. It's amazing the things that people will do. A shame really that we have to be so suspicious of everyone around us. Thanks for the warning though.

Crime and criminality has so many faces, features and nature that we can never know just what to expect. Scams are so in abundance you can take your pick. I would have been mortified to find my baby put up for adoption and online at that. i would have liked for more than just an email being erased. The same manner in which hackers are traced should have been employed to capture the person or persons behind this troubling scam. Yahoo or the mother, in my opinion should have alerted the police so a trace could be done. Afterall email accounts are more than easy to come by. By terminating an account only the perpitrator/s are left ton continue their terrible deeds.

That's scary, I passed the link onto some of my friends, they're always posting pictures of their families and kids on their blogs. I'd be beyond angry if someone did that to me, its getting scarier and scarier everyday. I think we all need to be more careful about what we do on the internet.

Internet can somehow be dangerous nowadays and we do have the internet murderers and also bad guys. It is best that we do not expose too much of ourselves and family online and not to expose the personal details and identity too. Since those information might lure people who are having bad intentions to use it for framing you or to use it for bad purposes.

what a horrible thing to do... some people will do everything just to get money from others. i have pictures of my kids too posted on my blog... i dont know what i will feel if i find out that one of my kids pic is being used like that. i hope people are smart enough not to fall in scams like that. its just not right and not a smart thing to do to send money to people you dont really know yet, and making an adoption in craigslist?

the thought of that happening is frightning. i definately wont be posting any family pics on the web.

Good warning!It's crazy!
