Should Parents Be Considering Their Children's Privacy More On Social Media?

Today I was going through my facebook feed and came across a post regarding the kid of an acquaintance that gave me a bit of a pause. The content was of the usual fair I would expect a mother to be talking about to friends and family; showing her daughter's report card, talking about how her daughter was doing poorly in school until her doctors put her on medication, etc... But then I noticed that it was a public post available for all to see and comment on. I started wondering then, would this kid really want this stuff to be out in the open now or even later? This instance it wasn't particularly bad news but I started remembering other posts that I have seen over the years of parents detailing every moment in their children's lives and sharing them for anyone in the world to see; Pictures of their child at the dentist, pictures of their kid in a hospital bed after getting sick or hurt or videos after surgery when they are on heavy pain meds and saying potentially embarrassing things, anecdotes that seemed funny at the time to the parent but probably would make them blush later... Though not posted with bad intentions, all of these things could possibly follow a kid into adulthood. Admittedly, I don't have children myself. And perhaps as an adult that grew up in an age without social media I am ill fitted to be trying to understand the feelings of a generation growing up in an age of technology so different from my own where more and more things are open to be shared with the public, but I do think some matters of your kid's life should probably be kept private or left to family and friends. Not everything should be thrown into the spotlight. Thinking back to my middle school and high school years in particular, I would have been absolutely terrified of my peers getting their hands on some of the things I see. So what do you guys think? Do some parents go a little too far in sharing the lives of their family? For parents, how much do you tend to share with others publicly if you share anything at all?
