Do You Post Pictures Of Your Children Online?

These days blogs and social networking sites are a huge part of our every day lives. Whether you use a personal blog as your platform to talk about your family’s life, facebook to post pictures of your kids or twitter to swap stories, everyone is on the internet.
But not everyone is on those same networks and places for the same reasons we are. Most likely there are some bad people on those sites trying to collect information or pictures for their own use.

You may have noticed that I don’t post pictures of my kids on my site. There are many times I would love to share a picture with you or a video of my kids, but my husband and I agreed we will not post pictures of our kids on a public forum.
An occasional picture of my kids fully clothed and not of their faces is all you will get on this blog.

What if you posted a innocent picture of your child at the beach, in your home or in your backyard and happen to find out later it has been posted on a child pornography site?

Raising The Bar on TNT that will be premiering tonight, Monday June 29Th at 10p.m. (ET/PT), will talk about this very subject:
“A father is arrested when an innocent photo he posted of his son in the bathtub finds it’s way onto a child pornography site.”
I have received an advanced copy of this episode and I have to say, it is a great episode and raises many questions.

I want to know if you post pictures of your children online and why? Also if you do post pictures do you edit those pictures in any way, only post certain pictures or do you say “to hell with it” and post whatever you want?
