Even though the LOs and photos are innocent, when put in to a gallery like that they become something completely different. That is so disturbing. Great advice and links in the comments to.

IKWYM about ...((((Hugs)))) I hate to read that... IKWYM about feeling violated since I've had two similar experiences. One -- I took a belly pic of myself that some creepy guy made a 'favorite'. Turns out he had favorited several pics of very pregnant women and, get this, he had a fetish for dressing up HIMSELF as a pregnant woman! Two -- A completely innocent pic of my 2 yr old during potty training (you couldn't see A. THING.), yet someone had favorited it, just like my belly pic. I checked the rest of his favorites. MORE little girls going potty. SEVEN PAGES WORTH! I contacted several of the other parents thru the site's messaging and I also contacted Flikr who promptly deactivated the users account.<BR/><BR/>In both instances I deleted the pictures and after the second time (shame on me, right?!) I put almost all of them to 'private'. I try really hard to NEVER put anything on the net that would ID me or my exact location or my family's names. My LOs do show my kids faces but they don't have any info they could use to track us/them down.<BR/><BR/>The main thing is, if you don't want people knowing it, don't put it on-line *regardless* of whether you think it's a secure site or not.

Recently someone faved one of my photos on Flickr and when I went to see who it was and what sorts of photos they had fave'd, they had fave'd women cleaning up we floors. One after the other, with mops or rags drying up wet floors. Apparently, the barefoot ones were supposed to be even sexier. The photo I posted was ridiculous (you may have seen it on my blog) and here someone found it in a search and thought it was fappable material and saved it as a favorite. <BR/><BR/>A couple weeks ago, my coworker noticed that someone fave'd one of her photos. She was in a full body wetsuit out on some boat. Nothing fancy or sexy, just her in a wetsuit (and we all know wetsuits are not flattering as they add more girth!). Well, she was getting TONS of hits from a website where they posted a link to it. Apparently this site has a SCUBA/snorkel fetish. I. Kid. You. NOT.<BR/><BR/>So stuff like that makes me scratch my head and edit my settings on individual basis, but like you, I will not let it affect my online life. If I had kids to worry about, their identities would be worth protecting, but it is way too late for me, and in all honesty, I chose not to care about it. I am an adult and I can make that decision. You are doing the right thing for your kids, and I commend you for it.Anitzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307933079813738267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298425427463857486.post-3651878429487951642008-10-20T13:47:00.000-04:002008-10-20T13:47:00.000-04:00Oh Beth!

It is for this reason that I work under an alias & do not post my name, childrens names, or where we live. There are too many sick people out there to take chances with our childrens lives.
