I believe that parents have a responsibility to know how their children handle things on the Internet and have an idea of how they could limit their actions.
In my opinion, parents should take into account what they upload from their children. Since in the future that can affect children since they would be old or new photos does not matter to children would not like to have photos of them would be embarrassed. But I still feel that it is privacy for the child or they could post something not good and it would bother them
In my opinion, this is a really complicated situation for many teens and children. This is because, many teens are very insecure about themselves and their bodies and they wouldn’t like no one to see pictures of them in a funny moment or showing a little too much of their body. There are many causes and problems that can happen if parents upload pictures of them on social media. There are many hackers and pedophiles out their who are looking on exposing teens which can be a cause parents to also get in big trouble. This is why parents shouldn’t post pictures of their kids in social media.
I think parents should be aware of all the risks that can happen on social networks when you post something that can be personal, for example, as well as identity theft, loss of privacy, unknown people can misuse your information, etc. In my opinion, parents can upload photos of their children but without risking so much personal information, this is because it could make many good moments remain recorded and those beautiful moments cannot be forgotten, but also be aware of all the risks.
I think that parents should consider their children's opinion more because their child may not like them uploading photos of him or it can damage their privacy.
I think what the parents should be not send images, photos, or videos about his Childrens without his consent because for they are very personal, and they don't want that his parents send that personal image about them without his consent, and is very dangerous what parents send a image about his Childrens because someone can do cyberbullying to the kid and expose personal information about the kid.
I thought maybe parents need to be considered the feeling and privacy of his soun into Publis into a social media and how they post he's face in a platform that don't have the authority of the child to posted.
I thought this was really interesting, because not only were the kids knowledgeable about what they were confronting their parents about, but they had a constructive and educating conversation addressing the problem, and discussed what they could do to resolve the issue with their parents, and that takes a lot of confidence. I also really love the way they integrated facts for the parents (and audience) throughout it, and help spread awareness that, yes, this is a serious problem and has unintended repercussions, like identity theft!
The thing that stood out to me the most was when one of the moms said, “If it’s not in Instagram it didn’t happen.” That really bothered me because being in the moment is way more important than sharing the moment on social media. I think in some ways it could be endangering, like if the account is public not private. But I don’t think it’s the worst think in the world. The parent should definitely ask their child first though.
I still don't understand why the parents would hide their social media accounts and pictures from their children. I would show my kids my stuff so I have nothing to hide from them.
This film talked about the safety risks of posting. It showed kids standing up to their parents and educating them about all of the risks of posting pictures without consent. I think it is really cool that my generation is showing awareness about social media privacy. They are explaining to their parents that it is okay to post pictures of them, but only if they have their consent. I really enjoyed that the parents and kids came together and made a safe and sound decision.

This film was about parents excessively posting pictures of their children without consent. It was interesting to me because sharing our entire lives on social media is an issue in society. I’m glad the kids were able to stand up and raise awareness for this topic. One time my dad posted a picture that I didn’t want him to post. It was of us working out at the gym, so I was sweaty and it was unnecessary to post. Otherwise, my parents are pretty good about not posting.
It shocked me when one of the mothers said, “It would honestly be depressing if I couldn’t document it for Insta. If it’s not on Insta, it didn’t even happen.” This is a real problem because some people don’t even live their own lives anymore; everything is just for looks. There is a loss of privacy that comes with this. Another problem is that parents are exposing their children to a higher possibility of identity theft and online fraud. At the very least, everyone should give consent before a picture of them is posted.
@Becky Girolami I completely agree with you about us not living regular lives, and how everything is for looks. How do you think we could eradicate this issue, and get others to be interested in eradicating this issue? I also agree with you that every parent should get consent from their child before posting online.

The perspective of this video is very interesting because in all other previous social media awareness videos, they were targeting the kids and saying how they were doing things to endanger their safety, but the parents were never mentioned. This is the first video that I've seen that also puts some of the blame on the parents, and I think that's good, because lots of parents post pictures that the kids would never post on their Instagram or Snapchat. These pictures could be seen by so many people that the kid does not want seeing. The kids definitely made good points by saying that the parents posted their private information, and that the parents could facetime or call instead of posting to inform relatives. However, there is a difference between posting to everyone and posting to private family and friends. If the parents approves who is viewing their posts, that is okay, but if the parent's account is public, I would say that it is not right.
i believe parents are putting their kids at risk by uploading a lot of information on social media but it all depends who follows their own account. for example if someone only lets their own friends or family follow them it could be a little safer but social media creators have access to all information even after it is deleted. something you can do to stop parents from oversharing is creating an account and posting many pictures of them could teach them more and see how they feel about having pictures of them online
This video was very eye opening to me because of the fact that a simple picture that your parents can share on social media can put you in a position of danger. The kids of all different ages conversing with their parents about sharing pictures of them and how it invades their privacy, i think is true because when parents post a picture online without asking them invades their privacy and can even be embarrassing to them. It can put them at risk without parents even knowing because of child predators having access to those pictures and sometimes even being able to track their location based on where and when the picture was taking.
@Jessica G I agree with you. And it makes me wonder how scary it must be for celebrities too. thousands of people take their pictures and post them online without their consent every day. Isn't that an invasion of privacy too? Do you think that celebrities and children should have the right to sue?
What I observed from this film was many different ways each child approached their mothers with the topic of sharing too much. I also saw the difference between the parents and how they reacted, some mothers were somewhat defensive. I feel that if your child is uncomfortable then stop because then they'll learn to allow other people to invade their privacy and make them feel uncomfortable.
I agree very much with the video and the information that it provides. Parents shouldn't be able to "sharent", or share their child's information on social media excessively. Sure, the parent wants to get out the fact that their kid looks cute or cool, or wants to put out the fact that their kid just won a prize or award.
However, there's something called a "digital footprint". Anything you do or post online stays there forever, and if you apply this to what these parents are doing shown in the video, it becomes a problem. Parents should respect their child's privacy.
If they don't, then they're possibly risking their child's life.
I somewhat agree with the statement of the video provided. My parent is also very infamous for posting photos of me when I did not give her direct consent to . Though I do not think much of the posts, it may directly impact my future. When you are out of high school and are trying to get admitted into colleges, they may see those photos and think negatively think of your application. The same goes for future employers, they can and will look at these posts when employing you and will think negatively about your application. Parents posting these photos are extremely detrimental to their future and can ultimately cause their downfall, and that is only looking at a standpoint that considers their child's future. It is bad at nearly every standpoint! Child predators are known for being active across social media platforms, especially on popular platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. So by showing these photos of your children without their consent is absentminded indirectly exposing them to child predators. So I highly discourage parents to share their child's photos without their consent as it can destroy their future.
I somewhat agree that the parents are endangering their kids when they post to much about them or when they post revealing photos about them. Showing revealing photos such as at the beach can be dangerous because child predators can appear. If it's just a photo such as a photo with your family at your birthday party then it's fine, but parents need to not "overshare" and post everything that happens in their kids lives, because some of these pictures can show their kids schools or even their own house, and this is dangerous because it can attract unwanted people.
Yeah, most of my life is shared on social media by my parents on Facebook and Instagram. I don't feel bothered by my parents posting pictures of me on Facebook because they have shown me that they have their accounts in a private setting, which means only certain people can view their posts. Those certain people are very close friends and family. I feel that it is a good way to connect to family members I have never met or close family friends. They can see my growth in every different picture my parents post.
Sometimes parents can endanger their children by sharing their location to others through photos they post or not having their accounts on private. Not having your account on private can allow anyone to view (including strangers), comment, follow your page and like your posts. But if a parent has their account on private they won't endanger their child because they can allow certain people to view, like and follow their page in general.
I sort of agree that parents sharing pictures and information about their kids online can be putting them in danger. My whole life wasn't shared online but my parents and family did post pictures online that I didn't necessarily like but it wasn't embarrassing I just didn't like it. I think that parents should already know a limit of what to share and not share online when it comes to their kids. Because their are weird people out there on the internet so parents need to be careful and aware. When they take a picture everyday every second that is to much but if they take one for the first day of school or a family weekend that is a different story. They should also ask if the kid would mind if they post the picture to the internet. I think that suing your parents over them posting a picture of you online is kind of too much.
I somewhat agree that the parents are endangering their kids when they post to much about them or when they post revealing photos about them. If the photo is innocent and shows something like a family photo then that is not dangerous. But some photos could show something that would reveal something about their children that other people/bad people could find which would put the child in danger. Also the parents can post pictures like them in a swimsuit or pictures of them when they were babies,maybe of when they were taking a bath or something like that this can be very dangerous.
For the most part i agree that parents are endangering their kids when they post too many revealing photos on their social media, when parents post a photo of a fun family outing or a vacation photo it's not that endangering. But when they post photos from the front of their house that could show the wrong people where they live or very revealing photos skin wise. I personally have have to deal with the struggle of my parents posting every living moment of my life on facebook.They have even posted pictures of me in a bathtub when i was little, but my brothers have it the worst now that my parents are more used the idea of social media. Both of my younger brothers have at least twice as many photos as me. Every waking moment of the day when they were little was documented on my parents phone their first steps, first word, everything. Their first few years of their life were posted on facebook. In the end I don't think that sharenting is that much of a problem but it can be

As a teen, I can relate to this situation. An obvious problem of technology and social media is the danger of putting your personal information ‘out there.’ However, I never expected to see an article and short film about children who are challenging their parent’s decisions of the pictures that are shared of them on the internet.
I take the parent’s side of this situation because I do not think these children should be calling out their parents. I have no say in what my own mother posts on her Facebook page. I also am not nosy enough to search for the content of her account. I never have had the urge to comb through her page or even her camera roll on her phone like these kids do.
The only situation highlighted in the video that is concerning to me is when the mother of Elmer posted a picture of his debit card. This picture gives out enough information for someone to steal his identity. I believe parents should be able to post any pictures on the internet and not have their kids question it.
My entire life has not been posted on Facebook, however, quite a lot of my life has been shared online. My parents shared my birthdays and different vacations on Facebook. In my opinion, parents could be putting their kids in danger by posting pictures and information depending on the situation. If a parent is private on Facebook I don't see the point in worrying about what the parents post. Even if the parent doesn't post their children or information on Facebook the children nowadays are likely to post it themselves. If anything the parents are doing it more safely than the kids anyways. I personally never had an issue with my parents posting me, I post myself, so why shouldn't they be able to? I think that parents should maybe ask permission to post some things, considering how some kids like their lives to be more private.
In my opinion, this is a very sensitive topic because of how the importance and seriousness of this topic can provide can vary. I believe that this can be a very serious and important subject matter for kids to be discussing and "sharenting" can be dangerous in different parts of the world and for different reasons. I can see why kids feel this way towards their parents posting too much information on the internet about them, everyone has the right to privacy and asking permission especially from their parents. Personally I have experienced my parents sharing some information online however not that often and not an abundant amount of information. So I don't have personal experience with excessive sharing however if I did have a problem I would most likely want to talk to my parents first and explain my concerns for the posts. As far as suing your parents on this matter seem extreme, based on the dangers that can arise from the post communicating with your parents can be an easier alternative (than suing). I appreciate the kids that spoke up against their parents on a matter that probably didn't concern them too much because it is important to the child. Especially when presenting your child's image on the internet parents need to be careful. I would want to know the specifics of a situation before further judging the extents necessary to reach justice on both ends since the extremes of this situation can be high in an especially dangerous media world now in days.
While this ongoing manner of parents posting vast amounts of 19 information about their children in popularity, it has its positives and negatives. A positive might include loved ones living farther away getting to know you in an efficient
way. Another positive of this habit is it being clear documentation of your child's life. On the other hand, sharenting also has negatives which are the main focus of the video. According to the short film, sharenting can lead to major invasions of privacy without consent. When parents post embarrassing pictures to an open page where strangers can see their child without their consent, then it can become an issue. Although I have not witnessed this first hand, I know other people whose parents post different milestones of their lives. They also had thoughts like the kids in the video. With the rise in social media, the trend of sharenting will continue to grow so in the end, I hope that parents at least get their children's consent before posting pictures of them to completely open platforms.
I somewhat agree with the statement that parents are endangering their kids by sharing information about them. I feel like parents should be able to share pictures of "a day out with the family" and stuff like that, but they shouldn't be able to post everything. I feel like if the person in the picture doesn't feel comfortable with that image being posted for the world to see the parents posting it should respect that. People these days have become very tech savvy and can do anything with a simple picture. Yes I know, not many people have the ability to do that, but it can happen if you're not careful.
Although I can see that it is embarrassing to have all of your baby pictures online, Sharing photos through social media is just the new normal. if the kids think the photo their parent shared about them is embarrassing then they need to understand that their parents are not trying to put them in danger, they are just simply trying to share photos of their kids that they love with friends and family. Sometimes parents have social media accounts because they are trying to stay "cool" and keep up with modern-day culture. Instead of harassing parents to take down photos kids think are embarrassing they should teach parents how to get better safety to try and avoid being hacked for an actual problem.
Cultures around the world are becoming centered around technology and social media. Social media is something that is a part of nearly everyone’s lives. People use social media to project and share their lives with others through pictures they share online. Each generation uses social media in a different way. Oftentimes, teenagers share their interests, hobbies, and/or events that go on in their lives through posting, and use it as something personal to themselves and their lives. Adults chose to use social media to show off their kids and “document” memories spent with their friends and families. Unlike teens, the older generations did not grow up with social media. Teens today, interact through social media just as much as they interact with people in person. They know more than anyone about the impacts that social media can have on themselves and others. The problem that this article is addressing is how children think their parents are sharing too much information about them online, without their approval. Social media is something that people enjoy using, so it is okay for parents to show pictures of their lives, as long as the people that are in the post, are okay with what they are posting. In this day in age, hacking and identity theft is becoming a bigger problem. There needs to be boundaries and precautions that everyone needs to take, including teens, not just parents.
I don’t agree that parents are endangering their kids by posting/sharing images and information on social media. My whole life has been documented online by my mom, and the only people that can access that information are her trusted friend, family, or work colleges. Even every few months my mom deletes the old work colleges that she hasn’t talked to in a long time to be extra safe. I understand where people are coming from when they don’t feel one hundred percent safe, but sometimes they just don’t like the photo or say it’s more skin than you would like to be showing. However, on the other hand, they are most likely taking and showing more revealing pictures on their social media themselves. Also, the kids are getting all defensive when in fact they take and post pictures of their parents without their consent as well. I believe that since parents brought us into this world, they should have the right to take and post as much as they want to and are not putting kids in danger all at the same time.
I respectfully disagree with the idea that parents endanger their children by posting photos/information about them online because in my opinion there's really nothing wrong with sharenting. Parents posting pictures of their children isn’t bad, it’s just their way of trying to show people what’s happening in their lives or milestones in the lives of their children. Kids are constantly sharing photos of themselves online, so if they were really worried about their pictures being used by someone else or having someone think about them in an inappropriate manner, than they should also stop posting their own pictures. The only time where it’s not appropriate to share pictures of their children online is when the child is naked and they are over the age of 3. I personally don’t think that sharenting is a problem.
I slightly agree that parents endanger their children by sharing images and information about them on social media. Parents should be able to take pictures of their kids at certain times to help remember the memories made on that day incase they forget or just want to relive the moment. Social media allows for parents to have and store photos somewhere for not only them but also close friends and family to see. Although, certain pictures can endanger children. For example if a parent takes an embarrassing picture and posts it on a public page, students from their child’s school might see it and start to bully them. Another example could be them taking pictures of their children’s personal information to share them with friends which could lead to identity theft if the right information is shown, it can also lead to kidnapping or stalking if their location is being shared. Another thing that could happen would be if they post slightly inappropriate images of their children, pedophiles could get to it and use it in wrong ways. With all these dangers parents should try to be more careful and ask for their child’s permission before they post a photo.
I agree that is is possible for parents to put their kids at risk by sharing information and images of them on social media. Parents have a right to document their kids' and the adventures they go on, so that the children and parents will have a chance to remember those happy memories when they forget it and to document their lives for themselves and other people. Social media is essentially a digital photobook for some families. Parents share those photos so that friends and family who do not usually see the family have a way to see them and stay in touch. On the other hand, the children should have a right to be worried because the images and information can spread on the internet and can end up in a bad place. If these up in the wrong places, the kids are exposed to crimes, like identity theft. And a lot of the time, the parents do not get their kids’ permission to share the photos.
In the film “If You Didn’t ‘Sharent,’ Did You Even Parent?” I agree with the statement that parents endanger their children by sharing images and information about them on social media. I feel like if children don’t give their parents their consent, their parents should not post their pictures. Children don’t like when their parents post embarrassing or inappropriate pictures, like in the film when the girls mom posted a picture of her daughter in a bathing suit Their children could be at risk of identity theft and also having people they don’t even know seeing their pictures and thinking things about them they don’t want people to think. But parents should be able to share the pictures of their kids in situations like a vacation or like a celebration. Parents should be able to share pictures of their kids with family, but I feel like children get uncomfortable when pictures of them are getting shared to people they don’t even know, like friends of their parents.
I agree with the statement that parents endanger their children by sharing images and information about them on social media for many reasons. An example of this is shown in this week’s Film Club: “If You Didn’t ‘Sharent,’ Did You Even Parent?” In the video, one of the kids draws a fact that states that by the age of two, 90% of children already have an online presence. This means that before an individual is able to decide about their own privacy, parts of their life is already shared to the public. This can endanger them because, with easy hacking or other technological skills, many strangers can access personal information about them against their will or knowledge. Furthermore, many individuals fear their lack of privacy because if hacking or access to information becomes easier or simpler, much non-shared information can be found or discovered.
I barely agree with this statement. It highly depends on the picture that parents depend to post. Most of the time the pictures that parents want to post are for close friends and family, they have no intent to cause harm or humiliate their children, but share the memories of their children for friends, family, and the future. There is a boundary for what photos are acceptable to post, but if it doesn't past that boundary then it's not a big deal.
I agree that parents do endanger their children by sharing images and information. I agree because certain pictures that expose information like a drivers license or a birth certificate could danger the child’s identity and the child's identity could get stolen. In the video it states that “sharenting” could account for up to 7 million incidents of identity theft and over $800 million in online fraud. This shows what one picture could do to someone, even if they are young. This means that the people that hack these children can also hack into other things and reveal a lot about that child which could ruin that child’s future. Even though parents might be trying to show their children because of how happy they are or them, it doesn’t mean that the picture that they have taken will not danger that child.
My dad has facebook but my mom does not. If you go on his facebook you will find pictures of my sisters and me when we were younger. I disagree with this statement parents just love their kids and they just wanna show the world how amazing their kids are. Kids of course would see that in a bad way but they are kids I mean wouldn't you be embarrassed if your parents posted a picture of you with spaghetti sauce all over your face. Who wouldn't be? But it's one of those scenarios where you just have to forgive and forget their parents did it to them so they are going to want to do the same thing to you only because they love you. For example my father once posted a picture of 7 year old me with neon purple lip gloss all over my mouth and only about 30 of his friends saw it. One of the parents happened to be one of my guy friends I knew from 1st grade, till this day whenever put lip gloss around him he always teases me about that picture. But that doesn't make me mad at my parents because I find it funny whenever I find pictures like those and we all just laugh about it today.
I partially agree that parents are endangering their kids by posting things about them to an extent. It's ok if they post an accomplishment or a birthday but by posting pictures of them in bathing suits or without their consent on some pictures that show more skin than usual should be decided by the kids. There are many disgusting people out there that might use this in the wrong way and start using the pictures to try to get something. It also increases their chance of being abducted by posting where you are on a vacation it endangers them because most likely your daughter/son just want to have fun and aren't really paying attention around them because they think they are safe. And somebody can easily find them and take them. But posting things is not bad if the parents post them after a while or trying to celebrate something because you are not posting inappropriate pictures that might be used against their child.
I agree that is is possible for parents to endanger their kids by sharing images and information about them on social media. Parents have a right to document their kids' and the little adventures they all go on, so that both parties will have a way to remember happy memories when they forget it and to document their life for themselves and other people. Social media is essentially a digital photobook for some families. Parents share those photos so that family and friends who don't usually see the family have a way to see them. However, the kids have a right to be concerned because the information and pictures can spread virtually everywhere and can end up in the wrong place. If ended up in the wrong places, the kids are opened to crimes, like identity theft and pedophilia. And most times, the parents don't get consent from their kids to share the photos.
No my entire life is not shared on Facebook by my parents even though here and there they will post a picture of our family as a group when we go to parties or events. In my opinion, I honestly don’t see what’s wrong with parents posting pictures of their kids. However I do understand how kids feel about parents posting pictures of them without their permission because parents can sometimes post pictures that us kids don’t want other people to see. Pictures that we might think is embarrassing or we don’t look good in. But parents just see this as another memory that they will have from us. Also parents aren’t necessarily endangering their children by posting pictures of them. However if they post information their child then that’s when they are endangering their child. Besides, most kids in this generation have social media and post pictures of themselves.
I don't have much of personal experience with the issue of 'sharenting', my parents did not share my entire life on social media. In fact, my father is the only one who uses any form of social media and that has only started recently. However, if I were one of those children whose whole life was shared on social media I too would be very uncomfortable and wish that any post relating to me would be taken down. Children should have the power to refuse and accept what is posted about them on social media because this is an invasion of their privacy and even if those posts are private they can still be hacked and leaked online. Children can be endangered when parents show pictures and information about them. These posts can lead to identity fraud, digital kidnapping and makes it easier to be spotted by peodophiles. Parents have argued by saying how these posts are important memories and I believe that having a limited amount of posts with the child's consent is perfectly safe, but oversharing can lead to dangerous consequences for the child that is not worth a 'like.'
My parents post on social media, but I don't think it is as much as other people's parents so I agree with this statement, but I also disagree. I agree because if your parents take an embarrassing photo of you and try to post it online, even if they don't think it's embarrassing I still think they should ask you first. I disagree however because I don't think our parents would purposely post anything that could endanger us on the internet. Posting online is also a great way to keep in touch with friends and family so they can see what is going on in our lives.
My dad has facebook and instagram, my mom doesn't instead she uses my dad's account. Personally I don't really like it when my parents are posting on social media every little thing we do but if they do it's not that big of a deal. I don't feel like my entire life is on social media maybe just snippets but for the most part no. My parents don't put everything on social media because at the same time they believe it's toxic and just putting everything on social media is an invasion of our privacy, when we do things we should just live in the moment. I believe that by parents sharing images of their children isn't endangering them but putting personal information it is. For the most part just sharing images and posting them isn't necessarily endangering the lives of the children, but there is more of a possibility of getting an identity stolen or being hacked
I'm lucky to say that my parents don't post as much as other parents do on social media. I would say they probably don't post too much about themselves either because they know the dangers of social media and the internet in general. What's the danger you might ask, well the danger is that anyone can hack you and steal your identity and any/all private information you have. Hackers, in my opinion, are the scariest thing on the planet. They can hack into your facebook and sell your identity, credit card info, address, and much more. That's why I believe parents are endangering their kids by posting pictures of them on social media. It's not them to blame because they don't know as much about the internet as we do, its relatively new to them. So it's our job to inform parents about the amount of problems picture can cause in someone's life, even if the effects aren't instant they can affect you 20 years later on your first job interview for example or you could just get your identity stolen, at the press of a button.
I relate to this so much because my mom puts everything on facebook. But I do not believe that it is hurting anything or anyone by posting me. I have had my whole childhood on social media or facebook so I think that it would be nice to have everyone see what is going on in your life or how you are growing up. Like my family lives about 18 hours away from me and I only see them at christmas or winter break, and in the summer. So I think it is a good way for them to see how you are doing, what might be going on, and if you look any different from the last time they saw you. But I would like if she asked first before she posts a picture. Because they might be embarrassing, but I still know that she loves me and that she did not mean it.
For as long as I can remember my mom has been documenting my life online. From the first days of school to family dinners to me trying to sleep, nothing was off-limits. And although it has always been annoying I knew it came from a good place. I don't believe parents are purposefully endangering their children by posting them online. But it is a risk to post pictures of children online. On the other hand, even if parents stopped posting their children I'm sure the kids would still be posting themselves online.
My entire life is not shared on my parents social media mainly because my dad doesn't have social media. My mom has facebook and instagram and she does put things of me and my sibling but she doesn't do it often if she does it a group photo of our family or things of me and my siblings when we were younger. Parents are not endangering their children by posting photos of them because parents know what right and wrong to post on social media so if they thought it would harm their child in any way i doubt they would post it. Parents wont purposely post something wrong of their children on social media because they care and love them. But if parents are purposely post pictures or videos of your private information or something personal with you asking them not to and they still do I would consider that as endangering them but if it just a family photo or group photo i don't think that would cause harm to them.
For me personally, my parent does not take any pictures of me and post them on any social media sites like Facebook or Instagram. Taking pictures of your children and posting them online may seem harmless to some parents because they just want to show how special they are. On the jand, you have to be careful about what kind of pictures online. In today's world people will expose and share things. It doesn't hurt to ask your child if they think the picture should go up not.
I can strongly relate to the kids with their life being put on Facebook but in my opinion, I don't think its that big of a deal. In my situation its always been back to school or award photos that normal parents would share online for their friends and family to see to show how proud they are of their child's accomplishments. Any parent would definitely not take the risk of endangering their child's safety to all these people on the internet, listening to the two teenagers give their thoughts upon safety with posting certain images online,I can agree with the child if him/her doesn't want a certain picture for many people to see and I feel like parent would understand that but to ask for permission for every photo to be posted online doesn't make sense. To me all the parents want to do is just document their child growing up and to share his/her's achievements in life.
One scene in this film that stood out to me the most was when the little girl was talking about how she doesnt want her mom posting photos of her without consent. I thought this part was interesting cause when i was around that age i didn't know the first thing about the online world. Well i did think that no one's argument in all 3 debates were very good, like the debate at the end when the mom says that she likes posting pictures of her cause yea? Than the daughters follow up is to name some fact about france which doesn't strengthen he argument at all. I will understand from this film the importance of obtaining consent, but in the end the law says otherwise. I still ponder what the parents actions were after the interview. Well when i was younger my dad took pictures of my life constantly, but if anything i enjoyed it, but i guess everyone does not feel the same way.
With "sharenting" I think it has its ups and downs, if a parent is taking pictures of their child all the time and posting them constantly without the child's consent and giving descriptions of where they are and what they're doing I feel like that's over stepping. My mom always had facebook and has been posting almost every little moment all the time, and she never asks me and sometime i'll see her on the computer on her facebook posting images that I for sure did not consent to. I do get upset when she does that cause I don't want relatives or my moms friends to know every little thing about my life and with the risk of personal things out there its scary to think that someone could do something with that. I ask them politely to not post everything and yet they still do. Parents can be putting their children at risk with posting everything online from us in school or with our friends or doing anything really. If parents posted like little posts once in a while like maybe once a twice a month that would be so much better and if they keep it simple just like photos of us hanging out I feel like that'd be okay but when they are constantly posting all the time about every little thing it could become dangerous and there's moments that should be kept private rather than being blasted on social media.
I agree that parents are endangering their own children due to posting them online on social media. No matter how harmless the photo or video is, the parents should always give consent from the child to post it. For example, in the video, Elmer says that one of the posts that were posted by his mother shows when he got his first credit card but in the photo it showed the address, which can give away a lot of things. Also, having a private account to share posts to friends and family can get hacked and then your privacy is gone. For example, in the video the girl in the video said to her mom that her mom posted a photo of her in her bathing suit but the mother said that she has a private account which no one else except family and friends can see it. Even though it is private, someone can hack into it and the privacy is gone.
I wouldn't say my entire life is shared online by my parents, but a large portion is, especially by my mom. She posts a lot of pictures but at the same time is great about not posting something if I ask her not to. If she does happen to post something, like a photo or certain personal information, without asking me first and I don't like it she's also very great about respecting my personal wishes and deleting the post or picture. While I do believe parents could potentially endanger their kids by posting images and information on social media, they'd never do so intentionally. I also think parents can over share sometimes and which can potentially endanger their kids, but a parent would never do this intentionally they're just excited share their kids with everyone else and tend not to think about oversharing.
I both agree and disagree with the film. While my entire life has not been shared on Facebook, I believe that children have the right to be the main creators of their digital footprints. Parents should at least ask permission from their kids before posting, especially photos. But at the same time, parents should be allowed to share their kids lives with their family and friends, who may not get to see them in real life. This topic is controversial because as minors, kids don’t usually have the authority to tell their parents what they can and can’t post. Parents are in fact endangering their children by sharing images and information online because parents have a tendency to not realize what my embarrass their kids. On a more serious note, parents may accidentally leak private information about their kid's lives online, which can lead to identity theft. One thing I enjoyed about this film was that after the kids talked to their parents about how they felt and presented information, the parents agreed to be more mindful of the effect their online presence had on their kids lives. If more parents saw this film, perhaps they would be more cautious as well.
I don't believe parents are necessarily "endangering" their children. I believe that yes, from the children's perspective it may be embarrassing for certain things their parents post. Considering the fact that if the photo gets into someone hands that they wouldn't like it if it did. It could cause conflict or embarrassment. It is understandable why parents would want to share these photos with their friends and family on the internet, because they want to share exciting parts of their lives with everyone. But as a child that has parents who do the same, I don't want to be posted all the time over things I didn't even know they were going to share let alone things I wouldn't be comfortable with people from school seeing.
I disagree that parents are putting their children in danger because parents probably wouldn't put their own child in danger; unless the picture is showing where they live or anything like that, then the parents themselves would be putting themselves in danger also. Most photos parents put up of their kids are memories they want to cherish forever and that might not do any harm to their child. While posting pictures on the internet can be risky, if the parent is cautious then the childs safety will be fine. Even though my mom has been posting pictures of me on social media for most of my life, I don't feel like my private information is at risk because there's only so much personal information an embarrassing photo can have. But, I feel like parents should at least ask their kids if they can post a picture of them because it's the least they can do.
while it makes sense that they can have anything important on them about addresses, etc. I do think sometimes the parents do things the children wouldn't necessarily want to be the first thing people think about them when they see them online. Now I never see anyone share my things on facebook because they just didn't think of it until I could be a person with a sense of what they're doing in a moment. It can be endangering especially if the media they use says, EX: Photo Taken in Apopka Florida. You never know what one person could do with anything over that.
Now we all know that our parents love sharing memorable moment or adventures or embarrassing pictures of us. They may not see it in a way of endangering us a s children but as in a way of showing friends or family how we are doing. Sharenting is the overuse of social media by parents to share content based on their children like baby pictures or activities. My mom loves sharing photos of me and my sister when we are were younger and growing up.most parent should think twice of what they may be posting of their children on social media . The reason I say this is because your child could get identity fraud or the child may have a hard time developing a sense of self since their parents have already done that for them. Just remember that you should ask your child before you post something of them, they may have a different view on the picture than what you may have.
In the video "If You Didn't 'Sharent', Did you even Parent?" the kids argue if parents have a right to post their children's photos on social media sites like Facebook. I personally disagree with this statement because parents are just trying to show others their appreciation and their love for their child.My parents post pictures of me all the time but they wouldn't post anything that would put me in danger. My parents would not post pictures of me with my address in the back.Although my parents document my whole life they do know their limits.I do believe that parents may go a little overboard with the pictures and posts of their own children.
This topic interests me because it is a subject that should be bring into the light cause it can cause many problems for that person later on. Like if the account has a picture that certain people can think of you in a certain way and has your information, strangers or creeps can hunt you down or stalk you without you knowing or if it's something bad it can ruin your chances to go to college or male people think lowly of you. Though it's your parents they're talking about, why would they even do something like that, exactly they wouldn't. But not everyone needs to know everything about you so it's sorta debatable.
After watching this video i don't thibk that parents are putting their kids in danger by posting them on social media. Parents only share pictures online with their friends and family, and you would probably share these things with them anyThat is why i think it is ok for parents to share things about their kids online.
In the film "if you didn't Sharent did you even parent?" it discusses the topic of parents posting pictures of their children online. The film sets an interview with the parent and the child to discuss the topic. Each one of the children isn't happy about their moms putting their photos online without consent with them first. Parents are endangering their kids by posting them on social media. Kids are being put in danger when posted on social media because of predators and frauds. Although for me my life isn't put on social media at all, unlike these children.
I feel like what the kids are saying is right because they should not have pictures online that they did not want online. They could feel as though there privacy is being corrupted and that they have no rights over the pictures that are taken of them. Most of your childhood is shared by your parents. Even if you feel that you did not want the picture online they still share it to others. And even if you do not care if it was online or not they still do not ask for your consent which makes you feel that you do not have control over your pictures and where they are sent and uploaded to. Just like the young girl said it did not really matter that she uploaded it online or note it had everything to do with consent. And there are plenty pf other ways for your parents close friends to see and hear you besides social media. this includes calling, facetiming, visiting, etc. Another thing that is troublesome to kids and young teens is that sometimes the pictures going online are pictures they are uncomfortable with people seeing and they feel like people might use it for something bad or that they might see you for something you would not be okay with the thinking. And sometimes you just are not ready for the picture or you had your shirt off and your not okay with your chest being shown for thousands of others to see and access whenever and wherever they feel like. Parents can sometimes make kids uncomfortable because to much of the kids pictures go online that they don't want shown.
I agree that parents shouldn't post lots of pictures of their children online without their consent because there can be a lot of creeps, and stalker lurking on your page so its not a good idea to put your child's info/personal life out into the world. Like if you post a picture of your child's first day of school, with the school name in the back then some stranger can look at the post and easily kidnap the child.
I agree with this argument because some parents might not know the limit of what their child wants on any social media platform. Parents may not realize how much information they are actually releasing online. Also with any private information released, it just takes one hacker to leak all of your information through any of your parents profile. This may endanger the child but the parent doesn't think anything of it. They think they what they are posting is completely harmless and just for fun so the whole family can see what's new with the family. This should not mean that parents can never post anything about their child, this just means that there are limitations on what a parent can post and if they have to then ask the child if you can post this on social media. I myself have been posted on Facebook by my parents although nothing has ever happened to me or any threat to cause concern, I can still see why some kids don't want to have their parents release any pictures of them. My parents always ask me to help them post whatever picture they wanna post so I can check if anything is wrong with any of the pictures and if I don't want this posted on Facebook. Always check with the child if you yourself is not sure if this is releasable.
No, I feel like yes they might put too much pictures of you online that you don't want to be there but your ENTIRE life is really not shared because i'm sure the internet doesn't know your birthday from month to day to year. Also, your full name is probably not on the internet from first to middle to last.
There is a possibility that there are putting their child at risk because they are many stalkers out here and hackers that will endanger children.
As a antisocial teen who HATES pictures of me being taken, I agree wholeheartedly. From when I was a little baby all the way to now, my mother has been posting pictures of me. I never wanted to take my picture but she kept on insisting, and so I joined the pictures willingly. I believe parents are endangering their children by posting photos of them without their consent because any 'bad people' could just see the photos and think about 'bad things'. Also, the photo could contain something the parent might deem okay but the child might not think the same.
No because my parents don't use or have facebook or any other social media.
Yes because they might share some kind of picture with something the child wouldn't want.Also because they might expose to much of their personal life and maybe information about the children.
I agree with this video and what its trying to say. My parents insist on posting every photo of me they take. I ask them to please not post it, yet they do anyways. Of course, it's also what is in the photo. However it is less about what is in the photo, its about who is in it and whether they want it up. I don't want my entire life documented if possible to stop it.
Not to mention, if a parent doesn't pay attention they can bring risk to their children. A saying of your school, where your moving, your house. Documents that show personal information, can be leaked through them as well. Leaving their children left open too different attacks on their person or property.
If You Didn’t ‘Sharent,’ Did You Even Parent? Is about parents taking photos of you and putting them on the iternet without your consient. My teacher asked me this questionAre parents endangering their children by sharing images and information about them on social media? I said no, because these kids probably have social media and post pictures of themselves. But for the little things like first day or school shouldnt really matter if you like it or not.
I disagree with this statement, because I don’t think that parents would purposely put something on social media that would endanger their children. When parents post pictures on any social media, they obviously look at the pictures before posting it, and if they see something that can endanger their children, like personal information or something inappropriate, they wouldn’t post it. The most common type of pictures I’ve seen posted by parents are group pictures and pictures that everyone in the picture knows is being taken. Saying that parents are endangering their children by posting about them on social media, is exaggerated. Parents don’t want to hurt or embarrass their children, so I personally don’t think that parents are endangering their children by sharing images and information about them on social media. However, when a child tells their parents that they don’t want a certain picture on social media because personal information is being shown in that picture or there’s something inappropriate, and they still post it, I consider that endangering their children.
The need for a constant update on everyone lives seems to be an important part of a person's day. From a recent vacation to a simple outing with their friends, each person seems to have a certain moment that they would like to share. Yet sometimes people take unintended photos that may have come without consent and caused an issue on whether or not people should be able to pst their family members to social media sites without telling the focus of the photos. One of the biggest culprits to this are parents who are looking to take a quick picture to make a memory. Some children have come out to say that they don't feel comfortable with their parents snapping photos and posting them to social media sites such as Instagram and Facebook for all to see. In one perspective, the non-consensual usage of their children's photos feels uncomfortable to them and raises the question of who sees the photo and what they do with it. Some kids even say that they want the picture to be taken down. Parents counter this by saying that people will act strangely regardless if they post the picture or not. The use of the photo will differ from person to person.
In the film "The Story of an Art Fair" demonstrates how because technology was not a big thing back then but because of the development of technology. We have the internet which has been something that people have enjoyed and cherish moments on. For instance, the video shows that kids whose privacy has been invaded by their parents. The parents see it as treasuring precious memory but what surprises me is that they did not feel the need to do these in the earlier ages of time. This is because of this new digital era or time period. We feel the need to record or have memories all the time.
Personally, I don’t think parents sharing photos of their children is not as big of a deal as the video made it to be. It is understandable why parents would share these photos onto the internet. Many want to be able to look back at these photos and remember the good times and some wants to share the fun with others. I think the kids should talk to their parents personally if they dislike a photo that is being shared. Of course, people should be careful of what they are sharing onto the internet, but stuff parents usually shared on the internet is not endangering them. But I do think parents should be more considerate to their children about posting their pictures onto social media, things that parents may not find embarrassing may be embarrassing to the child. Something that I don’t understand is what is so dangerous of a photo of someone as a child. That may be the reason why I don’t see the big deal of ‘sharenting’.
I agree with the idea that parents should not post every photograph that they take without consent. Parents do have a right to post pictures because as they said in the film, if it isn’t documented, did it even happen? However, there is an extent to what they post. Parents often feel as if they have a right to post every picture they take, to gain a laugh or a like but the child’s opinion should always be taken into consideration. I agree with the fact that posting unconsented photographs is annoying, but it can also be dangerous. For example, posting a picture of a college acceptance letter may sound amazing to a parent, but what happens if the address happens to be in the image as well. The statistics in the video showed that fraud and identity theft issues have increased. along with the increase of posts. Parents aren’t always looking at the images the way children see them, and that can lead to bad circumstances.
I agree that overall, parents can and usually do endanger their children by sharing images and information about them on social media, but it's usually only in cases where the parents share the photos with the general public, and not just in private. In the video, you can see that some of the mothers don't completely share photos with the public, only with close family and friends, and while I do agree that their accounts can be easily hacked, in general it seems ok. But parents still should not post pictures of these children without their consent, especially when sharing with anyone other than close friends or immediate family. It can be extremely embarrassing for many, and sometimes can even mess with your public image in the future. Overall, it's easy to just ask before you post anything, and see if your kid is ok with it, and if they're not, you just don't post it.
I agree with the fact that parents endanger their children by sharing images and information about them on social media to a certain extent. Most parents post their kids so that other family members and friends can see it. They see their child as beautiful no matter what, but the kids might not see it that way. Kids don't like a lot of the pictures that their parents post of them. They find them embarrassing. The pictures could be found as inappropriate. For example, one of the girl participants found it inappropriate for her mother to post a picture of her in her bathing suit. The mother tried to justify but the cons outweighed the pros. A lot of kids just want their parents permission to approve. Like the 7 year old who said that its not about the picture, but more about the approval. Most of the parents agreed to their children's compromises.
I agree with the statement that parents endanger their children by sharing images and information about them on social media. Sharing images and information about someone without their consent is a complete violation of their privacy. Therefore, if a parent wants post a picture of their child on social media, they should first get consent from their child. With this, the child will be able to pick and choose what they are okay with and what they aren't okay with being posted on social media. In today's society, it's dangerous to post an abundance of personal information because of hackers. Personal information that parents post about their children could be taken from someone else and misused, which would have serious negative consequences. Furthermore, children are better informed about the internet than their parents are. Therefore, some parents may not have the knowledge about what is safe to post on the internet, In conclusion, parents do endanger their children by sharing images and information about them on social media.
Parents are not harming their children by sharing a part of their lives on social media. But this does depend on the extent of the situation. There needs to be an understanding that, like the parents their children have a social media presence as well. So a way to avoid this conflicting ideas of whether posting pictures of their children could harm them, there should be a consensual agreement to do so. This is because everyone has the right to protect their privacy. Another good point that was made is that these pictures that are shared on a private account, can still be hacked and used for malicious intent.Another point that was defeated is the need to post every major part of their lives. It is a fun and fast way to interact with people who could not be there in that moment. But just because it was not documented does not mean that you were not there, you did not enjoy yourself, or that there was no point in going. With this in mind, it would be best to not share any personal information about them, because in the vast world of social media anyone can obtain that information.
I believe that parents endanger their children when they post pictures of them on social media to a point. I think parents should get consent from their children starting at the age of around 7 and up and that they shouldn’t post things that could damage their “face”. Children know and days understand social media better and the dangers of it better than anyone else and so they want their parents to be more cautious about what they post. However, a lot do parents don’t take their opinion into consideration and when parents do that it could have consequences. When parents post things, they post it for the memories but everyone has access to it now it could affect their child’s life. However I think that certain pictures are fine, such as if you can’t see their face or if they are still babies. Not only should parents be careful and considerate about what they post about their children, children on social media should as well.
In this modern age of technology almost everybody has at least one source of social media. There are also children who have almost their whole life documented on a social media platform. This also raises a concern to many people that parents are endangering their children through posting images with them in it. My extent on this topic is that parents will only be endangering their children if they post an inappropriate photo of them. Everything else to me is fine. This is common sense as well because if you do post an inappropriate photo of your child online there will be people who would do things with that photo you wouldn't like as a parent. If you don’t post those kind of things then everything else to me is fine. Everything else like posting a photo of your child graduating or a photo of your child playing in the backyard is fine. I for one am an expert in this field. If there is an opportunity for a photo moment, my parents would take it. Then after that they would post that picture online. That is fine with me because the only people that would be able to see that photo is my family and close friends.
I agree that parents are endangering their children by sharing pictures and information about them on social media. For example, in the film, one of the teens Elmer talked about how when he got his debit card hacked because a picture was posted about it. This indicates social media can be very dangerous because if he didn’t find out he could have ended up having no more money. Another example is how it invades children's personal space in the video it talks about how the teens felt uncomfortable about their parents posting a picture of them shirtless and in a bikini, this shows how because it's on social media anyone can see the picture even if you on private and if that phone is leaked then, someone can find more information about them and potentially cause them harm in the process. To conclude, this is why sharing personal information on social media can cause harm to a kid.
@Aashna I agree to an extent because it can become a thing where others viewing the children may have negative ideas. This a big thing in this age of time because internet security may not always be valid.
The Film Club: ‘If You Didn’t ‘Sharent,’ Did You Even Parent?’' discusses children's concerns with privacy violations from their parents. They strongly believe that their parents should ask for consent before posting a photo of them, no matter how harmless the photo may seem. Not only out of courtesy, but also because nothing is safe on the internet. Identity theft is a huge issue and caused by parent's 2/3 of the time. Personally, I don't think it's really about being hacked though. One of the teens told her mom she didn't want her posting photos of her in a bikini, but she probably posts them on her own social media, like a lot of teens. I think it's more about consent and having control of how you're perceived by others. I somewhat agree with the above statement, because although I believe you should ask before posting a photo of someone, regardless if it's your own child, I also don't think it's that big of a deal. Just ask your kid before posting a photo of them, to show that you respect them as an individual.
I agree with this statement because parents post a lot about their children on social media. As children grow older and they learn about social media, they also learn about how they should be cautious about what they post on there. For example, when they grow up and go for a job interview, the people interviewing them will look at their social media. They will look at what you post and everything. This can be a problem when your parents post embarrassing photos of you. If your parents post everything on social media, they might see things you don’t want them to see. Another example is that there can be a problem with privacy. Hackers can hack your account and get all the private information. Hackers can use the pictures of you to figure out certain things and they try to hack your account. If they get a hold of your information, they can open bank accounts, steal your identity, make payments, and many more. To conclude, parents sharing images and information about their children can endanger then.
I somewhat agree with what the film club is discussing about how parents could be endangering their children by posting information about them on social media. I think that it depends on the situation, for example, if your parent asks you for your permission to post something and you say yes they can post it then I don't think that it's really a big deal, due to the fact that you approved your mom for being able to share your own information on social media. However, if your parent posts information that you do not want out in the open on social media for others to see, then that could be endangering. I say this because you could know someone or be more afraid of someone hacking or gathering this information about you, and maybe even using it against you, as it could be more revealing or risky. I feel like as long as your parents respect your privacy and get your consent before posting something about you then little to no harm will or could be done.
Ever since social media has been a thing, parents have been taking and posting pictures of their children online. So this is not a problem… Right? Parents should not post pictures of their children online because they are endangering their child's privacy.
To begin with, they are endangering their child’s privacy. Even though a harmless thing such as taking and posting pictures of a child and posting them online may not be a big deal, it actually is. A child could have their identity hacked, or a picture of them in a bikini could be stolen for something that was not the purpose of posting that photo. Without even knowing it, parents around the world are endangering their children just so they could “show their family and friends that they are having a good time during vacation”.
To conclude, parents are risking their own child’s privacy just to show what a good time they are having.
I mostly don't agree with this because having an embarrassing picture online really is not going to harm you, yes it may be embarrassing if others see the pictures but is it really going to hurt you if your parents post bad pictures. While I may feel this way I do understand how some people are worried about identity theft and other bad things but, realistically that does not happen all that often and it most likely it won't happen to you specifically if it is just through pictures. If you lived your life worrying about what could go wrong you just wouldn’t be able to live because at every second you could be in danger but if you worry about that you could not do anything with your life, for instance it is possible that your heart just stops from some disease you can’t even pronounce but you don't think about that while your trying to live your life so why worry about the pictures that get posted on facebook.
