"Sorry, XYZ, you can't be in this picture because your mother is a paranoid person and I plan on posting this on facebook showing how proud I am of my daughter and her team. So, as far as she's concerned you don't exist...And when I send this to the newspaper (which I always do when they get trophies) I can't have you in there either."

That might be mean and/or rude, but it is exactly what I'd do. Kids are just mouthy enough today that the kid will immediately turn around and give the parent hell. Kids love being in those kinds of photos.

Many of these same kids that the parents are wigging out over pictures of their kids on the internet are posting all kinds of wild shi---errr stuff on their own Facebooks. I recently went to a parent over something I saw on his kid's Facebook. He had no clue the kid had a Facebook, and had actually said he wasn't allowed to have one.

If these same pictures were in the newspaper - they are on the internet since newspapers have online versions.

But, on the flip side of that - I worked in a maximum security prison for 10 years. I know what kind of pervert predators are out there. Even now, as a victim advocate, there is not a week that goes by that I don't have to sit in court for a child sex abuse case. Sometimes I think people aren't nearly scared enough.

My sister's really weird about pictures of my niece on the internet. She recently wigged out over a shot I took of my niece from behind. You couldn't see her face. I took it down because I'm not going to fight with my sister about such a think because then she won't let me see my Buttercup at all. But, I have a co-worker who lets me use her little girl as a model sometimes, and my niece recently asked me if I like that "other little girl" more than her.

Kids are kids, and as such, don't have the authority to give permission to have their photographs published. It's always a good idea to get permission from a parent/guardian before publishing. How hard is to ask, "I'd like to publish this picture to Facebook. Is that OK with you?"

Nothing wrong with being nice and considerate.

No, kids don't have the legal authority to give permission. But, if you tell them they can't be in a group shot with their friends because of their parents - they're gonna give their parents grief about it. Kids are a lot mouthier than they used to be.

Tell me about it. I'm a HS Assistant Principal...mouthy is an understatement.

That's funny, because I have actually thought about saying that. Figure I'll just take their picture then blur them out or something. *shrug*

Just wondering...for something like a group photo why can't you just photoshop out the kid in question? Turn the kid into a plain black silhouette w/a smiley face. ?

I've got another event this week, but I don't think there will be any kids to worry about. It's too much work(bother) to photoshop someone out. Just blurring them would be enough for me.
