It is believed that the parents today upload as many as 973 photos of their kids on social media sites till the time childrens reach the age of 5. Such kind of behavious from parents of todays age is considered as very risky as social media has tured into a venue of phishing and click jacking. The problem is not of uploading the photos on the web site but of not selecting the right kind of privacy settings that can keep these pictures secure from the unwanted crowd.

Truth be told, the study found that 17% of folks have never checked their Facebook security settings by any means, while a large portion of (46%) have just checked a few times, regardless of Facebook being the most obvious spot for sharing child pics.

·         53% of folks report having uploaded pictures of their children to Facebook. Instagram was next with 14%, while 12% of folks transfer child pictures to Twitter.

·         25% of folks admit to never asking the authorization from the individuals in photographs before posting them.

·         53% of folks have uploaded a photograph of someone else’s childrens.

Investigate your social network's security settings and verify you transform them from the default if important to conservative protection. Don't overshare; rather, be cautious about posting data about yourself, your family or your companions. Secure online networking records so you're not openly sharing things like photographs or when you're away in the midst of some recreation. Facebook, for one, made an interpretation of its protection strategy into plain English a couple of months prior, which ought to offer assistance.

This gigantic advanced foot shaped impression we're making for our youngsters before they have a say in the matter could well return to bite us. Think before you transfer after they grow up, do you truly think a tyke will thank you for transferring photographs of them waddling around in their nappy? Think about their sentiments before you post. Additionally, normal cordiality obliges us to inquire as to whether its OK before we post photographs of others. It doesn't make a difference how lovable a photograph is; if the kid isn't yours, make a point to request their guardian's consent before you post their cake-spread smile on the web. As it would turn out, once that photograph's on the web, its essentially difficult to stamp it out. Try not to utilize informal organizations as a substitution for your own photograph collections or hard commute stockpiling, and recollect that some informal communities will acquire rights to your pictures once you've transferred them.
