Misappropriation, abuse and identity theft? Yes, this also works perfectly with photos of children. The police's tips will help you handle your children's data responsibly on the Internet.
As the LKA Lower Saxony reports on Facebook, parents often carelessly and uninhibitedly post pictures of their children on the Internet in order to let relatives and acquaintances share in special life moments. It's not without risks!
Be responsible when handling your children's data and do not post photos unprotected in public. Once an image is online, you have little control over its further use! If you post children's photos on social networks, consider the following:
- Avoiding photos with unclothed or barely clothed children (paedophilic people specifically look for such motifs on the Internet)
- Avoiding photos that children might find shameful, embarrassing, or damaging years later (school, friends, employers, etc.)
- Use options to optimally protect the image material (use privacy settings, use pseudonyms, restrict circles of friends, etc.)
- Ask relatives, friends and acquaintances not to distribute posted photos or data (photos can still end up in the wrong hands!)
If in doubt, it is better to leave out a picture, use neutral photos or choose a motif in which your child's face cannot be seen.
