I would do what's reasonable but also think logically...What would someone really gain by knowing that a kids name is "John Smith" and here is what he looks like? We're not giving out his home address, social security number or keys to house. It's really no different than if we saw him playing in front of his house or at school? We have to seperate personal information from a pic on the web and I wouldn't think that a picture taken in the public domain gives anybody an expectation of privacy...juvenile or adult. My point of view is based living in the U.S. |

| by JMorris on 2007/5/21 2:30:33 This is only my personal opinion, and not the advice of someone versed in law, so please take it as such... There are some really sick people out there and unless you can get written approval from the guardians of the children you post on your site, I wouldn't do it. In fact, just because of the perverts out there, I wouldn't post pics of any kids. I'm a bit hard corps about this kind of thing as I'm a loving parent, but I think it is important to protect our children from sick freaks. Again, this is only my opinion as a parent. |

It only covers commercial web sites, but you at least should develop a privacy policy for your web site and state what your practices are and what options parents and children have. Here is what we have published for our church's site - Easter's Privacy Policy |
