I understand the one about no publicity shots but any of us could end up in a stranger's picture simply by accident or by telephoto lens. :P <b>mdmhvonpa</b>: And you're doing a great job teaching them!! Hiiiiyak! <b>Local Girl</b>: The teacher was very nice about it and she was just relaying the principal's message to everyone. One person complains and the rest of us...you know. Joan: Please hand over your camera now and place your hands behind your back.

I understand, though, that once the picture is taken, you have no idea what's being done with it. This is a tough one.

I'd rather teach my kids not to be a victim. Putting them in a steel box till they are 18 won't help them. Peculiar people populate the planet. I’d rather teach my kids not to be a victim.

My reasoning behind that is to keep my ex's family from finding my son. I certainly have no problem with people taking pictures of him, but I don't want the pictures to end up out in the world. I think prohibiting the taking of pictures is extreme, although I understand how some people would be paranoid about all the unknowns out in the world.

Our school has a form to fill out if you don't want your child's picture released to the news but that goes out the window when they do something 'public' like a play or sports. I'd think taking pictures to share with the class, and the other class parents is fine. People will be taking picures at the play too! I was at Audrey's ballet class today for Parents day. Usually we watch the class via CCTV from another room but today we could go in and take pictures and video of the class. I was snapping pictures of everyone, planning to print them out and share them with the other kids parents (some forgot cameras) No one seemed to think that was sinister, thank goodness!
