“Mooom, you’re embarrassing me on Facebook!” Parents may want to think twice before posting kids’ pictures online, as a recent study showed children ages 10-17 “were really concerned” about what their parents posted about them on social media.

“Mooom, you’re embarrassing me on Facebook!” Parents may want to think twice before posting kids’ pictures online, as a recent study showed children ages 10-17 “were really concerned” about what their parents posted about them on social media. They were also nearly three times more likely than parents to feel that there should be rules in place about what can be shared. This is the first generation to have their childhood digitally documented—from first sonogram on—and those postings can come back to haunt them. Many want parents to ask before posting so they can control their own online image. (New York Times)
