I know this. And yet in October , swept away with the excitement of the birth of my son and probably a little sleep-deprived , I made a terrible mistake. I took a photo of the two of them lying side by side; one in a red Baby-gro, the other in white. Max was already a good two inches longer than the new baby, which I found startling as he was still so tiny, and he had already started to lose some of that crinkly new-baby look. On my way home, I looked at the photo and felt a swell of pride. But then the email arrived. It was from my friend.

This feels like a woeful underestimate. Some hint of how these children will feel about all of this in the future comes from Austria this week, where an year old unnamed woman is suing her parents to force them to remove childhood pictures of her her from Facebook.

Join Common Sense Media Plus for timely advice from a community of parents like you. Sharing photos online has become such common practice that most people don't think twice before posting pictures of their kids -- and yours -- on social media sites. Unless the photo violates the social media site's terms of service, though, there's not a lot you can do to get the photo taken down. You can't, for example, call or email Facebook and request that the photo be deleted. Every family has different rules about posting kids' photos. Don't assume everyone feels the same way about social media -- and don't approach this situation as if your rules are better than theirs.
