Unless she is tagging your child by name on FB it doesn't matter and you have no right to expect more. People get in other peoples photos all the time, some get posted on FB. Nobody knows who those "other people" on the vacation snapshots are, nobody cares..
Whatever.
It is obvious several of you have no boundaries where your children are concerned. Snap away...No questions asked.....it would be expecting too much where other children are concerned, and certainly not where their parents are concerned. You need to worry less about my opinions and examine your own. Peace out
FUNNY, where your child is concerned, you still refuse to use the power you do have and REMOVE YOUR CHILD. Why should anyone else put their own child ahead of yours? Yours isn't so special. Hasn't anyone told you that?
And we have examined our own opinions... YOU'VE seemed to have glossed over them. We're not worried about your own opinions... can't you tell? You're wrong.
Whatever.

What do you propose people do? The fact is that it is not illegal.
Whatever.

Yes, exactly. It WOULD be too much to expect that a parent not photograph their own child.
It's very clear that there are two sets of rights here that can be mutually accommodated, and it's been explained in words of one syllable, pretty much, but JanND and some others don't seem to get it.
A parent has a right to photograph/film their own child in a dance performance/practice, sporting event, or generally anywhere else in public.
A parent also has a right to not have their child filmed or photographed. This is accomplished not by trying to remove the filming or photographing parent's right to film their own child, but by taking the responsibility of removing their child from the event or area.
It's called parenting, and it doesn't involve micromanaging what everyone else does in your child's presence.
Not to mention it's something that's been being done by parents since long before I was born (and I'm 63 years old) with no ill effects whatsoever and many positive ones.
There's being cautious, and then there's being paranoid. The latter does far more harm to the kid than any parent with a camera could ever do, because it's an attitude that permeates the atmosphere in which they are supposed to be nurtured. When it went from concern about their child being posted and identified on FB to "the dad might be a sexual predator", it stepped WAY over that line because it assumes that every man might be a sexual predator, and that's just sick.
That is what made me ill from the OP. The "assumption" that filming children was for pedophilia.
Really strange.
Yes, parents have a right to question when someone is filming or snapping pics of their kids, but in context...another Mom at dance studio, taking film of her child, that seems normal to me, fine. A lone man, takings snaps of only her child at the park, may merit more of a concern.
This is nothing new.
I was in Christmas parades for girl scouts when I was little, every parent and their dog had a bulky ass 90's video camera recording the parade. No one bitched then.

Right, because that is what people have been saying....
