Permission for Photos of Children

[Momof4]

Bugaboo, I understand and I have a dcfamily who post their child's videos on Youtube and send it to me as they aren't here any longer. I look at the hits and see that it's over 2000 and wonder if those are all perverts coming to see a little girl dancing, etc. It's crazy and freaks me out and I don't know why the parents don't think of that.

Yes, the internet scares me a lot. But I don't know how to set up a system so that the parents can only see daily photos with a password and I don't want to take the time to do that. I know one of my HDCP friends does that. So I post on my websiite and get so much amazingly positive feedback from current families and those who write to me for interviews.

I totally agree!!!!! I honestly don't know how parents can feel comfortable posting videos on youtube for ANYONE to see..... I have put up videos of my daughter on youtube but that is set to PRIVATE so that the only people who can see the videos are the e-mail addresses that I put with it. And the only reason I even put them on youtube is because my husband's family live in another country and don't get to see their granddaughter/niece in person.

Depending on what site you use for your website you can add the password protected pages. For example, on Weebly you pay a bit to upgrade from the "free" version and then you can put password protected pages. Personally I think it is worth it. I like to protect full pictures and then use partial photos (not showing the face) for advertising.
