Family Photo Privacy Audit
How much of a child's life is already public, who posted it, and how much of it they will be able to remove.
A child whose parents and relatives post ten photos a month typically has well over a thousand images online before they turn 13, and the majority of them sit in other people's accounts where the parent cannot delete them.

Frequently asked
Is it wrong to post photos of my children?
That is a family judgement rather than a rule, and the useful reframing is specificity: a photo with a face, a full name, a school uniform and a location is a different object from a photo of a birthday cake. Removing any one of those four changes what the image can be used for.
What about photos posted by other people?
They are the larger share and the part you cannot delete. Asking family and other parents directly is awkward and effective; most people simply have not thought about it and comply immediately when asked.
What will my child think later?
Increasingly, young people are saying it out loud, and several countries have begun legislating on children's image rights in response. The reasonable position most families land on is to keep posting less as the child gets older and to start asking them from around eight or nine.
