I know it is illegal to take pictures of other kids without the parents permission. I think this is really valid and i do not want my sons pics out there either.
Where are you getting this information from Juju? Can you state which law makes it illegal to take pictures of kids without the parents permission? I'm sure you can't because such a law does not exist. This is an area that so many people are very confused about. I think it may come from commercial use laws but so long as they are not using the child in an advertisement or some other commercial venture, there is absolutely no laws against taking photos of someone - adult or child - so long as they are in a public place and of course don't violate nudity laws, etc. However, I can take a photo of any person I would like walking down a street, playing in a park, at an event, etc. and post it on Facebook and it's not illegal. Creepy, or weird or really odd - yes - but illegal, no. In fact, I can just about guarantee that if you ventured outside of your house today, your picture was taken. There are security cameras EVERYWHERE. Pretty much everyone has a smartphone. There are cameras on street corners, inside and outside of pretty much every store. More and more people have them in and outside of their homes. It's just reality of the world we live in today. Our privacy while in public is pretty much gone - it just is. For some reason this tends to really freak some people out. In fact, some at first don't even believe that anyone can take a photo of them without their permission - but it really is true - "Photography is not a Crime."
