I totally agree. I've come to believe it's not right for parents even to post pics and videos of their kids on social media. Too many parents using their kids as show ponies, blecch. I took zillions of photos of my children when they were young but never posted any online. They were for private viewing/sharing amongst a small group of family and friends only. Yet even then, I only rarely made copies of photos of my kids to send to others. When my kids were in their teens, I transferred "ownership" of all the photos, negatives and digital files documenting their childhood to them. The photos and videos I still have are the ones they've agreed to grant me the right to keep. Yet even then, the right to possess their images does not mean I have the right to publish those images for all the world to see.
