Don't Make These Mistakes When Posting Your Kids' New School Year Photos

Kids are heading back to school, which means our social media feeds are getting flooded with back-to-school pics. Here are some tips from security experts on how to keep YOUR kids safe when posting . . .

 

1. Don't show your child's face. According to experts, if you're going to post pictures of your kids, put an emoji over their face or any other identifying info. Like if their school's name or logo is on their uniform, blur that out too.

2. Don't share info about your routine or home address. That means no photos in front of your house number or in front of your kid's bus stop.

3. Don't share details about their interests. Those "back-to-school" boards kids hold up in pictures for their first day in a new grade can reveal A LOT of personal information . . . like the name of their school, their age, and their hobbies.

4. Don't make the post viewable to strangers. Do you know every single person following your social media accounts? Most of us don't. So either go through your friends list and remove anyone you're not 100% sure of . . . or, better yet, keep those back-to-school photos in a family group chat or email thread.
