The bogeyman scenario, I guess, is that some crazed psycho would happen upon these pictures and decide to kidnap our son. I know enough about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.schneier.com\/crypto-gram-0702a.html\">how our fears are disconnected from true risk<\/a>\u2014and specifically about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogsrater.com\/artdb-is-posting-children-s-pictures-online-dangerous.html\">how our fears are disconnected from the true risk of child abuse<\/a>\u2014to realize that this scenario is so unlikely as to bear no consideration.<\/p>\n<p>What I <em>do<\/em> think is worth considering is my son&#8217;s right to privacy, to control his own image. The Internet is forever, and anybody can look at these images. They might even be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2007\/10\/01\/technology\/01link.html\">used in ways we never intended<\/a>. I respect parents who choose to limit the dissemination of their children&#8217;s images, but I&#8217;ve decided that the convenience of easily sharing them with our whole scattered network of family and friends, and the joy they bring thereby, is worth the trade-off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robin really likes bathtime these days.
