Facebook WWYD
A friend of mine just had a baby. ?I saw a picture of her on FB tagged by someone I don't know (family member of her DH's I suppose) and it is not a picture she would want on FB because you can see her breast / nipple (I presume it was taken right after she nursed). ? I would be mortified to be tagged in that picture if it were me and it has already been up there for a day and because she was tagged it was put in her profile.
I just don't know what to do - we are friends but not as close as we used to be. ?She JUST had a baby and I called her and she understandably didn't answer and then I saw the picture and I don't feel comfortable leaving it in a message. ?I don't want to stress her out because I know how hard these first days are, but if it were me, I would want to know. ?At the same time, being the messenger is going to suck because I know she is going to be really upset and I don't want to be the person who upsets someone who just had a baby. ?UGH!!

Yeah, I plan to, I just don't know HOW to do it if I have already called and she is not answering. ?
?I guess that was my real question I never got around to - how would you all handle telling her??
I agree with this. Contact the person that put the picture up and just politely say "I don't know if XYZ would feel very comfortable with this picture posted, you might want to consider removing it."
It took me a second glance to catch it, so I don't think it was intentional. ?I am looking into seeing if I can message the person who posted it and I will if I can't figure anything out. ?I just feel really really?awkward?doing that because its her DHs grandfather.?
Oh man!!! That is awkward! I would have NO hesitations about emailing a generic person I didn't know to point that out, but knowing that it's her DH's grandfather is a little awkward! What if you emailed her DH instead? Do you know him well enough to send him a little email like "Hey.. I'm not sure if you saw, but your grandfather posted some pictures on facebook, and one of them has some of your wife's breast showing. I thought it was something that I might feel uncomfortable with if it were me, so I thought I'd let you know."

This is why no one's grandparents should be on FB, LOL!!!!!!!
If you don't feel comfortable contacting him, maybe your friend's DH since it is his relative? But yeah it definitely needs to come down!
Well, that does make it a little better in the fact that it seems it was just a slip up. I have to admit I'm impressed. There is no way my grandparents know how to even use the computer more or less facebook!
If you can't get in touch w/ the grandfather who posted, then I would try the DH. I think my DH would rather know about it and correct the problem. I don't think he would blame anyone about the accidental exposure.
Good luck!
Ditto everyone else! I would send a message to the poster and let them know it's there -- they might not have noticed.
What a tough position to be put it. Yikes!***Baby #3: BFP Mother
Thanks for your help everyone! ? Here is an update: after talking to some other friends of hers, we decided to call her Mom and speak to her since none of us felt comfortable messaging her DH's grandpa.
I just got off the phone with her Mom and she was so grateful I called and understandably mortified for her daughter. She is going to talk to her son in law and tell him to have his grandpa remove it. ?She is hoping that her daughter never finds out and I am more than happy to not tell her. ?I definitely would rather not know if it were me.
