Should I call this girl out?
There is this girl that I am friends with on Facebook that I went to high school with, we were sorta friends in school but never talk in real life anymore. She just became a nanny for a family recently and posted a bunch of pictures of the little girl she watches on facebook (she just moved to another state where she didn't know anyone so it's not like her best friend's kid or something). Am I the only one that thinks that is completely inappropriate? I would be pissed if someone watching my kid put pictures of her on facebook. I know I should mind my own business but I really want to call her out on it. Would you?

Re: Should I call this girl out?
Agreed.
My opinion? No, I think you should MYOB. You have no idea what sort of agreement she has with the parents...or even if they are on FB and looking at the photos themselves.
Ditto. My friends and I all post pictures of each other's kids. I don't see myself being bothered by a nanny doing it.
Ok, I will mind my own business. It just really rubbed me the wrong way so my gut instinct was to say something but I knew I probably shouldn't which is why I posted here instead to get some other people opinions. FTR, I never would have posted it publicly I was going to send her a PM.
The reason that I am assuming she doesn't have permission to post them is because she is one of those people who post an unhealthy amount of personal information on facebook. I think I am just going to delete her though. She annoys the crap out me with her posts half the time anyway, I probably should have unfriended her a long time ago but just haven't gotten to it.
That's the spirit! She annoys you, she is taking up some of your brainwaves with her annoying ways. Delete her azzz!
I think that's weird. I am always leery of posting another person's LO's pic on FB. If I do, I tag my friend, SIL, whoever so they know. I pretty much know who is okay with it because we both do it but if it's someone I'm not sure about I would definitely ask them first.
I don't think I would call out a random person I went to HS with about this though. I guess I would just kind of feel like it was none of my business.
ETA: You also don't know for sure if she okay'd it with the little girl's mother first.
I completely agree. It's entirely possible that the family knows she posted pics of their child and are ok with it. Yes, it would suck if she was posting pictures without their consent, but it's really not your business, so I would just stay out of it.
Come on, let's be honest here. The OP probably has a pretty good idea of how this girl works. MAYBE the chick has talked with the family specifically about her posting their children on FB, and while I appreciate (actually, that is a lie - I think we should follow gut instincts and snap judgments more readily, really) everyone's desire to play the "we don't know the whole story" card, it we are honest, the OP is probably spot on - that this lady is posting these pics without the consent of the family.
With that said, I still think it isn't her business and that her idea to unfriend is a super one.

Yep, you are right. I do know how this girl works and like I said before she posts entirely too much info on FB. She has had fights on posts with boyfriends, friends, family members, and I have seen other people call her out on giving too much info. So I am not really sure why I thought I should even waste any energy on this girl to tell her that she probably shouldn't be posting those pics. It isn't any of my business but as a mother I wouldn't want a nanny posting pics of my child. I un-friended her this morning and my FB world is already more peaceful.
