WWJ12D: Daycare related?

StokedWifeyStokedWifey member
edited September 2013 in July 2012 Moms
I made the mistake of adding one of B's teachers on Facebook.  Lord have mercy, there's drama all over the place there apparently.  Anyway, that's beside the point.  This morning, she posted a picture of all of the kids in their Alabama gameday shirts.  Cute, right?  (Hush, @reinedecajun)Then I noticed my coworker/friend's daughter asleep in another picture.  When I showed it to CW, it kinda hit me then that she's posted pictures of OUR kids on HER Facebook. I'm not sure I'm okay with that.  I get that she loves them and she's not doing anything malicious, but I am super picky about people I add on Facebook because of Bryson's pictures.  My CW and I were talking and the more we talked, the less comfortable I got.  These people know where she works- what if they see Bryson or Addy and think they're cute or something and try to grab them?

Are we totally overreacting or would it bother you too?  Our last place had very strict social media policies, so I'm really at a loss here.  Please feel free to call me psycho if you believe the shoe fits.

    Umm.... That is totally unacceptable. i would be very upset too! If you bring it up to the director I would think she would lose her job. I get that she loves the kids and probably didn't think anything of it, but that's unprofessional of her.

    That's the issue- I don't want her to lose her job.  She's the best teacher in that class and the only one who truly communicates with me.  I don't know if they have procedures, so I definitely want to bring that up and not point out that she did something right off the bat.

    I'm in Social Media marketing and all of the daycares I work with are 100% against this.  I wouldn't be down with this either, and another reason (besides yours) is because you need to put your phone away while you're watching children.  Facebook can wait.
    Funny- I hadn't even thought about that until another CW pointed it out.

    Yes, I think you're over reacting.  That wouldn't bother me one bit.  It is easy to figure out who you are... and you have a picture of Bryson on here, don't you?  I work in IT, and you'd be surprised how much information I could find about you just by your username... or pictures you post.   Just sayin'  There is a fine line between being concerned and paranoid.

    But if it truly bothers you, which is a valid concern, you should ask her to blur your child's face, or just not include him in the photos at all. You are the parent and your wishes should be respected.

    Did you sign a release for use of his images? We did that when we filled out N's paperwork. I'd talk to the teacher if you haven't and explain that you do not want him to be pictured in anything she posts on socials media because it makes you uncomfortable. If it still happens after that, go to the director. Most places have rules about parents friending providers.
    I don't remember what I did at this center.  I know at the last one- they weren't allowed to take pictures of them with their personal phones/cameras.

    Another vote for unacceptable! Like others have said, talk to her first about it if you don't want her to lose her job. If it continues, however, I'd go to the director in a heartbeat. Your kid, your decision about where his pictures are shared. Period. It would especially bother me that she posted on her personal page. There's no telling how many creeps she may be friends with. She sounds pretty unprofessional.

    Oh, I know you can find plenty.  That's not the point.  I guess it's that I'm the one allowing people to see things about me and my family and not someone else allowing people to see them.

    Yes. You are the parent and your wishes should be respected.  I did mention that in my post.  I was just saying that in the grand scheme of what private information can be found online, a facebook picture is the least of my worries.

    It's not just the picture in and of itself.  It's that people I don't know know where she works.  Yeah, they could find him easily by looking me up, but it just makes it easier, ya know?

    I have only started to read through the comments.  Since she is a great teacher and works well with the kids could you pull her aside and mention it?  Maybe you can address the situation without getting the DC involved.  If she still posts pic then I would get the director involved.
