Daughter mooned me this morning ~warning naked butt~

I can see both sides of the argument from the taking nude photos of your kids. I take a lot of artistic photos of things, some involve nature,animals kids. And because I like to take photos in the moment some are of my kids naked. I had an issue a few years back when I took a photo of my boys eating lunch naked. And a few people in my family freaked about them. Now that aside I only share that or any photo like that with close family that I trust *yes there are a few in my family I don't trust*, but I sure as shit would not be posting it in the welcome to COM forum. I'm not even sure if I was in a group with ladies I chatted with regular I would post them. So yeah there is something fucking weirdly creepster like about someone saying "hey, here is my toddlers nude ass mooning me." If that is even 'her' kid mind you. And Arianna I have had some weird people PM me over the months being here asking some disgusting questions. So I can certainly believe someone finding a naked kids photo online, and posting it on here to see the reactions they get.

As a mother of two kids who were molested by someone I had trusted,I am so opposed to posting pictures of kids naked,even if I thought they were funny is a big no-no.I have pictures of only my son from when he was little in funny pidtures naked bit I sure wouldn't post them.There are too many creeps out there using the internet as hunting grounds.I've even spoken to my daughter about putting pictures of my grandson up.I'm very leary about things like that now especially after what we've all been through thanks to one person.Maybe one day,I'll quit bashing myself ,but I doubt it.Save yourself and your child some heartache.

I was wondering where this post went..... COM decided to swallow it up for me.



My kids are naked at home on a daily basis.... and it doesn't bother me one bit. I post clothed pics of my kid on my private Facebook profile. If they are nude... they are cropped. Even the pics that were taken when they were less than an hour old.



I will not EVER post any pics of my kids (clothed, just backs, or otherwise) that are not private... I do not/will not use my real name on COM... and even my real life Facebook profile pic (since that is public) is not of my kids.



I have been the victim of an internet psycho in the past and my children will NOT be their 'pets'. Ever.



Granted, some sick freak could oogle them in public, but they aren't going to be contacting me via the internet and telling me about it. So.... yeah. It's a big deal. If you don't think it's a big deal... it hasn't happened to you yet and be thankful that you think we are all paranoid and overreacting... that's a much better mindset to live in than the truth of it all.

Ariana, my children run around naked too (well, they did when they were younger, although my 7 year old often still does). I am quite aware that nudity does not equal sexuality. HOWEVER, there are sick fucks out there, and once a photograph is on the internet, it no longer belongs to you. It is no longer just a child running naked in the back yard because there are sick fucks out there getting their jollies off just looking at these photographs of naked children. If you want to post a photo of your naked child to your FB where your privacy is limited to your friends and family, then great. You are sharing with people you trust. But when you post it publicly, you lose any rights over that photo, and it can be used in any way any sick fuck out there decides to use it. They could photoshop it into child porn (yes, I have heard of that happening). Do you really think, in 15-20 years, your child will thank you for that? No-one is saying there is anything wrong with a naked child. No-one here is sexualising it. Everyone is saying, however, that there ARE people out there who DO sexualise it, and by sharing publicly, you are taking the risk that there is someone out there sexualising your child.



Believe it or not, I actually agree with you that it is sad that people ARE out there sexualising children. But that is the way it is. I have plenty of photos of my children naked. I don't share them with the world because I don't know where those photos will end up. I share them with my friends and family, where I know they will be appreciated for what they are.

Well Ariana, clearly you need to learn it for yourself.

Ariana - posted on 11/18/2012

"Isn’t it strange how the more a culture fears something, the more of it it creates? In Europe, where children run around naked up until 12, and adults strip on beaches, nudity does not equal sexuality, and no one would think twice about seeing a bare-chested 10 year-old in a magazine. Why not? That’s what she looks like. She’s a beautiful child. Beauty is not sex, nudity is not sex. In America sex is inseparable from those things, and therefore a photograph of a beautiful bare-chested child is by nature sexual, inherently sick."

Not my words (I'm not always the best with them), but that's how I see it.

Just a quick final note for Ariana.....

A post titled "should i have sex with my 14 years old son?" was just deleted. Any comment? Yeah, there are some sick people out there who choose to post on this forum to somehow get off. I don't understand it and you don't understand it, but it happens. Don't post naked photos of your kiddies in a public forum. If you ever need more examples of why not, I will quite happily give you more examples of sick shit I have deleted here.

Little Miss, tell the truth!!!! You are really a dirty old man that trolls around for people to post naked pics of their children!!!!

~♥Little Miss - posted on 11/17/2012

Like Jodi, I have been on this site for over 3 years. It did take a while to see all the creepos, but now they are easy to spot. The more you are here Ariana, the more you will see them. Many of us do not use our real names, and I am considering changing my picture again. Why? Because people are scary creatures. We have had very odd people come in and out of this community. We could actually tell stories of the oddness, but clearly if you cannot believe there are pedophiles on here, you would not believe stories of people making up completely different lives. And completely destructive of others. You honestly never know who you are talking to in here. Hell, I could be some weird old man sitting naked in front of my computer looking at this picture and drooling over it thinking about terrible things. Am I that person, NOPE. Do you know I am not? Can you tell? Nope.

~♥Little Miss - posted on 11/17/2012

Yes there are pedophiles on this site. We had an entire community closed down due to pedophile activity. Yes. And they were posting inappropriate pictures of themselves, and children. Don't be naive. Why would you intentionally invite problems by posting naked pictures of anyone, especially children on an open form? Regardless if you can see the childs face, it is still a naked picture that can be easily sexualized.

Jodi - posted on 11/16/2012

"You seriously think there are pedophiles lurking on the moms forum just waiting for someone to post naked photos of their children?"



You really don't believe us, do you, that there are fucking creeps everywhere on this site. You have NO idea how many trolls patrol these pages. Yes, it's sick, but they do. Those of us who have been around long enough have SEEN it.



"You can google 'baby bums' and I'm sure a bunch will turn up."



I'm sure they do. But it's not going to be my kid's butt some pervert is jerking off to. It's basic cyber safety. There are some photos that are appropriate for family and friends, etc, but really, sometimes we need to exercise care about the photos we decide the entire world can use how it wants.



Not to mention the fact that in some places, people have been charged with child pornography over their own children's photos.



I am not saying we SHOULD sexualise pictures of naked children. I'm saying people DO. And even though it may be perfectly innocent, there have been instances in recent years of people being charged. Even if charges end up dropped, it is still a major thing to have to deal with. So as I have been saying all along, do you really think it is a good idea to post naked pictures of your child on the internet for a bunch of strangers?

Ariana - posted on 11/16/2012

A photo of a childs bum where you can't even see their face? Yeah I'd put that up, I'd put one of me up.



Someone could look at your child, clothed, in the street in a sexualized way. Are you going to stop going to the mall? Are you going to make sure they never ever put a photo anywhere or show anyone?



You seriously think there are pedophiles lurking on the moms forum just waiting for someone to post naked photos of their children? You can google 'baby bums' and I'm sure a bunch will turn up. I really think people are overly paranoid about the whole thing. It's not a photo of a kid legs spread or their genitals with their name plastered at the top - it's a kid with a naked bum.



It's not sexual, it's not obscene. In our haste to protect children, we are actually doing them a disservice by sexualizing everything they do instead of viewing it through an adolescent prism.



My god, a childs bottom? Who would ever want that shown!



But that's just my opinion, if you don't want your kids bums showing don't show them. No ones trying to force you.

Jodi - posted on 11/16/2012

Ariana, would you post photos of your children naked on a public Facebook page, knowing that you can NEVER EVER get it back? Knowing that any old creep could take it and use it however they want? Because I know I wouldn't. And putting it here, you may as well be putting it on FB for the world to see. There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking photos of your naked children, but posting it publicly is really inappropriate.



And yes, there are creepy guys that hang out on a mother's forum. Believe me, I've been moderating here for over 3 years, and I guarantee there have been plenty of them. Not just men either.

Amy - posted on 11/16/2012

Ariana have you seen the number of men posting on this site looking for advice? It's not too far off that there are creeps on here trolling......

Ariana - posted on 11/16/2012

Well, if it's just some weirdo posting under random names trying to troll that's kind of freaky.



In general though there are probably lots of photos with kids bums in it, I don't really think it's that big a deal. It's a little paranoid to assume there are creepy guys hanging out on a momsadvice forum but ok... I really do think people are getting pretty paranoid about this type of stuff though. It's weird that an innocent photo of a kid can get such a negative response.

Dove - posted on 11/16/2012

Considering how many forums she posted it in... and under a different 'name' (Jen) on one I was actually wondering if it was really her kid. Granted, I didn't click on the link as I have no desire to check out some random woman's naked kid on a world wide website that is open to any pervert and his brother..... I don't post naked pics of my kids online anywhere and the only place I post pics online of them at all is on Facebook.... with very private settings.

~♥Little Miss - posted on 11/16/2012

Yeah, it kinda is for an open forum like this. You never know who is trolling and getting off on little naked baby pictures. Yeah, a bit ridiculous.

Ariana - posted on 11/16/2012

? A kids bums showing, it's nothing ridiculous.

~♥Little Miss - posted on 11/16/2012

Dude, seriously?

Dove - posted on 11/16/2012

That's exactly what I said about this exact same post on another page.... She posted it all over!!

Jodi - posted on 11/16/2012

Do you really think it is a good idea to put naked pictures of your child on a public website?

Haha that is so cute!
