Parents May Want To Delete ‘Back To School’ Photo Of Their Kid On Facebook

(Franklin, WI) — Proud Iowa parents who’ve already posted photos online of their kids heading back to school might consider taking them down. Lisa Schiller, with the Better Business Bureau, says sharing pictures of your child holding a sign on the first day of school that lists their full name, age, height, or other details could create risks. She says scammers or predators can use the information to guess passwords, break into online accounts, and commit identity theft or use it to earn your child’s trust. It’s important to check your social media settings. Some settings mean if a friend hits “like” on your post, then all of their friends can see it, too.
