Facebook Photos Annoyance

[Lyss]

So I'm a member of a couple of FCC or education based groups on Facebook and one really bothers me. It seemed ok when I first got the invite and joined (its a private group with over 400 members). I rarely check in on the group and honestly don't know why I'm still on it but when I do check in it seems like there's some Provider posting pictures of DCKs (mainly babies) screaming or acting up. It really bothers me. It is a private group so its not like all their friends see but no one really knows anyone else there and there is 400+ of them! I think its highly inappropriate to be posting photos of DCKs online! Especially when the captions is a rant about the DCK with things like "spoiled brat," "bad baby" or "whiner" (DCK is crying in picture) I posted something about it being inappropriate recently and my post was deleted so obviously the admin disagrees with my opinion. I'm not going to be a member any longer, but it really bothers me!

Wow. Highly unprofessional. I wonder how the parents of those kids would feel? Yikes.

Can you report it? I doubt any of the providers in the group have permission to post photos like that of their children especially in a negative light.

I'd totally do it, I'm just not sure where/how to report on fb. I clicked the report option from the drop down menu but then it wants you to classify it to report it and it only gives nudity, scam, violence type options.

Some people think that just because they have permission to take pictures and post pictures of people's kids on advertisements that they have permission to post it where every the please. This is very unprofessional! And I am sure that parent's would not give permission if they knew providers where sharing these pictures of their kids at a bad timing and calling them "bad kids", Heck if I was a DCP and I found out about this I would pull my kid out ASAP! You should report it say that they don't have permission to post these pictures on that page (maybe you can pretend to be a DCM) before you leave the group.

You can report it, report it as violation of copyrighted material and explain in the section it gives you that it isn't the persons child they are posting photos of, and in a very negative way, etc.

I am so saddened by these 'providers' and even more upset with the children in their care, and the parents who have no idea what the provider really thinks.

Totally goes against state regulations

If you'd be willing to pm me a link to the group I'll totally join and make your voice a chorus

I'm sure others here would be more than happy to do the same.

As long as we don't identify that we're all coming from here maybe they'll get the message that it's incredibly unethical and lots of providers from all over think it's in incredibly poor taste.

Ha ha, I was thinking the same thing! Count me in I am actually very curious as to what group this is! PM me too!

[wdmmom]

I'd like to know too as I'm members of a few groups as well and never seen this sort of thing. Please message me the details.

I figured out how to report the pictures after my last post.

I saw a comment on the most recent crying baby about how the poster was going to post a video of DCK crying, so I just reported the whole group itself to Facebook for posting photos/videos of other people's children that are not authorized. The poster of photo that had my comment deleted is an admin too so maybe that's why my comment disappeared. I found the provider started it on the list of admins and sent her a message. I didn't get any response so far but the pictures are gone (I left two unreported so I could see if the pictures we're removed, the reported ones are removed from my view after I report them), either she or fb took them down.

It's listed as a "secret group" so you can't search for it, you have to be approved by an admin. I remember seeing daycare provider's group became "secret" on my newsfeed but didn't think anything about it, red flag now! I didn't even know this was possible option for groups. I learned a lot about Facebook today too! ::

Edit: No response via message but apparently in the time since I've typed this and then logged in to fb I've been booted from the secret club .

Good riddance eh?!!

Providers like that make the rest of us look just terrible. If parents want to rant about their kids like that it's one thing, but the people who are supposed to be caring professionals certainly have no business spreading that kind of ugliness in regards to someone else's child!!!

[LK5kids]

Oh, this is just......ick! I can't even wrap my brain around such behavior!

I agree! Those parents would be livid! I'll admit I looked through the "likes" and friends of the providers posting those pictures before I reported them so I could see if I could find a parent and try to invite them to the group... that would have created some fireworks! But I wasn't able to find any that I knew for sure were parents, let alone the parents of that specific child.

I think what got me the most was all the comments on the photos, most agreeing with the provider's description of the child and passing along sympathies for the provider I wanted to reach through the screen and take the kids!
