Grrrrr...I had a little one I loved to pieces, but her "grandmother" was horrible. very controlling over the mom and told the mom things to say. she'd say things like, my grandmother doesn't think you should let her do this or that. I'm sorry, but you're the mom if you can't think for yourself and your child then you have a long life ahead of you. I finally convinced her that she would be better off sending her to one of our local preschool's for the educational aspect of it. Phew. I miss the girl, but not the drama.

There could be any number of reasons mom/grandma have for no pics, beyond just being a pain in the rear, that they do no feel like sharing with someone they just met.
Facebook isn't exactly known for it's stellar security features, so if they don't want their kids pics on the net, they shouldn't be pressured to have it out there. For the average child, a pic on the net is no big deal. For a foster kid, it is a huge deal, and you wouldn't get permission. I can't put my foster child's picture on MY private Facebook, nor in the school paper, the local paper, or on his school's website-----like for awards, club pictures, events...
Now, let's say a parent has an adopted child, that they just don't want the bio family to be stalking their moves, the bio dad is in a gang, or a crazy exMIL that likes to grab photos and publish them on her facebook referencing them as her kids that were taken away.
I am guessing that your particular client is just being contrary and trying to exert control onto the situation. That is the most common reason for denying field trips and photos.Comment
