Before a child ever takes their first step, they have a digital footprint
00:05
with hundreds of photos and videos of them shared online.
00:09
While we all love a cute baby pic, experts ask us to be cautious before clicking post.
00:16
How much is recognisable in the photograph? Are you giving clues around your child's age,
00:23
where they live, what they're doing, who's in their family?
00:26
The second thing that I would encourage families to think about is how the child feels about that
00:31
image. Is it something that gives them joy? Is it something that embarrasses them? And then how
00:36
might they feel about that image down the track in five years, in 10 years, and so on.
00:42
And the third thing I really encourage families to think about is who has access to those images.
00:47
So have a look at the privacy settings in the online applications that you're using
00:52
and make sure you're comfortable with who's going to be able to access those.
