Yawn.

Almost 90% of all sexual abusers know their victim. http://www.ovw.usdoj.gov/docs/stop-report-2010.pdf
This is a fucking stupid vector by which nobody is attacking kids. It's just dumb. It MIGHT be a concern if and ONLY if:

1. You are a public figure of some sort that tries to maintain a private life, such pics reveal things you might keep anonymous if you could choose.
2. You have an actual fucking stalker/abuser and are in hiding or have a restraining order.

In both cases, one can scrub the metadata from a photo before posting it.
