The First Social-Media Babies Are Growing Up--And They're Horrified

5. It all comes down to the common sense of the parents.

We have a five year old and a seven year old and I've posted many, many times with them as the subject - but, there are things that don't belong online of my children that are funny/embarrasing that I've shot and will be appreciated/laughed at by them when they're older - offline.

The article mentions that Caymi also posted freely about her life and medical issues on Twitter so I'm not entirely sure why she feels like it's OK for her to do it but not her Mother and feels the need for 'Children's Internet Privacy'.

Anyhow, her generation and those that follow (my kids) will be the most photographed and videoed in history thanks to the iPhone and other smart phone devices, and I think that's great. I would kill to see me taking my first steps or of hearing my tiny three year old voice (which we have of our kids).

But again, parents need to weigh what things should go online and what should not.
