What about a LAW regarding this? There is nothing I can find that makes taking pictures of foster kids illegal. I am wondering because I only see about agreements and policies, but nothing concrete and legal. I know of people who do post their foster children online without ever getting in trouble for it, those who don't post them online and those who post photos with their faces blurred or covered with an emoji. My children are also in karate with foster children who've had their pictures posted on the website many times with and without their foster parents, but no one has said anything.Nowhere do I see an actual law stating one way or another.The laws I did find only protect private places and the Supreme Court has upheld that anyone or anything viewable from a public place has no reasonable expectation of privacy and may be photographed. Those photos are the sole property of the taker (unless they choose to sell) and can be shared, printed, posted online, etc with no permission needed by anyone in those photos.Ryan in Massachusetts
