This weekend my sister has her first visit post termination. I know she will be taking pictures since she hasn't seen the child in 2 1/2 months. And she will most likely be posting on FB about 'her' baby and 'her' daughter with pics of them together from the visit. How do most of you handle this? Do you allow them to post pics? It's not like you can stop them from getting pics anyhow since they could easily get pics from other family members. Thanks for any input.

I think it just depends on your relationship with your sister. My niece is very respectful of us. Although her life is sometimes a mess, she does not bring drama into our house affecting the kids. I do allow facebook pics. In fact, her avatar is her with the kids at their visit last month. It does not bother me in the slightest. It does bother other family members, though who feel its overstepping. Also, if in the future, if the children feel uncomfortable with it, I will have to put a stop to it. She does post about the children from time to time, but the reality is I'm their mother. It does not bother me that in her grief she posts about them as long as it is respectful to all.

I don't allow anyone to post pics of my son; it's not that I don't want them associated with him, but I don't want his picture out there where I can't control who sees it. As PP said, facebook will take down pictures of your kids that you have not given people permission to post, but it is polite to ask the person not to post/ to take it down first.
