Why Were These Kids Taking Pictures Of Me

Pictures Of My Boys In The Bath???

Absolutely! Its absolutely ridiculous to insinuate otherwise! We have an absolutely beautiful photo of our son laying naked on his tummy at one week old. This picture is so precious that it is on our mantlepiece in an ornate photo frame. We have stacks in our album of him naked and semi-naked (he kicks his nappy off and runs around the yard!) its part of having children and if you can appreciate the preciousness and beauty of a child- naked or not then you have every right to capture it on camera. those moments are priceless, enjoy them!
I suggust that if you brother and sister in law think that its disgusting then they have more to be ashamed of than you and your husband do. If their thought are that they're "dirty" pictures then obviously they are looking at them in a less than innocent way and whether or not they are thinking sexually doesn't matter. They are babies- their nephews no less. They should be looking at their gorgeous faces and funny actions... nothing else.
You have done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wrong as a parent... remember that.

Why do people in China insist on taking pictures of my kids?

I am a Chinese Canadian, married to a Caucasian Canadian and we have two attractive mixed daughters. I grew up in Canada but our family lived in Shanghai for 6 years. My wife but moreso my daughters had their pictures taken often. Here are a few reasons why your children get their picture taken:1. I think the main reason is because foreign people are a huge novelty. 98% of the Chinese population is Han Chinese (I.e what most people think a Chinese person looks like) and the other 2% is minority groups (e.g. Tibetan). None of them look remotely Caucasian.2. Chinese people in general love kids. Once my wife and I had kids we found that the children were a natural bridge between cultures. We began receiving unsolicited advice from others. People gave up their seats on the subway for us. I’m a photographer myself and while people usually didn't want me to take their picture, they were proud to have me take a picture of their child or grandchild.3. While the locals in the big cities are usually used to foreigners, a large part of the city’s population is made up of migrants from other parts of the country. Those migrants are less likely to have encountered foreigners.4. Chinese tourists from around the country are visiting places like Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. If you are at a touristy spot like the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, The Bund, or The Forbidden City you'll undoubtedly run into tourist groups from all over the rest of China. They are there to see the sights and your children are probably the first foreign children they've ever encountered. They have their cameras out to take the shots of the sights and it’s easy to point the lens at whatever else interests them. Whenever I went to those places with my family or other visible foreigners, we'd get inundated with people taking our picture.I’ve never had the sense that pictures are being taken for some nefarious purpose. Just like the Eiffel Tower is going to be in lots of people’s vacation shots, my kids are going to be in lots of people’s photos. Eventually we decided to take advantage of the situation and ended up getting paid to have my children do modeling for some Chinese companies. We drew the line at people touching our kids though. We taught them how to tell people themselves not to do that.

Why are parents obsessed with taking pictures?

Trenton, I am guilty of this very thing. I'm constantly taking pictures of my kids (3 sons: 32, 29, 25; 1 daughter: 16), or encouraging them to take selfies and make them available to me.I was diagnosed with cancer (stage 4, non-hodgkin lymphoma) in mid-2010, and I wanted there to be lots of pictures to capture the memories before the cancer and chemotherapy caused me to wither away. As my kids got older, and spent less time hanging with Dad, capturing the memories from when we seemed closer became more important to me the older they became.As adults, we know that our families are bound to splinter apart as each kid forms their own family.As my memory fades (an unavoidable side effect of the cancer, and the chemo), I'll have something to help me recall those younger years.

Is it ok for my inlaws to want to take pictures without me when they are taking family photos at family events?

Hi B
I can commiserate entirely as I was getting the same thing. The thing is that the person who initially takes the picture isn't in it and they want to be in a picture of their "core" family. It is the same here. My partner and I share the photo-taking, so there is one with him in, and one with me in, and I am sure his parents only keep the one with him in. I have had worse insults than that from his family eg when a member of the family got married, I was the only one without a button hole flower.

What I suggest you do is to identify someone else who is maybe not critical. So if there are kids present, you could say in a lively voice "perhaps one of the kids could take a picture of us all, adults together".

The obvious answer however is to use a digital camera which has an automatic timer. This is now what we do, at my express request. The person setting it can rush back to the rest of the family before it takes itself, and you are all in it. The trick is to ensure that this is the only photo taken, so that there are no alternatives which show them without you in it.

Believe me, have a look at your digital camera, or that of your partner, and make sure next time that this is the camera used, and that it is set up by your partner/husband, and that you are in it, and that it is the only one. You will find family members wanting to take additional photos but just quite simply and absolutely decline to take the photo. Why should you, when there is an electronic method which is perfectly fine, LOL! Be cunning, not a victim. CUNNING.

Can I get in trouble for having naked pictures of myself since I was 13?

NO YOU CANNOT GET IN TROUBLE FOR HAVING THOSE PICTURES. However, keep in mind that other people could get in trouble for having them. Since you were under the age of 18 when they were taken, they are considered to be child pornography.

This is good because if your boyfriend or anyone you know, tries to post them on ther internet for anyone to see, or email them to others, they would be arrested for a serious crime.

Don't feel bad for taking them. We all make mistakes. I took some naked pictures when I was a teen. At the time I was very naive and I regret it, but at the same time I forgive myself.

If anyone is harassing or making fun of you for these pictures, tell the police immediately. If anyone is posting them online, tell the police. Don't let anyone threaten to embarass you by showing them to others becuase if they did.....You could just have them arrested and thrown in jail for posessing child pornography.

Good luck!

This man took a picture under my skirt?

someone told me they some times put pictures like this on the internet what are some of the web sights these pictures are posted?the scarry thing is that my 2 kids were with me.

This one guy in my lecture class keeps secretly taking pictures of me and snap chatting it. Should I be worried?

It's definitely strange and I can understand why it's making you uncomfortable. Can't say I've ever done anything like this or know anyone who has, so I can't speak from experience. Can only guess.Maybe he has a crush on you, and he's sending pictures to his buddy along the lines of "omg I'm sitting next to her." Maybe he's just a weird narcissistic guy who constantly snapchats his life, and you're just assuming it has more to do with you than it actually does. I don't suspect it's more malicious than one of these two things, but I agree it's weird.Do you want to date this guy? If you do, you could say something like "hey, if you're gonna take a picture with me, we should do it proper." And then you get up close to him and take a legit selfie together. If you don't want to date him, something like "Hey, I don't appreciate you taking my picture like that without my permission." If he has any social understanding at all, he'll probably feel awkward, and avoid you after that.Good luck.

These girls took pictures of me on the bus ?

i think they can get in trouble taking a picture of you without your consent. im not sure where i heard that...i say if you dont care that they have the pictures then just ignore it. if your worried about the pictures then i would tell an adult about it and maybe you can get those pictures deleted. otherwise just ignore them and if they try and take another picture ask them why are they taking pictures of you. who knows maybe its for a year book thing or something. if they dont have a good reason for it i would take their phone or camra whatever it was that they took the pictures with and take it to an adult that would get them in trouble. take action when you need to. there are many times when i was younger i wish i took action but did not. kids in school are always so harsh... i dont get it. trust me when they are out of school they will be clueless. they really dont know how to act. they do that kind of dumb stuff because they dont have a life and are trying to fit in or have their own insecuritys of themselfs. trust me its nothing about you. just ignore them and if it gets to far then report it and take action.

As a kid my father took a picture of me on the toilet. You could see my pubic area as I didn't notice he was taking it. My mother got angry after this. However, this photo was then at home for years in a storage box. Is this normal parental behavior?

You know, your question reminded me of this comic:Kitty PhotographerSo.Parents love their children and often photograph them. The children may end up undressed sometimes, especially if they’re very young. Usually it is nothing wrong aside from “Awww, my baby is so cute”.So if you were raised normally without any problems with your parents, there’s no point in thinking deeper about it.
