    Sharenting? Be Cautious
    As social media adoption rates continue to increase around the world, many young parents are keen on posting photos of their children—sometimes on a daily basis—on social networking platforms. In fact, parents sharing cute faces of their children to relatives and friends online even have its own word: "sharenting."
    However, oversharing can be dangerous. Recently, the police suggested parents stop sharing photos of their kids online, in order to protect their children’s privacy and avoid child-related crimes. One of the dangers is that abductors or kidnappers may track a kid from a picture’s background, which may threaten the child’s safety. Another is that kids’ photos will be stolen and sold to intermediary agencies for commercial purposes.
    "On Weibo, there are some unscrupulous businessmen putting stolen photos on forged search notices for ill-gotten gains," said Zhao, a lawyer with the Beijing Juvenile Legal Aid and Research Center. Even worse, faces, heads or other body parts in the photos might be photo-shopped onto pornography and spread on illegal websites.
    Some netizens believe, however, that it is unnecessary to refrain from posting pictures of children altogether. That’s "because no one should feel restricted from participating in what is now a very common way of life," she said, adding, "Social media is meant to be a portrayal of one’s life."
选项
答案     Parents Should Not Do Sharenting
    Nowadays, many parents derive pleasure from sharing photos of their children on social networking platforms, but oversharing can be hazardous. For one thing, it arouses the attention of abductors or kidnappers. For another, some intermediary agencies may steal the pictures for commercial usages. Some netizens believe that social media sharing has already become a part of one’s life, but a lawyer warns that these photos may be photo-shopped onto pornography or used for ill-gotten gains. In my opinion, parents had better not share their children’s photos on social networking platforms.
    To begin with, apart from being the target of abductors or kidnappers, these photos might also become the target of criticism. Some abhorrent remarks may be imprinted in the children’s mind and inflicts on them irreversibly psychological damage. Besides, sharenting may affect children’s school lives. A child can easily be singled out as the target of mockery if his parents post photos of his foolishness; this inevitably leads to his self-abasement, or even worse, a lack of will for school. Furthermore, sharenting can put at risk not only one’s own children, but also other children. A group photo, for example, can give a train of lead to the kidnappers to stalk these children.
    In conclusion, I believe parents had better not post the photos of their children on social networking platforms.
