Don't B Takin Pics of Dem Kidz and Puttin Em on Facebook...

Some highlights from the article:

It doesn’t matter if you are a tourist, aid worker or volunteer; the same rules apply as if you were in your home country. You can’t go up to children, take their photograph and post it to Facebook or Instagram #cute #iwantone #kidsbeingkids.[/]



Posting photos of children in poor countries is disrespectful because it assumes our own set of standards used in rich countries doesn’t apply elsewhere.



If you’re a tourist, avoid taking photos of children, no matter how cute they are. If you absolutely must take them, don’t spread them elsewhere.

If you’re an aid worker or volunteer with an NGO, for goodness’ sake, you should know better.

Why would i apply different standards here than in my home country?

Because lots of standards of my home country don't apply to other places.

Sanitation.
Traffic safety.
Rule of Law.
Purchasing power.

It's a different society with different rules. Parents ask me to take photos of their kids. Sometimes i don't want to so i just pretend just to be polite.

Umm, is this written for children or adults ?

And, as The Rock would say, if you ever post a photograph of a child without their and their parent’s/guardian’s consent again, “The Rock will take you down Know Your Role Boulevard, which is on the corner of Jabroni Drive, and check you directly into the Smackdown Hotel!”

Aside from that, on the one hand, I would be mad if someone unknown put my photo on the internet, so I get the idea of respect for kids' privacy. But, then again, things are getting seriously out of hand if you can't take photos of any kids, including your own, BECUZ..... ?

Just stay off FB
