Paparazzi parents warned of online dangers

By the time a child is five there will be almost one thousand photos of them online.

Over half of people in a new survey had posted pictures of children that weren't their own, often without permission. Facebook is the social media site of choice with 53% of parents using it to share photos of their children.

Online safety expert, Vicki Shotbolt has her top three tips for online safety:

  • Turn off location based settings on your phone

  • Check privacy settings - turn on tag requests, who can see your photos?

  • Ask permission if you are posting a picture of someone else's children
