Now I have always found it really sad when you get schools that have the policy of not taking photos or videos etc at school events like plays or sport events, as I feel its taking things to an extreme because of the minute posibility of some pervert out there taking advantage.
But recently I was told about something that has concerned me.
My OH's boss has a 10 year old son, and he recently went to his parents evening and all went well, and they were just told they were a bit concerned about how 'distracted' their son might be by girls, aparently he is quite the ladies man, and is oftne seen holding hands with them and kissing. Apparently one fo the girls has even made a website dedicated to him!
Now after initial thoughts and comments of 'chip off the old block', 'thats my boy' etc I have found it all a bit distrubing, this is not just family taking pics at sports day, this is a website accessable to anyone dedicated to one 10 year old boy, no doubt adorned with photos of him and information on how wonderfull he is and like and dislikes in a typical girly way. So any pervert can be looking at this site, but not only that, as these kids go to school together, she may well have put the name of the school on, so people even know where he is!
Whats your view on this, do you feel its all just innocent kiddy crush and no harm is done, or would you want the to speak to the parents of this child or the school about not allowing this sort of behavior?
Basically if you found your child was the topic of website whould you have a problem with it?
