Follow her on Instagram, Facebook and X.CNN —One of the increased dangers kids could face on social media this week comes from an unexpected source: their parents. On National Daughters Day on Wednesday, many parents will share pictures of their children on their social media feeds. But “sharenting” — when parents share pictures of their kids on social media — comes with potential risks to children. An even scarier prospect is the possibility that photos parents post could attract the attention of criminals. The parents I have spoken to across the country often tell me they are worried about what their children are doing on social media.

Mark Zuckerberg recently posted a family photo with two of his kids' faces covered with emojis. Tech experts say more parents need to follow in his footsteps to protect their childrens' privacy. Posting your kids on social media may even put them at risk for identity theft, one expert told CNN. Presumably a step to protect their privacy, Zuckerberg isn't the only one thinking about how parents' use of social media can impact their children. She says keeping kids' faces off social media is not only essential for their safety, but also for their sense of agency as they grow older.

From zuck/InstagramFor years, celebrities from Kristen Bell and Gigi Hadid to Chris Pratt and Orlando Bloom have been blurring images or using emojis to help protect their kids’ privacy on social media. Zuckerberg, too, had previously posted pictures of the back of his daughters’ heads and their side profiles rather than showing their entire faces. Some parents choose to either restrict how much they share about their kids or limit sharing to less public platforms. Plunkett believes social media companies can do more, such as offering a setting that automatically blurs kids’ faces or prevents any picture with a child from being used for marketing or advertising purposes. For now, however, the onus remains on parents to limit or abstain sharing photos of their kids online.
