Personally, I don't think there is anything wrong with pictures and videos of naked children, provided they are not sexual and that the child doesn't object to them being posted. If the child objects, then the parent shouldn't post them or should remove them. The pictures or videos should only be posted by the parents, child, or with the permission of the parents and the child. What are your thoughts on videos or pictures posted online that show naked kids? Basically the same as yours. Here's an interesting and related question: how do you feel about publishing nude pictures of children that are meant to be artistic in nature? I think of the work of photographers like Sally Mann and Jock Sturges, both of whom (unfairly, I think) got called child pornographers. I have no objection to artistic nude photography of children. I think those photographs can be beautiful and are not pornographic.

Another thought - it is a massive invasion of the child's privacy. Would you like having your own baby pictures online? Be good to your children; they will be the ones who choose your nursing home. And possibly post photos of you in the nursing home. On a bad day. Paybacks is a bitch. I have no objection to people seeing my baby pictures. I wouldn't even object to people seeing naked pictures of me now.

It depends on where they are posted.
If you post them on your Facebook page or other social media page where you generally know who has access then it should not be a problem.
Yes even those places the images can get out but if you are careful then it is less likely to happen.
I don't see how doing so would be harmful to anyone.
There are those who think it is wrong to post any photos of your kids at all.
Back in the day ivmeer would post pictures of her kids on 'the box'tm and her haters would try to shame her for it. Claiming it made her a bad mother and was enabling pedophiles.
'the box'tm was the Soapbox

rachelcarson1953 I may have misunderstood your anecdote, but I was under the impression she was telling things about you as more of a grownup. I am only talking about kids who don't have the capacity to have consent. By the time a child is teenager or an adolescent, then they should certainly have a say in what they want divulged as public knowledge including photos. However, I will say that the pictures of you as a baby were fair game to show to people while you were a baby. When you're an adult, you should have a say in who gets to see those. It can be a slippery slope though. After all, the parents may think those photos are theirs to do with as they wish. I'm just saying that as a parent, I wouldn't automatically reveal things that would be embarrassing for my kid and a smart parent will know exactly which photos may cause this unless they child is perhaps more socially awkward than the norm. Your kid is lucky to have a smart parent.
That photo of me was still being circulated until my husband finally told me to confiscate it. He recognized what my mother was doing. She came from an abusive home; I'll never know exactly why she did to me what she did, but suffice it to say, I deliberately chose to not have children myself. I didn't want to pass on the dysfunction. And I married a man that already had had a vasectomy.
Instead, I rescue abandoned baby kittens that need to be bottle-fed, and my veterinarian finds homes for them. And even though they would never be embarrassed, I never post questionable pictures of them; their photos would be acceptable for a Hallmark card.

Actually the most embarrassing pictures of kids are not the ones were they are naked. Because pictures where kids are naked (if not done for porn purposes) are when they are bathing, small babies,things of that nature. Nothing embarassing in them.
Pictures of you wearing diapers I think you would find more embarassing then you naked in a bath or kiddie pool.
I have several embarrasing pictutres of my neices... doing weird dances, drinking from baby bottles at 12 etc...
The only ones offended by naked baby/toddler pictures are adults. As for pedophile I will assume that like heterosexuals or homosexuals, covered or uncovered does not change their attraction to kids.

The problem is we don't know what makes pervs horny. That would be my concern. If they are out there for anyone with a sinister purpose to see.
