In May of this year, the "Fiks Fare" investigative show brought the shocking case of a pedophile network that abused social networks with minors in Albania and Kosovo. The concrete case that was addressed in the show was that of a man over 40 who used Facebook to communicate with children for sexual favors, mostly boys. For more details, you can click here .
Because the risk is present, experts advise parents not to post pictures of children on social networks, especially on the beach, as they may fall in the wrong hands.
With the onset of school, the photos are getting even bigger because enthusiastic parents for the kids are endlessly in social networks. In fact, in the United Kingdom, about 1.3 million children photos are published every year, and unfortunately almost one third of them are not private, but can be seen by anyone.
The cyber security company McAfee said despite the fact that pedophiles can easily find photos of children, 53 percent of parents in Britain publish their photos, especially for the first day of school.
Experts add that parents need to be sensitized and understand that they do not have to build a "digital identity" for children with or without their consent: "Do they ever wonder if my child wants my part to share this photo with thousands of others ? Do they ever wonder where to imagine a single picture? "
Of course the risk is great, whether it's the first day of school or not. Therefore, to return a little to the above-mentioned Albanian case, the Vice-President of the Law Commission, Vasilika Hysi, recently said that police are unable to follow such cases, the law must be changed immediately. However, until such a thing happens, avoid children's photos on social networks.
