[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 608347, member: 1233"] I think it has always happened to some degree, but the scale is getting much, much bigger and more common. Partly, I think, because we hear more about everything with the instant information we have. I also think some of it is the whole social media thing. Kids and even young adults seem to see absolutely nothing wrong with posting outrageous and even blatantly illegal information online yet they are all upset if anyone uses it against them. I cannot tell you how many conversations I have overheard where even the college kids are saying how unfair it is for cops, employers, even parents of people they are dating to look up and hold against them photos and comments that they have posted online. Some truly think that they should not be held accountable for photos and tweets and posts where they are doing illegal/immoral things. I find it mystifying how they honestly expect to post these things and believe that these should have no impact on their lives, criminal records, and future employment. in my opinion it is getting way out of control. It is one thing to shelter your child but another to try to give them a pass for illegal behavior that they advertise to the entire planet. My kids ALL know that there is no way that anything good will come documenting bad behavior, esp if you are so stupid as to post it online or hang out with people who think it is great to post that type of thing online. I actually don't like them to post any photos of themselves online. I flat out refused to let husband do it when they were little and he wanted to make a family webpage. in my opinion it is like putting your kid in a catalog for pedophiles and once explained that way, husband agreed with me.
