Subject: Are parents too carefree these days?

It seems to me that parents are a bit too carefree these days. When I go to my local indoor pool, there's always at least one parent (usually a mother) who can't be bothered to take their children into a change-room to get dressed. They just strip the kids naked right next to the pool in full view of other people. Every so often, a small group of school students come in for a swimming lesson and some of the adults accompanying them have cameras. Considering the fact that some parents allow their kids to wander completely naked around the pool area, having other people there with cameras is a bit of a concern, I think, because you never know who those people are taking photos of.
So, do you think parents are too carefree these days?

What they are using it for should be obvious when you look at the photo. If you didn't know your picture was being taken and no one told you they were taking your picture, then the answer to that is a stranger. Again, when you are in a public place you lose any expectation of privacy. Reply #21. Mar 21 17, 6:50 PM |

What rights does a stranger have to use photos of you or your children without your permission? Reply #22. Mar 21 17, 8:33 PM |

According to that article, here in Australia, no consent is required in regards to taking to publishing a photo. However, consent is required if you then want to commercially use that published photo. I started a course early last month and I had to sign a form giving the teachers permission to video tape and photograph me. Without that form, the teachers wouldn't be allowed to do either of these things. Reply #24. Mar 22 17, 2:46 AM |

You may have had to sign that form, Elusive, because of why the teachers intend to use the videos and photos. It may also be school policy. There was a link in the Wikipedia article that gave the details by country regarding photographing strangers. I hope you used that link and read the details. If not, to answer your question as to what right does a stranger have to photograph you and publish the photograph (and publish means more than one thing), they have every right. As I wrote more than once, you are in a public place with no expectation of privacy. Reply #25. Mar 22 17, 2:58 AM |

OK, so strangers here in Australia have the right to photograph you then publish that photo, but according to what I'm reading on the 'Country Specific consent requirements', strangers don't have the right to commercially use a published photo of a person in a public place without first obtaining permission. It's likely the TAFE college I'm currently attending may want to use my photo to promote their courses, but they can only do that if I give them permission to do it. Reply #26. Mar 22 17, 5:33 AM |

And you signed that form. You gave TAFE permission. Reply #27. Mar 22 17, 9:56 AM |

You're confusing two issues here I think. As mirajane has said, in a public place you can be photographed permission or not, you do not have privacy there. How they use that photo is the permission bit. As for parents being too carefree, I would say parents are more paranoid these days in general, from what I witness anyway. The ones you describe are behaving more like many parents would have done years ago I think. Reply #28. Mar 22 17, 10:00 AM |
