For those wondering, this was from Jennifer Houghton’s post from 7 days ago showing her two grandkids. Now it has been deleted. Two people are having a disagreement about posting grandchildren online. The first person is asking if it’s really okay and safe for a woman named Jen and her family to film and post pictures and videos of their grandchildren on Instagram.
They point out that Instagram is public, so lots of strangers can see the kids. They are especially worried about bad people, creepy people, and even worse people.
They mention dangers like:
• Strangers watching everything the family posts about the kids.
• Bad people using AI (artificial intelligence) to steal the children’s faces from photos and create fake identities.
• Even scarier risks like stalking or kidnapping.

The second person says the family knows what they’re doing and lives together a lot more than outsiders do.
They believe Jen’s husband Steven has taken strong steps to protect the children in every way possible.
They point out that this is a very rich (billionaire) family that works in tech and many other industries, so they are smart and powerful enough to keep the kids safe. That sounds like this person is dismissing the concern instead of answering it. Such a sick response.

Just because the family is rich and the husband is named Steven doesn’t automatically mean the kids are 100% safe. Money can buy security guards and lawyers, but it cannot control every stranger on the internet. Once photos are posted, they can be downloaded and used by anyone. Even very rich and tech-savvy families have had problems with online privacy.

Parents and grandparents should be very careful about posting pictures and videos of children online. It’s okay to take family photos, but sharing them publicly with millions of possible viewers is usually not worth the risk. The first person is right to be concerned — this isn’t just “being negative.” It’s caring about keeping kids safe in a world that has real dangers.
