Cuties please read this:
*****Community Announcement*****It is a wonderful but dangerous world we live in today, the age of technology has given us the wonderful gift of worldwide communication in the blink of an eye.
It has also given this technology to Paedophiles and other criminals who CAN and DO search the internet for photographs of children, especially photographs in various stages of nudity.
Although to us these photos may be innocent and cute, they are paedophiles' pornography.
Any Photoshop user can take and alter photos at will, adding them to their collections and sharing them with other creeps.
And if you use a smart-phone to photograph a child, then upload the photo from the smart-phone, they can even get the co-ordinates of where the photo was taken and go right to the child's home.
Please, Please, PLEASE!!! Heed my words.
For the safety of your children and grandchildren,
DO NOT UPLOAD any photo's of children, no matter how cute, unless they are fully clothed.
If you have previously done this, then please PM me or any of the other three moderators, jrob, marjialexa, mops, so that we can remove the post for you.
This is a community announcement for the awareness of the safety of our children.
Hugs and blessings, Meganne

26714hi meganne,about two years or so our police force went on the air andwarned the public about this.they also said " no matter what, never ever post pictures of your kids, grandkids, even if they are clothedncause little kids are cute no matter what they wear." these sick people do not care if the kids have clothes on or not, all they see is small, young kids and their thoughts go wild. so please be careful. just my two cents worth. thanks for reading.

12613Thanx Meganne for voicing this problem. I have been very concerned about this possibility for a while now, and I fear some parents or friends, may not think of how evil some people can be. Hope many read and heed this post. I have seen some pics that are very Cute, but could be distorted to, well, you know, anyway, thanx much! Huggs, Judy
923912848Thank you Meganne, for the reminder we all forget just how open we are to these dangerous people. Huge hugs Sally
24342You and I think alike Meg, it is great that you post this...if only every mother in the WORLD could read this it should be WORLD HEADLINES posted everywhere. You know tho with young mothers it does not sink in unfortunately. This is one reason I don't post photos of my GD's any more even with clothes on..don't want any part of them copy and pasted anywhere...
25546I'm going to keep this at the top for a bit. It's far too important to get lost. Thank you SO much, Meganne, for bringing this issue to light. While technology can be wonderful, we should all be responsible enough to understand how it can be used against us, and what freedoms we are giving up by using it. I have never regretted not bringing children into this crazy world. Be careful, Cuties. Hugs, Marji
33451you deserve a big bouquet of flowers for this reminder, Thanks.

its not just photos, if you reply to anything on-line then do a search related to your reply in the form of a question see if your reply will pop up..........................it does more often then not
299559Thank you Meg, this is why I am not allowed to post the pics of my grands I crop their faces out of all pics I post on my pages of designs, those sicko's out there ruin it for all of us. But better to keep our little ones safe :)
17461Thank you Meg -al all of you- for taking care of each other. It is a hard world we live in. Lucky we have our group of people who take care of us and our families. Love you all & Happy Easter to you all !! Greetings Linda
148911Oh Meg. Thank-you very much ,i never think of such things(at my age) and i am always happy when others help us like u do .Keep up the good work.Happy Easter!!!!He is Risen hugs as always Carolyn
360644That's why I don't post up-to-date pics of my kids (my avatar is more than 5 years old and the only I use). There are so many really sick people in this world and even in the internet.
Once I was searching for calendar sheets in the net and came to a page where a man has collected pics of little boys in swimming trunks! They were not nude so it was not apparently illegal (but I'm sure the parents don't give their permission) but you could see his intention why he does this :o( This was a page you could come to with a normal search with Google; you need no password or other encoding! Don't wanna imagine what's on some hidden pages...
Greetings, Bettina
PS: Cuties could also go their posts and use the edit-function to delete pictures or change the text. Maybe a post the use of this helpful tool would be beneficial too :o)
33986thank you for your concern and the warning. Happy Easter by the way.
743293Thank you Meganne: It is such a scarey world we live in. Its so hard to keep up with all the technology and all that it can do. I, for the second time this year, have had my Credit Card # used by someone other than myself. I am just glad that the credit card company did not authorize the use and got in touch with me.
30656I so agree with you Meg, to easy to get information that can change your life in sooo many ways,
hugs

169064Oh that is just SO SCAREY! Gives me shivers but there are some truly creepy people out there. How sneaky too to be able to get co-ordinates from an upload. :(
Thank you.
