They don't post photos frequently to Facebook and the ones on their website are in a parent section that only enrolled families can log into. It doesn't bother me. </p> <p>Occassionally we get a Happy Gram email which is sent just to us (me and DH) with a photo from the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-allow-for-a-photo-release-for-your-child#post-1752563 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 10:15:47 +0000 Mommy Finger 1752563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I signed one for our daycare but when we went to visit the Easter bunny for the first time when he was 4 months, I was asked if they could use his picture for training purposes as well as other media things. I have to said, it is an amazing picture but I said a big fat no to that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-allow-for-a-photo-release-for-your-child#post-1752527 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 09:58:01 +0000 Chillybear 1752527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didnt sign it right away, I joined the FB page first and it is very very private and saw the stuff that they were posting. I signed it about 3 months in and i have enjoyed seeing my little bug's face pop up every now and then </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-allow-for-a-photo-release-for-your-child#post-1752505 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 09:47:58 +0000 mrs. wagon 1752505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: that totally reminded me, I follow a pseudo-celebrity on Instagram (Emily Maynard from The Bachelor/Bachelorette) and she has TONS of followers. She had posted a picture with her daughter, and had the location tagger on and it showed the school's name and address...!! There were like 1,000 comments immediately, warning Emily to take down the picture because now everyone would know where her daughter's school was. Yikes!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-allow-for-a-photo-release-for-your-child#post-1752502 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 09:45:48 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1752502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: This is kinda our thing. I don't mind posting because I can control it, but for them to post in their Facebook page, that anyone can see and know where she goes to school kinda freaks me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-allow-for-a-photo-release-for-your-child#post-1752495 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 09:43:00 +0000 mrs. wagon 1752495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, Wagon Jr. has been featured in marketing materials for Tea Collection, Uppa Baby, and a picture was run in our local paper for our daycare (the director retired after 20 years) and it was actually a picture that Wagon Sr. had taken and sent to the daycare. We don't mind our kids' pictures being used as long as we've been asked permission (we signed releases for the two companies and gave permission to the daycare and the paper), and the organization won't resell the picture. </p> <p>We've never gotten any kind of compensation for the pictures... but we did receive a friends and family discount at Uppa Baby :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-allow-for-a-photo-release-for-your-child#post-1752483 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 09:39:08 +0000 ShootingStar 1752483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think our daycare had a form for this and said something about photos being ok to use in marketing materials and we decided not to agree to it. DH and I post pics on Facebook and I post on Instagram, so I'm ok with his photo being online. But being used for marketing didn't sit well with us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-allow-for-a-photo-release-for-your-child#post-1752477 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 09:34:53 +0000 MamaMoose 1752477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bookwormmama: additional marketing from their perspective I guess </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-allow-for-a-photo-release-for-your-child#post-1752461 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 09:29:35 +0000 regberadaisy 1752461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bookwormmama: that's weird. Get off your phone and watch my child!<br /> On the same vein I find it weird parents get texted pictures of their kids at daycare. My daycare has a strict no phone policy in the rooms and I'm glad of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-allow-for-a-photo-release-for-your-child#post-1752449 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 09:24:26 +0000 bookwormmama 1752449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Maybe this is a stupid question, but why would a daycare need an Instagram account? I guess I can understand a Facebook account, but I don't really understand having an Instagram account unless it were private and only parents could follow.</p> <p>I don't think I would be comfortable with caregivers posting pictures of my kid. A family friend's nanny always posts pics of the kids on her personal Facebook and tags the parents...I find that a little strange as a nanny and a parent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-allow-for-a-photo-release-for-your-child#post-1752434 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 09:19:54 +0000 yoursilverlining 1752434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daycare doesn't have any social media accounts. They send out a daily email with pictures and info about the activities of the day, which goes to all the parents in our room (only). I'm totally fine with that. We didn't have to sign a release to use LO's pictures in their promotional materials, it was built into our contract - so we would have had to amend the contract and fight about that and it wasn't something IMO worth fighting over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-allow-for-a-photo-release-for-your-child#post-1752427 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 09:16:32 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1752427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont think its a big deal. Its a big pain when parents dont sign from a management perspective (though i fully support a parents right to decline) so unless i had a really good reason (custody, legal stuff etc.) i would sign. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-allow-for-a-photo-release-for-your-child#post-1752417 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 09:13:56 +0000 Maysprout 1752417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually it doesn't bother me. But at my daughters preschool last year they just started up facebook so we had a separate form to sign then and I didn't sign. I wasn't sure how often they were going to post and I didn't like that it was a public page that they seemed to be updating while an activity was going on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-allow-for-a-photo-release-for-your-child#post-1752243 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 08:10:45 +0000 Anagram 1752243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daycare doesn't post pictures anywhere, but at the public school that I work in, it's such a PITA if a kid doesn't have their photo release signed. Then they don't get to be in the yearbook, can't be in any club or award photos (sports teams, chess club, student of the month, etc), don't get to be in the end-of-the-year slideshow. The kiddos tend to get upset about not seeing themselves anywhere--it's as if they didn't exist at our school. sad face.</p> <p>Our school doesn't do FB, twitter, IG, or anything else so I think the parents are probably a little overly concerned. Luckily, it's only 1-2 students a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-allow-for-a-photo-release-for-your-child#post-1752197 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 07:44:01 +0000 MamaMoose 1752197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I declined to allow her on day care's facebook or instagram account. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-allow-for-a-photo-release-for-your-child#post-1752185 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 07:34:54 +0000 Boheme 1752185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Never. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-allow-for-a-photo-release-for-your-child#post-1752173 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 07:27:14 +0000 tinyperson 1752173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our day care doesn't have a facebook page, but we declined the use of LO's photos for marketing materials (brochures, website, etc.), but allowed for internal photos on the walls in the classroom. If they had a facebook page, I wouldn't have allowed her photos up there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-allow-for-a-photo-release-for-your-child#post-1752168 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 07:25:43 +0000 dolphin 1752168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I'd mind </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-allow-for-a-photo-release-for-your-child#post-1752165 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 07:23:31 +0000 regberadaisy 1752165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we don't allow it because their page is public. I share pictures on Facebook but my account is private and shared only with friends and family.</p> <p>Although sometimes when I catch a glimpse of LO in the pictures they post I wish I didn't! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-allow-for-a-photo-release-for-your-child#post-1752131 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 07:09:44 +0000 looch 1752131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only did for my son's camp. We did not do it for daycare, but they were not on social media. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-allow-for-a-photo-release-for-your-child#post-1752125 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 07:07:53 +0000 Dandelion 1752125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Schools just put it on their site and don't label anyone except for awards. I don't mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-allow-for-a-photo-release-for-your-child#post-1752120 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 07:06:01 +0000 Adira 1752120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daycare does this and we allowed it. They post their pictures on Facebook, but it's always just a bunch of kids and they aren't labeled, so I guess I don't feel OVERLY concerned about it. Maybe I'm naive though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-allow-for-a-photo-release-for-your-child#post-1752119 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 07:05:44 +0000 Mamaof2 1752119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes - I have no problems with it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-allow-for-a-photo-release-for-your-child#post-1752114 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 07:02:32 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1752114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know where to the put this but safety maybe sounds right.</p> <p>A lot of places have a photo release for your child. Daycare, dance class, etc. </p> <p>Do you sign and allow it? With the craziness of Facebook, I have not allowed it so far (although I still post plenty of pictures). </p>
