What is our role as parents of children in this technological age, where anything posted on the web can potentially be viewed by anyone at any time? The info may never archive and may remain accessible to our children’s friends, frenemies, teachers, bosses, partners, spouses, co-workers, etc. in 15 years, 20 years, 40 years, and beyond. How do we make decisions now that suite our needs for the time being but do not impede on our children’s privacy? How will my child respond to things I posted about him on Facebook, my blog, or other social media? Or will the laws change and we will be able to remove things so our children’s online account of their childhood can be locked-up and be only accessible to certain people? This is a dilemma I am facing right now. I want to share our story and our journey but I don’t want to feel I am sharing it at my child’s expense.
