Is that a fail from the poster too?

Think he is still using a handheld mobile whilst in control of a motor vehicle, or whatever the law is, even if his engine has auto-stopped...

I'm not so sure, if the teacher got the pic from Google then it's fair game as far as I'm concerned and achieved exactly what it intended, showed the kids what can happen if you're not careful! If you are "mature" enough to have an FB profile then you are mature enough to have it locked down and live with what you put up there for a billion people to see

Its a tough call (one which I don't have to make). I know a head teacher of a primary school and she hates Facebook and all of the other social media sites. It is shocking and disturbing how stupid parents can be, as well as so naive kids can be. Ok, we don't expect a 9 or 10 year old to fully understand the issues of posting pictures on a supposedly closed web site. But the fact that parents actively go around things like minimum ages for Facebook, by pass security and privacy settings and actively share content that shouldnt be makes it impossible to control.

Kids are taught at a young age about sensible internet usage and parents are supposed to take responsibility too. But this pales into insignificance by the crap that gets posted on Facebook from parents about schools and teachers. I worries me to think about it - who are the more mature? The kids or the parents. And to be honest, a lot of people just don't understand the legal aspects of things - posting up threats and offensive comments on Twitter or Facebook and then claiming "it doesnt count" and "there is freedom of speech".... well, try and use that in court!

Though, on second thoughts - maybe humiliation like this was uncalled for.... but context and background is key here and we have no idea what has happened previously.

Hopefully the only real complaint will be rubbing it in her face infront of the whole school and No-one will attempt to pull the paedo card.

Most other photos would have been fine but that one could have just done with a quiet word.

Maybe in IT classes they could use a random account to show them what's accessible on their profiles and show them how to adjust settings.

I see your point, but I respectfully disagree.

I see the point they were trying to make, but surely they could of at least blurred her face, instead of singleing her out in front of the whole school. That way, no-one would of knew who it was except for her, and yet she would still get the message.

Just seems a bad way of going about imo.

Isn't it technically in the grey zone of kiddyporn to show a 15 year old in a bikini, even if it was uploaded on fb by her?

Wouldn't be sure. I don't think the pic was the problem (she was in shorts and bikini top on holiday...innocent enough imo), it was the fact that it was easily found via Google.

Slightly different a photo existing in the internet for all to see, and your school ACTUALLY all seeing it at once because a teacher (in a position of responsibility) shows them...

I doubt I would be too happy if I found out this had happened to my daughter either, especially as she is only 11 months old! But I don't think the teacher has done anything wrong...the head should be backing them not trying to save their own skin by ditching the teacher and going to the mother.

It is the parents fault...I have a 13 year old that has an FB account, but I have the password and he has had many many talks on what you can and cannot put up on the page. So maybe the mother should take a look at what can be seen by others and then sort it out herself!

what is the bet she is now going to be looking for a quick no win no fee payout?

Seems legit. You can definitely tell whether a car is standard or not by a photograph of the back of it. I'm surprised more insurance companies don't ask for piccies.

FWIW if you know Ep3 type r's at all then its clear that it has an aftermarket exhaust, as standard they have a double outlet on the exhaust like OO instead of O like in that pic - hence he maybe asking someone to photoshop the standard exhaust on

So what is it that YOU have a problem with, the picture or the fact it was so viewable?

I think the school was having an issue with the ease that profile pictures can be found, but went about it totally wrong. As I said, they could have at least blurred her face and still of got the message across, but instead they chose to single her out in front of hundreds of students. She must of felt horrible.

As for the picture, I would have no issue with her wanting a holiday picture of herself if it was my daughter. She was on holiday in a hot climate, is she expected to wear a winter's jacket with jeans? Her intentions were pretty innocent imo.

At what point did you think I had a problem with the case? Other than I think the parents are at fault. The girl clearly hasn't put the filters on so that all photos are shown to the great unwashed, and not just her friends.

The point of the matter is that the mother clearly hasn't been keeping an eye on the daughters FB account and making her aware of the perils of what can and cannot be seen. Yes I know it is innocent, but to some seeing a girl in a bikini is a recipe for pleasure, and I for one wouldn't want someone seeing my girl like that. Yes it is appropriate attire at the time (ie on the beach), but not for some stranger to look at later on in what could only be described as perving!

As for my comment about my daughter...it was tongue in cheek given she is only 11 months old! And for one doesn't have a FB account!
