Regarding this thread.

It seems The Daily Mail (and others) have lifted the silly mother's Facebook pages and plastered them all over the media.

I have no idea how Facebook copyright works, but if the pictures are presumably the "private" property of the family, then surely folk can't just cut and paste them into the papers. More so if the usage is "for profit"??

Yes / no? Any ideas please?

Or is it just - don't go on Facebook.
