#KinderSindKeinContent - Tips for parents

These days, photos of children are quickly posted on WhatsApp, Instagram and TikTok. Parents and grandparents want to share the sweet and funny moments with others. However, they quickly lose sight of the potential negative consequences. Children are sometimes shown in inappropriate and embarrassing situations, which violates their personal rights. There is also a risk that the recordings will be misused.

In principle, it is okay to share family moments digitally. However, parents should pay attention to a few things so as not to put children at risk. This checklist will help them.
