Rejected petition Make it illegal to share and post pictures of children in public places.

The government should protect children from harm by not allowing any member of the public to take photos and post to any social media sites, not only do people lie on these sites but the comments people can make are disgusting. This shouldn’t be allowed anywhere.

More details

I want the law changed so it is made illegal to share any kind of photo of any child without the parent or guardians permission. I believe this is a violation by any person or group posting photos. Our children should be protected.
