Kid suing parents over facebook | The Compost Bin | Forums

I would give her a bill for 18 years of room and board

Running through the sprinkler in the nude, first trip to the potty, reluctantly dressed as a carrot for a school play. Another day, another embarrassing childhood picture posted to social media. Obviously children can’t give their consent to Mom and Dad sharing images they’d really rather forget, but what happens when they grow up?

Oversharing parents, beware: An 18-year-old from Austria is actually suing her parents for posting embarrassing and revealing photos of her on Facebook for the past seven years.

As reported by The Local, the anonymous young woman’s lawyer, Michael Rami, claims her parents have nonconsensually shared around 500 images to their 700 Facebook friends of their daughter doing everything from getting her diaper changed to potty training.

Rami said he was seeking financial compensation for his client as well as a court order for her parents to take the pictures down.

He believes if he can prove the photos have “violated her rights to a personal life,” she could win the case, which is scheduled for November.

“They knew no shame and no limit and didn’t care whether it was a picture of me sitting on the toilet or lying naked in my cot — every stage was photographed and then made public,” the young woman told The Local.
