I am also a member of a board devoted to babies. And one of the mothers on the board gets all professional, beautiful pics done of her daughter and has them in her signature and also has a website with the pics...well, one of us on the board saw an advertisement for baby hypnosis on a totally different website...and the pics of the baby that they were using in the website was this womans own child!! They were pics of her sleeping...the mother felt so violated and terribly upset,. as i would be too!! I think she may have even gotten lawyers invovled, b/c this was her child, and besides the fact that they stole these pics from her...what if she didnt even believe in hypnosis and here her child is being used to advertise it on an actual website!!

To make a long story short, nothing that you put out on the internet is sacred/safe...dont give addresses, phone numbers, and personal info and if you have websites, you may want them only password accessible...or put a watermark on them as Russian Blue said!

I am sorry you were violated!!! That is just terrible!!

That's awful! For most things on the internet, if someone isn't using it for business purposes..but entering pictures in contest and stuff or posting on other message boards I don't think there's much you can do. But if it's a picture of her child and because it's for business advertisment and they did not have permission, I do believe that it's illeagal, and she can take legal action.
