Is it wrong?

my mil told me not to send her any more pictures of my daughter in the bath tub or even take any because apparently she says I am trafficking child porn....is this true? I mean it was just my 2 year old laying on her tummy and her cute butt poking out.... Nothing else..I think it's innocent.

Yes, it is actually a bigger problem than we think it is! Whether you keep your photos private on your phone, post them on social media/online, in your thumb drive, in Google or cloud storage, or anywhere at all - there is a way for people to hack into whatever system and gain access to it. The last thing you would want to do is to let your child fall prey to this. It may seem like a "too much" idea, but these things do happen and it's not only in other countries - if you really want to take photos, at least make sure that the private areas (any parts covered by a swimsuit) are not being taken. This will also help to reinforce the idea of "safe and unsafe touches" - if you constantly take such photos, you're subconsciously giving your child the idea that it is okay for people to take these photos of him/her and if someday something bad were to happen (touch all the wood in the world), I think the last thing you'd want to hear is "because Mummy/Daddy (or whatever family member) did it so I thought he/she could too..."

well if she don't want to see then don't send it to her. anyway, she is exagerating. trafficking is when you make a sale out of the pics. just be prudent on where you share the pics on any social media platform, some peado might take the pic and post on those sites. anyway, I myself takes quite a bit of my son in the buff. it's so cute!

If your kid is naked, you need to be careful then. What if one day you lose your handphone and those pictures could easily fall into the hands of those child trafficking syndicates. So it's really better not to take any photos of a child without clothes on.

I’m tempted to agree with your mother in law here. The world is a scary scary place now and there’s no knowing what will happen to ur kid’s pics if they fall into the wrong hands...

Unless, your MIL is planning to sell the photos or you photos fall into the wrong hands, I don't think there's anything to be worried about.

i think your mother in law is being excessive. I have lots of photos of my little kids in the buff. It's quite normal in my opinion
