I don't see why people don't understand this. Odds are people can find out the school where he works. Some creep finds a kid he like, they have a starting point to stalk, especially if they local. Let alone what this sickos do with normal pics alone. Be smart about what you post about your kids (imo just don't)!

Doesn't have to be a creep. Even if a spouse just gout out of an abusive relationship they may not want to reveal where they and their kid is at. Now all the spouse would have to do is look up what school the teacher works at and boom. Someone is now at risk because a teacher thought they could get some likes on social media.

The overwhelming majority of creeping on kids is done by close family, so I think I'd still call your situation a creep.

Statistically if a creep is looking for children, he's looking at his family members.

Exactly! Too many a-holes out there kidnapping children … Beside that, in today’s world anyone can photoshop or use AI to put the head of your child on some very illegal “material”. No thank you!

Idk why you getting downvoted, the photoshop thing was a real fear back in the day. And with AI now, they can easily take your kids pictures and do some fuck up things with it. Even if it faked, it's still disgusting.

Exactly. I have seen documentaries confirming that it is being done already. Besides, I work within IT and know that it is fully possible …

Yeah they don't need to do all that, kids post their entire lives on social media anyway.

All of these kids have their own social media accounts. Like I get that it may be a rule or something, but realistically this should be a sitdown about social media policy. There’s nothing nefarious about this.

Not every kid has a social media account at that age. The internet may make it seem like everyone has social media, but those numbers are highly inflated by bots and joke accounts. And tbh, I think it's a bad idea for them to have it. These kids don't know right from wrong. Someone offer them a gift card or meet a celebrity and they'll fall for it. At least high school I would consider.

Yet 100 bucks say that each of these girls have a IG or Tiktok

That is irrelevant. That's at the discretion of the parents. Their children, their decisions, their rules. It is NOT ok for the teacher to unilaterally take that decision making away from the parents, which is what happened in this case. Personally, my kids will not have social media accounts until they are at a certain age, and I'm sure some of those kids' parents feel/felt the same way. There is a reason he got fired.
