Don’t let friend circles hurt your children

During this time, a friend encountered something troublesome. Someone obtained the child\’s information through her circle of friends and threatened her. At the beginning of the year, an insurance manager whom she had not contacted for a long time suddenly sent her a message. Demand compensation from her for damages. The photo is a flight ticket to Hong Kong and a reservation agreement for a hotel in Hong Kong. The date is November 2016 and has already expired. The friend then remembered that the insurance company she had done business with before said that she would be given a free study spot to buy insurance in Hong Kong. However, before leaving, she suddenly had a fever, so she sent a WeChat message to the insurance manager saying that she could not go and was sorry. At that time, the manager replied that it was okay. During this period, I never contacted her again. Air ticket and hotel deposits are valid for one year. He never reminded me of this friend in this year. My friend thought he had quit long ago. His sudden appearance made my friend feel unreasonable. I have never been there, but considering the difficulties faced by the insurance manager, I said I could help cover half of it. At that time, the insurance manager said nothing more. A few days later, he suddenly popped up on WeChat and threatened her: \”You are a role model and you will not pay back the money you owe. I will go to your son\’s kindergarten and post what you did.\” The friend was angry and silent for the past few days. , this person actually looked through his circle of friends and found out the kindergarten his child went to. Friends are worried about their children\’s safety and are full of fear. Image source: \”Secrets of an American Girl\” Several of us mothers couldn\’t help but feel anxious after hearing this. At that time, a mother reminded everyone that it is best not to post frontal photos of children in WeChat Moments, but also to set up groups when posting. It is also recommended that friends take screenshots of the threatened information as soon as possible and change the circle of friends to only display it for three days. She told us about a mother in her community who loved to show off her child, and the child was almost taken away. Last October, the nanny and the old man pushed their child to the park together. As the old man went to the bathroom, a woman in a blue windbreaker came over and squatted next to the child\’s stroller, calling the child\’s nickname affectionately. She told the nanny that you were on vacation last time I went to your house. I am friends with the child\’s mother, and I went to Yintai with her to buy this stroller. It\’s a small one. My child is also in the xx Early Childhood Education Center, and they are in the same class. When the nanny heard that this woman knew so much about the child, she thought she was really a friend of the child\’s mother. The woman said several times that she wanted to hug the child, but the one-and-a-half-year-old child had already accepted birth. As soon as she hugged the child, the child started crying. Fortunately, the old man came out of the bathroom at this time and immediately came forward to ask. The nanny also reacted quickly and grabbed the child. The woman turned around and walked away quickly. The old man and the nanny were so frightened that they broke into a cold sweat and quickly called the child\’s parents. Push the child home. The children\’s parents are also deeply afraid. Image source: \”Dear\” Mom calls her friend who is a police officer. The child was not taken away, so a case cannot be filed. But the police reminded her to see if she had offended an acquaintance or if too much information about the child had been leaked in her circle of friends. This mother looked through her circle of friends and found that she had posted too many photos of her children and exposed too much information. In which hospital the child was born, in which confinement center she was given confinement, she had exposed all the water cups and tableware the child used daily. Which counter in the mall did she go to buy clothes for her children? The brown pouch she bought was even posted with the price tag. returnI posted a 10,000-step route map for pushing my child to the park adjacent to my community during my maternity leave. The starting point and end point on the route map were exactly the community where I lived. She posted a short video of her child in the baby swimming pool. In the video, she called the child by his nickname and shouted \”Come on.\” She posted photos of her children going to early childhood education classes. One photo showed her children taking a trial class. There was a sticker with the child’s scientific name on their clothes, and the name of the child’s early childhood education center was also printed on the sticker. In her circle of friends, there are relatives, classmates, colleagues, business partners, unfamiliar fellow villagers, girls from beauty salons, various purchasing agents… there are five to six hundred people. Are any of these trustworthy? Image source: \”Little Nicholas\” Smartphones and social networks bring us convenience, but they also bring hidden dangers of privacy leaks. I read an article last year that said you should never post original pictures. Because any photo taken by a smartphone now contains something called an Exif parameter. It contains location information. This positioning information cannot be removed by photo editing software. The only way is to turn off the GPS function when taking pictures. Some testers found a friend\’s place to eat based on an original picture. A picture can allow others to locate us. Just imagine, if we linked photos of children over several years, wouldn\’t the child\’s range of activities, home address, school and other information be exposed? Netizen Luo once posted on the Internet \”How I deduced Wang Luodan\’s address.\” He deduced her specific apartment address based on several pictures on Wang Luodan\’s Weibo. It only took him 40 minutes. Then, he used Google Earth to capture an overhead view of Beijing\’s urban area and divided it into nine areas A-I. Later, he followed Wang Luodan’s Weibo content to further target the area. Later, Wang Luodan once said that driving in Zhongguancun requires navigation, excluding areas E and A in central Beijing. Areas B and F, where he had lived, were excluded, and other areas were temporarily excluded based on the traffic jam on the Fourth Ring Road and the age of the community. Area C is locked. Then, Wang Luodan’s Weibo pictures were compared with Google Earth satellite images to determine the environment of his community. Finally, after on-the-spot investigation, we compared Wang Luodan’s photos and accurately found the community where she lives. Watching this step by step will make you sweat. This netizen is just an ordinary person and does not use any high-tech means. Based on the inferences and exclusions from the pictures and text posted by Wang Ludan on Weibo, it was easy to find her residence. Fortunately, Wang Luodan has moved to a new home. Every picture we post and every content we post leaks our information. It would be fine if the circle of friends were all very familiar friends, but if someone with evil intentions saw it…it would be very scary to think about it. Almost every mother has been a netizen. From the child\’s birth to his growth, I hope to record every bit of his growth and every moment. But I don’t know that there are still some people who have another purpose when browsing our circle of friends. Thinking about it makes me panic. WeChat is no longer a simple friendship. There are business clients, insurance and financial managers, and strangers I met at events. We do not know the character or temperament of those we are not familiar with. Many mothers show off their children without telling them apart.The occasion does not matter the content, whether it is bathing, swimming, eating, playing, or taking the children out for weekends, once the trip is completed, the family’s travel trajectory can be seen in the circle of friends. Some mothers post their children\’s awards or certificates and mosaic information such as the child\’s school and name, but some mothers don\’t care at all. The child\’s name, school and even class are all displayed in the circle of friends at a glance. We were so happy about it, but we didn’t know that we left key information to people with evil intentions. After my son Xiaoguai was born, I also showed off my baby in various ways. I also filmed a short video of a little boy who was under one year old wearing crotchless pants and climbing on the sofa. At that time I just thought it was fun and interesting. I once saw a mother posting a photo of her first-grade daughter doing homework topless in the summer on WeChat Moments. I\’m not familiar with her, we met her at an event. Obviously she didn\’t set up a group, and her daughter\’s private photos were displayed in her entire circle of friends. Last year, I saw on Weibo that a well-known blogger was a pedophile. He followed at least 300 accounts on Weibo that trafficked and shared pictures and videos of pedophiles. He also forwarded suspected pedophile content on his Weibo, overseas INS and other social accounts, many of which directly exposed children\’s sexual organs. , obscene and sexual photos and videos. Some photos that parents find funny and post them on Weibo or Moments are downloaded by people with evil intentions and used in improper ways, causing harm to children. I quickly rummaged through it and deleted the post I had posted to Moments. But it’s inevitable to feel uneasy inside. As Mr. Lu Xun said, \”I have never been afraid to speculate on the worst malice of the Chinese people.\” We don\’t want to guess that there are unkind people in our circle of friends, but the evil of people\’s hearts is sometimes beyond imagination. If you love sharing, you must also be able to protect yourself. When sharing in Moments, it’s best to pay attention to the following points. Whether it is Moments or other social software, do not display your address when posting content and pictures. Set the permissions for the circle of friends and turn off the function that allows strangers to view ten photos. It is best to set up a group to show off your children or share your running route map and share it only with family and friends. Turn off the GPS function when taking pictures, and do not upload the original pictures when sharing them. Information involving children and private information must be mosaic or graffiti, such as children’s names, schools, classes and other information. Never post exposed photos of your children. If criminals take them and use them for other purposes, the consequences will be disastrous. We love our children and we must learn to protect them. You need to be careful when sharing your baby, and don’t let your child’s important information leak out or be harmed due to carelessness. As a parent, you never need the approval of others. That \”Dad/Mom\” is the greatest recognition for us.
