oh and another thought, Moms might want to upload photos of their babes or kids in hopes of an agent stumbling over the pics and possibly get an acting/modeling job. Think about how many people, adults and children, have gotten famous from posting video and pics on youtube. Before this post I had already planned a forum discussion on child agents and modeling. Just waiting for more moms to populate the site.

Let me clarify, I am not a professional photographer. I am unlearned in the aspect of photography law more specifically "Street Photography."

I was speaking from a place of respect for other parents and risk of exploitation of children. Which is very real. As fellow parents, mutual respect, care, consideration, and discretion should be taken into account.

Taking photographs of others, children included, is one thing. Uploading them onto the internet along with possible physical location details such as place of activity, date, time, etc. is quite another.

Moms, as you can see, PolkMoms has been built in a way that photos and videos can be shared. This was meant to be a way for Moms to come online and have fun with sharing family photos. In future you will see more pics of my children in these formats.

Uploading makes it easier:

Lakeland Sunday School Teacher Arrested on Child Porn Charges

"BARTOW | Volunteer Sunday school teacher at Lakeland Acres Baptist Church was arrested today after deputies discovered he had pasted photographs of some of his female students’ faces onto naked photos of women’s bodies, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office said.


Danny Lynn Parker, 38, of Kathleen was charged with 90 counts of sexual performance by a child and one count of possession of child pornography, according to the Sheriff’s Office.


The pictures Parker is accused of using are his own, the Sheriff’s Office said, from photographs he took at Lakeland Acres Baptist Church, where he volunteers as a teacher, and Lake Wales Care Center, where he volunteers as a youth camp photographer.


The Sheriff’s Office said a Dade City resident set off the investigation when 90 photographs of children with their faces cut out were found in a trash bin at a Dade City egg farm. The citizen brought the trash that included the pictures to Dade City police, and officers found Parker’s name and address among the items, the Sheriff’s Office said.


Police contacted the Sheriff’s Office and deputies responded to Parker’s home on O’Conner Road, where he lives with his parents. They asked to search Parker’s room and found a photo album with faces of the 90 girls, between the ages of 5 and 15, pasted on top of naked and sexually explicit photos of women’s bodies from pornographic magazines. Parker told the Sheriff’s Office he had purchased the magazines in Hillsborough and Pasco counties because they are not sold in Polk County, the Sheriff’s Office said, and admitted to cutting and pasting the photographs of children’s heads."
