Kate Peterson discusses the risks associated with the practice of “sharenting” where parents post photos and share detailed information on social media about their child’s life. As a result, many children now have a digital footprint long before they can use the internet or create social media accounts themselves. Being able to crowdsource challenges and share information with other parents can function as an important part of a caregiver’s support system. However, the practice also increases a child’s risk of identity theft, stalking, cyberbullying, and may violate a child’s privacy, resulting in serious—if unintended—consequences.
