Why does facebook bring out the inconsiderate side of some people?

[TrystInn]

I'm a foster parents and I DO NOT post pictures of our children online and our families and friends respect our rules on this. I hope your family member respects your feelings on this.

Yes most people who facebook are morons. They post intimate details about themselves or YOU with no regard to the consequences. Do I really need to know that your kid had a fever or pooped in the toilet? Do I really need to know what fitness class you like or your favorite recycling center? My family posts photos of me and my kids on facebook and it pisses me off. If I wanted photos of my kids on the internet I would post them myself!

You have every right to be upset about this and you've already approached the relative to take them down. She won't? Well, you'll need to report it to FB and, while it probably won't happen overnight, they should take action to remove them.

Ever see the Matrix? you are now on the grid. One of the many reasons I do not do Facebook. My son signed me up and I think I have "typed" 5 entries. You can share your anger with yourself ultimately for putting the photos out there for the world to see. I would remove them all from all Facebook accounts. Your ex sounds like a winner, good decision to leave him though.

As I've said before, FB is Satans greatest accomplishment! (Before that it was Little Debbies)

I would just try to explain it again how the X is a threat and having access to the pictures just fuels his fire.Try a different angle with the cousin. Me, I don't post pictures often. If I have X issues I would not at all,especially if the X was saying he was going to kill me and my current dh. People DO kill each other over all kinds of lame issues,and you never know what the heck will set them off.A picture of a kid he can't see may be enough....regardless of whether or not that really is his kid.

Reporting it to facebook might be the trick.Tell them they will be liable if your unstable ex does anything.A lawyer could find FB financially responsible for being the trigger that sets him off.

I agree with Pokey; I would be furious. Isn't it always that a perpetrator gets mad at the victim!

I worry about the future of this country, especially after seeing the mobs on the news trying to buy the new tennis shoes. The future DNA doesn't look promising!

Thanks so much everyone for your support, understanding and insight!

Update: I pulled out all the stops and called my Daddy, lol. He is best friends with the lady's husband (the lady being the one who posted the photos)

Whatever he did or said worked because I awoke to an apology email and the pictures are GONE! I haven't checked my ex husband's profile, but I have contacted facebook about it.

And just to clear it up: I did not take these pictures myself, nor did I have them on my profile. Honestly, I didn't know they existed until I heard they were on my ex's profile and searched through my family's facebook photos and found them displayed publicly on this relative's. They were taken at a holiday gathering when lots of photos were being taken, I just assumed like an idiot that since everyone knew of the volatile nature of my prior marriage that consent would be sought before just publishing them.

Anyway, thanks again for your concern, and opinions!

Anyway, so sorry you've had to go through this Heather. The Ex sounds like a real winner.
