The Hidden Dangers of Sharing Your Child’s News Online – Why You Should Think Twice

Gamal Moustafa

 

Introduction

In today’s digital world, sharing life’s special moments on social media has become second nature. Parents, in particular, love to share their children’s achievements, milestones, and daily adventures online. However, while it may seem harmless, sharing your child’s news on social media comes with serious risks. From privacy concerns to long-term consequences, it’s essential to understand why you should avoid exposing your child’s personal life online.

The Risks of Sharing Your Child’s News Online

1. Privacy and Identity Theft

Every time you post your child’s full name, birthdate, school, or location, you are unintentionally creating a digital footprint that could be misused. Cybercriminals and identity thieves can collect such details to commit fraud or steal your child’s identity for financial gain.

2. Online Predators and Safety Risks

Oversharing about your child makes them more vulnerable to online predators. Posting pictures and specific details about where your child goes to school, their daily routines, or extracurricular activities can allow strangers to track their whereabouts and approach them in real life.

3. Future Consequences for Your Child

What seems like an innocent post today could have long-term effects on your child’s future. As they grow older, they may feel embarrassed or uncomfortable with the personal stories and pictures you shared online. Colleges, employers, and even peers could have access to these posts, potentially affecting their opportunities and social relationships.

4. Loss of Consent and Digital Footprint

Children cannot fully understand or consent to their personal lives being shared online. By posting about them, you are deciding on their behalf what is part of their permanent digital history. As they mature, they may wish to have control over their own online presence.

5. Exploitation by Third Parties

Once a photo or personal detail is shared on the internet, you lose control over how it’s used. Scammers, marketers, and even artificial intelligence tools can exploit images and information for commercial or malicious purposes.

The Rise of AI and Its Impact on Your Child’s Data

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, the way data is collected, analyzed, and used has changed dramatically. AI-driven facial recognition, deepfake technology, and machine learning algorithms can track and analyze images, videos, and personal data posted online.

AI Facial Recognition: Many AI-powered tools can now scan the internet to match and identify faces. A simple uploaded photo of your child could be used in ways beyond your control.

Data Profiling: AI systems collect vast amounts of data from social media to create digital profiles. This can lead to personalized ads targeting your child even before they reach adulthood.

Cybersecurity Threats: Hackers and cybercriminals can use AI to exploit personal information, making children more susceptible to scams and online threats.

How to Protect Your Child’s Privacy Online

✅ Limit What You Share – Avoid posting identifiable details such as full names, locations, school names, or daily routines. ✅ Adjust Privacy Settings – Set your social media accounts to private and limit who can view your posts. ✅ Ask for Your Child’s Consent – If your child is old enough, discuss what they are comfortable sharing. ✅ Use Secure Platforms – If sharing is necessary, consider using private family-sharing apps instead of public social media. ✅ Think Long-Term – Before posting, ask yourself: “Will my child be okay with this in five or ten years?” ✅ Be Aware of AI Risks – Understand how AI can collect and use online data, and take precautions to minimize your child’s digital exposure.

Conclusion

While it’s tempting to celebrate your child’s milestones online, the risks of sharing their personal news outweigh the benefits. Your child’s privacy, safety, and future digital presence should be a priority. By being mindful of what you post and taking steps to protect their information, you ensure their online safety and give them the freedom to create their own digital identity when they’re ready.

Remember: What you share today can impact your child’s future forever. Choose privacy and protection over online exposure.

BALITANG KONSYUMER: Unveiling the Hidden Dangers of Skin-Whitening Products when Mercury is found and sold in the PH sparks brazenness alarm

MALOLOS, BULACAN -- In a world where fair skin is often seen as beautiful, skin-whitening products (SWP) can be very alluring. However, there is a hidden reality lurking beneath the promise of a more radiant complexion that potential buyers of these beauty commodities in the Philippines must consider. These supposedly harmless creams and lotions contain mercury, which has recently been brought to light through revelations regarding illegal trade.

Mercury, being a toxic heavy metal; is found in most SLPs because it inhibits melanin production. Mercury still pervades some brands sold on the market despite the regulatory bodies' ban like Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for instance here in the Philippines. The ramifications of employing such mercury-filled products are dire; they range from similar illnesses like contact dermatitis to more severe ones including immuno-compromised systems and neurologic defects.

A groundbreaking documentary dubbed 'The Dark Side of Skin-Lightening' was launched Monday morning (April 22nd, 2024 -- Bulacan local time) at La Consolacion University-Philippines (LCUP) in Malolos, Bulacan with an intention to create awareness about this pressing issue. The documentary, which was presented both in-person to 1,200 senior high school students and streamed LIVE on Facebook during the school's Earth Day Celebration, highlighted the global proliferation of mercury-added SLPs and the urgent need for stricter regulations to protect Filipino consumers.

During the forum, BAN Toxics conducts a LIVE testing session on the table using an XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) analyzer, with the help of Traders Industrial Supply Company Inc. (TRISCO) ensuring no mercury is presented in some beauty products. All these imported or locally-made products are not completely sponsored for scientific hazard-related reasons.

In light of these shocking revelations from 'BAN Toxics', it is crucial for individuals to take proactive steps to safeguard their health and well-being. Before purchasing any of beauty or cosmetic products, especially skin-whitening creams to try it out… Consumers are advised to thoroughly check all the list of ingredients for any mention of mercury or other harmful chemicals when you always read the label.

The other thing is that, one should consider consulting with dermatologists or any trusted health professionals to guarantee safety and effectiveness of the products in question.

As long as the demand for skin lightening creams remains high, there will always be a need for consumers to be on guard. By being wise enough, well informed consumers can hugely assist in fighting against mercury laden beauty products’ illegal trade and create a culture of safe and responsible skincare practice.

Our natural skin color should be embraced and celebrated without falling for the dangerous traps hidden behind creams used to bleach the human skin.

A mini reminder to my future self and to everyone else.

Under no circumstances, should you ever blindly follow something.

Even if it sounds correct, even if it's coming from someone trusted. Always question. Always check your sources.

Blindly following a person will never do you or anyone any good, trust your own intellect and think for yourself.

Talk to other people, even if you don't agree with them. Talk does not mean argue, or debate, Talk means sharing ideas, thoughts, asking questions. Research that topic, open those books.

Thank you and goodnight

Keith when faced with the slightest inconvenience: fuck it we need to get Under

[princessofghosts-posts]

Was thinking about how in ToA we got a bit more of a domestic feeling with CHB,something that I personally never felt much after the first ever book,before the plot kickstarted and,no matter how traumatizing it is,having the older campers teaching the new ones classes would be something else.

Apollo commented in the Hidden Oracle how some demigods were new and got brought at camp after the war (6 months is a lot of time after all–),while also pointing out that most of the old characters we know are away,trying to live their life,but come back periodically.

Now,image Clarisse teaching some fighting class in the arena to new demigods,and they are all a bit wary of her because they don't know her but some of her siblings do and they talked about her. And while the tension is high Clarisse isn't aware of it and start to shout,frustrated by their incapability of striking her down.

"Have you all gone soft?! At your ages I was battling a drakon with the blood of my enemies on my hands while trying to win a war! You need to do fucking better if you want to survive!" and everyone is just confused because they know a bit of the wars,but their acknowledge of them is only a surface type of level,so they have no idea of what the hell she is talking about and they are getting scared.

Some of them ask questions about them to the Stolls,only to find themselves more lost than never. "Ah,the war. Which one you talking about? The one where we tried to raid Manhattan's candy stores or the one where we put the mines on the wrong hill?" Wdym you guys tried to steal candies in the middle of a war to save the world? "Well,with all due respect,Percy was handling it quite well before the pig started flying".

Sometimes,when Will is in a good mood,he start talking about the one with the giants himself–usually Nico is always nearby and either nod at his words or clarifies some things. "You guys weren't there for that but basically the whole conflict was based on racism. You see,there was this anemic roman soldier guy that–" and while you are immersed in his story,you sometimes hear a quite voice that "I literally had to chase you to save you from people that were chasing you" and "Will,pretty sure I killed the guy,you don't need to act as if he is still alive" or "It was crazy–I never knew that the coach was actually a good flighter,especially after Albania".

When Drew complains about something during breakfast she tries to guilt-trip Chiron with "Remember when you left us to defend ourselves alone,before coming back at the last moment and helped us with your 'my little pony family'? Yeah,not so over that yet. This is way having the pavilion built in pink would be a better option than–" and you just stare in the fucking air because what the fuck???

When Rachel visit,and isn't locked in her cave trying to understand what's going on with her "oracle's powers",she mutters things about the wars that seems disconnected to everyone–expect people that were there at time. "Should have said to Annabeth to crash that stupid helicopter into my father's building" ; "Fuck being an Oracle,let me go back to my Ariadne roots in the Labyrinth" ; "I should have hit Kronos harder" ; "Should have hit Octavian when I still could if I knew this would have happened". Most of the time it's just frustration building up but every time she whisper something they collectively ignore it.

Nyssa will look at you dead in the eyes and– "My brother blew up" without fucking elaborating and walking away. And you are there horrified about it.

Percy and Annabeth don't really talk about the wars but they will gave you the details about the stupidest things ever. Wdym you jumped into the rivers,only to purify them from pollution,in the middle of a war? Wdym you spent half a day trying to wake up statues in all New York?? You went in Tartarus??

And it's just so funny because the new demigods will know some informations about the conflicts,but they weren't there to witness it all. The drop lore is insane here. I just know that Drew,Nico and Clarisse always talk about it,exaggerating it even,only to fuck with the new campers more.

Prompt 175

Talon -William Cobb, that was his name once, he remembers that much at least- stares down blankly at the small child who is clinging to its -his His HIS- pant leg, tiny claws digging into the cloth and gripping onto the armor. It he freezes, unsure as to how to react. With Hunts or Orders, the talon knew exactly what to do. Entertain. Kill. Simple. 

Talons were supposed to kill witnesses, he- IT knows this, especially as one of the oldest talons that belonged to the Court. Yet the talon hesitates, something stopping it from doing so. The child looks up at it, something oh so familiar about the motion, with blue-green eyes before burying their face against its- his?- leg. 

“'̵m̸ ̵c̴o̷l̵d̸…” the child-chick… spoke? Not-spoke. Something else, familiar-yet-not. But cold, he knew that. Cold was bad, it meant sleep, not rest but a deep frozen sleep that took time to awaken from. A dangerous thing. A thing not-talons didn’t wake up from. 

The chick -Hadn’t he had a child once, all that time ago- whined, bringing its-his attention back to them. Talon could wait to return to the Court for a few hours more- the task it had been given was already complete-and keep the Cold away from the tiny chick. Just for a little bit.

I love how OFMD is the complete opposite of bury your gays.

People can get stabbed through, get shot in the leg and get gangrene, get poisoned by their wife, get stabbed by their wife, get smashed in the head with a cannon ball, get brought on the brink of death, get thrown off a ship in the middle of the sea, and get stranded on a tiny island.

But as long as they're gay, they just won't die. Unburiable gays. Everyone else dies gruesome deaths but not a single gay person has died. David Jenkins is the only one doing things right.

I haven’t seen anyone else mention this but I think it’s really fucked that Shauna had to dig up her dead baby and move his remains because the wilderness cultists won’t stop praying on his grave and thanking him for his “sacrifice” and on top of that they wanted Shauna to be “honoured” as the mother, (something no one, not even Nat tried to put a stop to) like there’s so many disturbing layers to the cult of Lottie Matthews when you unpack it all.

Unsorted WOF thoughts part 231:

WOF books rated by how accurate their titles are:

The Dragonet Prophecy: 0/10. Those dragonets did NOT follow the prophecy.

The Lost Heir: 3/10. The heir was lost, but she was literally found at the beginning of the book.

The Hidden Kingdom: 6/10. Could be more hidden, tbh.

The Dark Secret: 7/10. That secret sure was dark.

The Brightest Night: 10/10. The night was bright. Both literally and figuratively. No notes.

Moon Rising: 10/10. She sure did.

Winter Turning: 11/10. He sure did. Also doubles as foreshadowing for the fact that things will take a turn for the worse for the IceWings.

Escaping Peril: 0/10. Nobody escaped shit. Scarlet didn't escape Peril, and the Jade Winglet didn't escape the BIGGER peril that Darkstalker represented.

Talons of Power: 8/10. Those talons were powerful. Minus points for the power being removed from said talons at the end.

Darkness of Dragons: 9/10. Those dragons sure had some darkness in them. Minus points for said darkness being subverted against them at the end.

The Lost Continent: -1/10. Nobody lost the continent. They just didn't find it. Also, somebody DID find it right in the prologue. And it continues to be found several more times throughout the rest of the arc.

The Hive Queen: 10/10. She sure was.

The Poison Jungle: 10/10. It sure was.

The Dangerous Gift: -17/10. That gift was literally the most helpful thing in the entire series.

The Flames of Hope: 9/10. Luna used flames to spread hope. Minus points because Luna didn't even need to use the flamesilk to save the world in the end.

anyway i actually love animus magic as an allegory. i love that power doesn't make someone automatically a bad person or give them less of a 'soul' for using it but it does inhibit a sense that you can do whatever you want without consequences and without regulating it you'll invariably end up uncontrollably hurting yourself and others. I love that being the message of a kid's story. I love it so much

Tsunami the Seawing (Revisited)

Been over a year since I started this blog and there are some designs I want to freshen up a little bit so here's a bit of a new design for Tsunami!

[Image Description: A digital drawing depicting Tsunami from Wings of Fire. She is a blue slightly muscular seawing dragon with a light sky blue underbelly and a deep blue neck, nose bridge and forehead. She has swept back curled lighter blue webby fin that goes from her forehead to her tail, they resemble slightly like tidal waves. She has similar webby fins on her chest, a tail fin, and ears that are similar to fish fins. Her offwhite bioluminescent scales are shaped like wave markings and teardrops and they're notably on her shoulders knees tummy, tail and brow. She also has swirl bioluminescent markings on her fin like wings to signify she is of seawing royalty. On her chin, she has two long barbels similar to her father's and then two more barbels that are similar to a shark's pectoral fin. She also have shark like fins on her elbows and on the bottom part of her tail. She has a little bit of yellow on the side of her belly, on her upper eyelids and on her esca. Her horns are a deep dark blue that resemble the tip of a conch shell. Her left eyebrow has a scar that runs vertically through it and her eyes are green. She is standing giving a toothy smile. In the second image she's shown to be wearing a purple pearl necklace, and two fin rings on her tail fin. /.End ID]
