On a side note: do you realize that if you post images of your children on your website that you may actually be aiding a child molestor? Often times pedophiles distribute child porn across the internet via email - special boards etc. unfortunately they often times use the faces/heads of children from those sites which post images of their children. By putting those heads on their images they hide the identity of the actual victim - making it almost impossible for law enforcement to find the victim and therefore the pedophile. In at least one case a family was investigated, but it was discovered the face had been lifted of their website where they were showing images of their children. Furthermore, I have frequented the boards of these pedophiles as part of an online watchdog group, they will refer each other to links of family sites where there are photos of small children playing nude together. But never have I seen a post referring to a cgi image. I have further managed to convince several schools to not post pictures and names of children on their webpages when giving news about awards. Pedophiles get the name, the school and grade adn therefore the general vicinity of where the child lives. They become obsessed with children from image more often than you'd think, and if they become obsessed with one form a school page they know where to find that child and they tell other pedophiles to go there to look at the "natural" pictures of the kids. So while this concern is helpful to a degree, there are dangers on the web to our children that are far more serious and common and the true enablers are the parents (who post pictures and addresses or photos of their homes and state the city and state where they live) and grandparents and the schools with their bragging images that give out far more information than they shold. after all the number one rule that children are taught in regards to netsafety is to never ever give out personal information - but then their parents and schools do it for them....
