I'm sure there will be comments suggesting how they are in the wrong...even being called snoopy???
That's actually the first thing I thought of when I read the OP. I was surprised (and I'll admit a little taken aback - because, decades later, I can still hear my mother's voice saying "mind your own business") that the OP was looking to see what was on someone else's phone. I never do. It's none of my business and, frankly, I could care less what someone else does with their phone.
Do you look at what other people have on their phones?
I am kind of wondering if everyone else is looking over shoulders to see what other people are up to. Perhaps I'm strangely uninterested in other people's screens.
I think when your child is in the camera frame of someone's phone screen and you see this, you should as a parent, know why, and ask....especially if it is a stranger to you, as this person was to the OP.
Don't forget, put this in context... the real issue was whether this stranger was putting the OP's young daughter's image on a random strangers facebook.
But, as with all other posts supporting this Mom/Op

How hypocritical that it is "snoopy" to confront a stranger filming your child....But, NOT at all inappropriate for this stranger to be filming Your child.
I always wonder if posters like you who freak out about their precious dahling and micromanage every freaking thing look at posts about hover parents and say OH MY NOT ME!
Your children attend a parade in the city - perhaps the Thanksgiving Day parade. At some point you notice a film crew from the local news station doing the standard story for the evening news. Do you ask the film crew to edit your child out because she was behind the on air reporter? Because who knows if one of the camera people might be a perv? Or even who KNOWS who is watching the news and might see your child? Her face might be seen by millions of people!
Whatever.
It is obvious several of you have no boundaries where your children are concerned. Snap away...No questions asked.....it would be expecting too much where other children are concerned, and certainly not where their parents are concerned. You need to worry less about my opinions and examine your own. Peace out

Right, because that is what people have been saying....

No boundries? How did we get to "no boundries"? By having different boundries? People see my kids in real life all kinds of places. How is that any different?
I'm still wondering about the parade scenario though.
Whatever.

Boundaries? We're suppose to raise them with boundaries? Wait. We can't throw raw meat and Cheetos at them before we blow second hand smoke in their little faces and yell "Run out in the street and play!". After dark. Without a helmet. And with kids from bad families. Where, hopefully, they'll meet up with a wandering photographer with an iPhone who wants to film Childrenus Withlocoparentus in their natural habitat to sell to TLC.
Like I said....Thanks for proving my point.
So... If it is seen by so many of you..... as so profoundly upsetting to ask another parent not to include your child in their photos, and you are so offended that you are asked not to post someone else's child's pic on a social media site? Where would you draw the line?
You realize that goes both ways.
"Please don't talk to, look at, comment on my child, no matter how cute and adorable (or rude and annoying)"
"Please don't let your children interact with mine"
"Please pretend my child is not here, and not a part of this group"
I think most people draw the line at unusual, alarming, inappropriate,or suspicious behavior. A mother filming her child in a group activity falls under none of those categories.
