Today I recieved a disturbing email on my flickr account. Here is an excerpt:
So, after doing my own searching, I found that yes... someone has created a profile on flickr, and has four pages of nothing but little girls, under the age of 12 seemingly, some much much younger.
The worst part is not that they are just little girls, but that in MANY of the photographs the girls were in underwear, bathing, or in bathing suits. The pictures of them seperatly were innocent enough, most likely parents capturing some of the sillier moments in their children's life.
However, seeing them together like that made my stomach churn. The picture I had posted was my daughter in a bathing suit, with a flower in her hair. There was nothing revealing about it, but there it was stuck up with all these other pictures.... and I got sick looking at it all.
Immediatly, I deleted the picture, and I blocked the contact... but it's been bugging me - should I do more? Is there anything more TO do? I mean, it is PEREFECTLY legal for this person to make favorites of whatever he wants. Even if we see a potential problematic pattern in the pictures, can we jump to the needed conclusion to REPORT him?
What would you do?
This morning when I logged onto Flickr I noticed someone had faved several of my daughter's pics. I immediately had a weird feeling and checked out the person's profile. Nothing. Then I checked the person's pics. No pics. Next I decided to check their favorites. FOUR pages of nothing but little girls, one of them your little girl or a little girl you know.
