I feel like we're in this weird place at the moment where parents put tons of stuff about their kid (pictures, videos, anecdotes, etc) on Facebook. Now, whilst I think most parents have the best intentions with this, I do wonder about the privacy implications. Would I want Facebook having multiple-pictures-a-day from my earliest years growing up? I'm never quite sure if I should mention this to my sister, who is a prolific poster of pictures/videos of her two young kids.

As to the public spankings, of course they shouldn't be on Facebook. It's pretty insulting, embarrassing and derogatory to their kids -- I think I'd struggle to forgive my parents if they'd done similar to me. There's also something troubling about a parent wanting to film that.
