I either missed the original message or am getting the list back to
front today. Both occasionally occurs with the digests.
There's A LOT of context missing here, but whoever took the photos
apparently is close enough to the original Google+ poster to know who
he/she is (I'm guessing she) and invite him/her to look at them. So my
first reaction, in the face of total lack of any information even
hinting at wrongdoing, is he/she is over-reacting A WHOLE LOT.
But, I find the "however ... especially if" portion of the response very
disturbing in the assumptions it makes on absolutely no evidence
whatsoever that the "photographer" (assuming it was actually a
photographer, and not just someone with a digital camera & Google+) must
be serving up kiddie non-porn for the edification of pedophiles.
What about the (REAL) photographer's right to not be hassled by every
ASSHOLE in the entire universe because he wants to take a photograph of
something in a public place, just because there are parents who won't
properly supervise their own children?
If you don't want your children photographed in public places, lock them
in the basement where they belong!

That's kind of creepy.
Not seeing the photos, I don't know if the photographer had the right to take
them. If the kids were in a public place, a place where there is no reasonable
expectation of privacy, then there's nothing legally wrong with doing so.
Same with publishing them. Both the photographer and Google+ would have the
right to publish them as long as their images aren't being used for a
commercial purpose.
However just because it's legal doesn't mean it may not be in very poor taste,
especially if the gallery is one of these sick things filled with pix of
kiddies (not porn but still for the gratification of pedophile pervs).
If it is one of those collections and the photographer refuses to remove dad's
kids then Google+ should. They own the site and they have no obligation to
allow this guy to publish anything he wants to on their site.
Cheers,
frank

I have been invited to view an album of photos on Google+ featuring my children
(both under 13). I did not give permission for the photos to be used online
(or in fact for the photos to be taken in the first place). Is it possible to
get them removed from Google+? I have asked the owner but they are refusing.
As should be clear, this was posted to the Google+ discussion list.
Am I correct in understanding that permission was not required in either
case--in taking the photos or posting them?
