I was told I couldn't take a picture of Donald Duck!

[sbell111]

Not sure why you want to take credit for something thats a little sick,...

Why are vampires sick? Was it something they drank?

I am not making light of any ones fears but this post is really sort of humorous. My husband thinks I am the most over protective mother in the world, but I have never worried about anyone taking DD's picture at Disney. I worried about her going overboard or getting lost on the pirate cruise but never thought about someone taking her picture. As a matter of fact as she was going on and arriving back from the cruise I took alot of pictures of her and they all have other peoples kids in them. I know we all think our kid is the cutest but I don't imagine many of us have people running around Disney trying to get a picture of our child.

So no pictures of Donald Duck in sunglass impersonating a vampire unless my child poses in the picture? Got it!!!

Sorry, didn't read the whole thread. Did I miss anything else?

ITA. This is so sad. Why couldn't have mom just told the other mom, that's our little girl, and it's so sweet they are visiting with each other. Maybe be kind. I feel so very sorry for the husband. He will now forever have to carefully analyze normal photo situations if he's even willing to take a photo again. So unnecessary.

ITA.

Though everyone considers their children precious, I don't find stranger's kids all that wonderful.

Me, too. I'm actually sick of all those little kids walking into my picture! Is there a law against all these people infringing on my photos?

You'll run into people in life who don't think that an adult calling children vampires is appropriate, when someone referred to a severely abused foster child as a vampire even more people would find it sick.

Antree is the OP for the post only, merryweather20 would be the "original poster" for the foster children posts, previous poster could refer to anyone. Sorry you were confused

Ok, we are so splitting hairs at this point, but typically when someone uses the acronymn OP it is, in fact, to refer to the original poster of the thread not the original poster of some side conversation. Again, the only reason I bring it up is because I doubt the OP wants to be mistaken for the one who began the foster-vampire-Michael Jackson-kids conversation.

The more correct acronym for this thread should be -

OOPS.

If you didn't want the issue probed, you shouldn't have posted it.

You are definately right about that....I should have never posted about it.

I really don't understand your apparent need to continue the issue, by attacking my every post or why you would fool yourself into thinking that you know my husband and the inner workings of my family better than I do. So I'll just do what "you do" (because surely everyone handles things in the same manner ) and concede...just as a means to end the ordeal.

I think I'll find a less controversial thread somewhere else, like the war in Iraq or politics or captial punishment....

Well no, since I didn't use the acronym. I apologized if you were confused already... Way to go off topic.

Just so you know, you do have one person who agrees with you. There is a huge difference between having some random kid in the background, and intentionally taking a picture of someone else's kid without permission.

When you noticed that the mother was upset, you did the right thing. Her reasons for not wanting her child photographed are her own and no one else's business. She and her child have a right to privacy

Because of my job, I have had to have a lot of child abuse prevention training. I see thing much differently that most people do because I know the consequences.

Don't you think she might have asked her husband to delete the picture, mentioning the other woman's discomfort, instead of treating him like a dolt, and just trying to erase it without explanation? In this instance, I think she could have treated her husband a little more kindly.

I think this thread went OT a long time ago, dude.

That's the thing. Standing in a line at WDW, she actually doesn't have a right to privacy.

Actually, I do have the right to take anyone's photo without permission in a public place where a reasonable right to privacy cannot be expected (aka a theme park). I don't have the right to stalk you or harass you but I can take a photo of little Jimmy chasing a butterfly if I want to. If that creeps you out, well, I guess you'll just have to be creeped out. It's called freedoms. Sometimes they can be offensive.

Actually if you reread my post I meant that it wasn't right to go ahead and get in on someone else's moment and take pictures of a stranger's child. I am not talking about a child who happens to be in a crowd, but JUST someone else's child because you think they are cute. As in I think it is weird and rude. And yes you do have the freedom to take pictures of other people's children if that is how you like to spend your day and your vacation. There are lots of things legal in this country, but it doesn't make them right IN MY OPINION.

Like you said I have the freedom to state my opinion that DOING THAT IS CREEPY!

You don't need to reply to my post, because I am just stating my opinion, no further nasty replies needed. Let's agree to disagree.

I'm out.

That's the difference between "feelings" and "facts."

Facts are what IS.

Feelings don't CARE what IS.

Now that you said FBI there are now 3 agents watching this thread, as well as the NSA and Dept. of Homeland Security.

I'm glad no one has said bomb yet...oops.

You totally insult the other poster and then want to 'agree to disagree'. Interesting.

 

[Lynn5700]

This is still going on lol!

FEEEElings, whoa, whoa, whoa, FEEEELINGS....

If we can't take pictures of Donald, the terrorists win.
