Child and family lawyer Megan Harrington-Johnson joined Breakfast with Martin Bester to talk about your rights and the rights of your children regarding photos and images of them online. 

A recent article pointed out to what to do if a stranger takes photos of your child in a public space. What to do about friends and family that post photos of your children on social media without asking?

"The golden rule is - don't post pictures of your children or other people's children. It's a dangerous thing", says Harrington-Johnson. 

"If you are in public - people may take pictures of you. However, if you are not comfortable with it - you can ask the person to remove it from their camera."

"As soon as a child has the desire, they can tell their parents to not take pictures of them - they have the rights to do so." 

"Schools are private spaces so parents must give consent if they want their children to be photographed." 

"Celebrities are public figures - so they may be photographed in public - and they know it." 

"If you are involved in an incident where you are a part of - you may photograph the moment. If the incident is taking place in the public - you can film it." 

"If you are in a working environment and a part of a meeting - you may record the interaction or meeting. If you are not apart of the meeting - you are not allowed to record or film the moment. 

"Always remember - if you are in a public space - you can film and photograph the moment - and only if you are part of it."
