If Facebook's rules permit the posting of pictures of children then they are encouraging the practice. And governments are also responsible for permitting social media companies to allow such content to be posted publicly and permanently.

Yes, the parents should have the sense not to do this but the victims here are the children who can't stop their parents from invading their privacy. Many of them are now old enough to have their own social media accounts and discover what their parents did to them when they were younger. Presumably they aren't happy about what their parents did and I knew they wouldn't be back in the late 00s when this practice was first starting.
