Thinking about the idea of kids that have been adversely affected by the image-sharing practices of their parents, I saw this article on Pedestrian.TV about a boy-now-man (used on this cover of a Placebo album) who is suing the band for their unlicensed use of his photo which caused him trauma and bullying at school.
Could the same thing happen to kids whose images have been posted on blogs and seen by thousands of people? Obviously it's too earlier to tell yet, but we can speculate that they could have that affect. Here's a photo of one of Eden Riley's kids she's posted on her super popular blog Edenland.
The article points out that a similar fate of playground-torture will probably occur for this kid, featured on a controversial cover of TIME magazine earlier this year.

Another story we've been thinking about is how photos uploaded to social networking sites such as Facebook can have really negative impacts if seen by the wrong people. Think this photo of Nick D'Arcy and Kenrick Monk, posing with guns in the U.S. Here's an article detailing what happened, and another about their punishment.
Something else that I find really interesting, which we may be able to cover in our feature, is how people are affected by images of them going viral on the internet, for example, memes. Here's an interview with Zeddie Little aka 'Ridiculously Photogenic Guy' about his experience.
