You will not find any photos of kids in my profile. Yes, we do live in a scary world. Unfortunately, this site, along with many others, requires us to state in our profile whether we have kids and, worse yet, whether they are at home or far away, unless we lie about it which would defeat the whole purpose of being here. I don't remember if there were any options to not say, but I don't think so. It's just too dangerous to have kids' photos on here.

pisceslady7: It really bothers me when people put photos of children on their profile. You really don't know who is looking at the pictures of your children. There were cases on the news recently of men dating single Mums on dating sites to 'groom' the children and police warned people against putting the photos on-line.
I feel quite queasy when I see these photos. How do you feel? Should they be banned/discouraged? Just wondering if it is 'only me' who sees it as a problem?
Many scammers place photos with children trying to lure ladies-girls into motherhood!
