I wouldn’t worry too much about that. HO isn’t like FB or other social media–I don’t even know CCE’s name or home state, let alone the name of his daughter or grand. As long as there’s no identifiable info pixs are safe . . . but you’re prob right that he should confirm with mom.
But isn’t it a completely open publicly available website?
Well yes. I was thinking identifiable info; perhaps my brain hasn’t wrapped itself around the more nefarious aspects of AI and/or how people can distort and exploit images

Good and fair question - daughter 1 (mom of my grandson) is fine when he’s this young, but will want to vet anything later.
I’d never go against my daughter’s wishes, but like @gaffk said, this place isn’t very personally identifiable - unless one wants it to be.

Not related to the question about posting my grandson’s images, but thinking forward…
I’ve posted here (and on other topic-related websites) lots of personal info - that I spent more than 8 years in the Army, that I worked as a medical lab tech after the Army and during engineering school, then later went to law school and became an intellectual property attorney and retired young following that. And that I have 4 kids, 3 daughters and a son, 2 daughters are engineers and the son is working on his engineering degree. And that I live in the Southeastern US.
So much info (in fact, often much less info) is often enough to fingerprint someone. But I’ve challenged some folks who think they are experts to fingerprint me, and they’ve failed.
Why? I don’t have any social media accounts. No real LinkedIn (because I didn’t want recruiter calls; I did have a fake one to search for IP professionals I might want to hire), no FB or IG (saw no point).

I do but I have nothing to hide (certainly nothing that couldn’t be found out rather easily if one were so inclined), and don’t suffer from paranoia or the delusion that we haven’t been transparent citizens for at least a decade.
That’s why I also have no issue using my actual first name vs. some anonymous handle

Yep, HO is about as social media as I get–no FB, IG, etc. for me. I suppose if someone really wanted to find me they could, but I can’t imagine why anyone would want to

Good for you. I don’t want anyone imputing something they decide I am guilty of to my four kids. Recall the DC mayoral aide who got fired for racism for complaining that the budget was niggardly? The folks who were exercised about it paraded around his house and his kids’ schools.

Yep, I’ve shared plenty here that if someone wanted to find me, they easily could. I just hope not to give them enough information to impersonate me to open a credit card, steal my tax refund, or create a deep fake.
With our kid we are taking the general approach of keeping his image off the internet until he is of age to decide for himself. There are still some press photos of him out on the interwebs from some of our political activity – he likes to ask every so often if he’s "famous."

Probably the wisest course. With my own kids or with my grandson, only very early photos, because they start morphing so often through other relatives’ faces, and after 8 months and through 9-18 months they become completely different images.
As for credit stuff, if you haven’t done it, it’s pretty easy now (MUCH easier than 10 years ago) to go to all 3 credit bureaus and freeze everyone’s credit. All 6 of us are frozen at each of the big 3, so no one can open any new account for anyone.
Then, if we do need an inquiry to get through (say an apartment complex at the college town), we make them tell us which bureau they use and only unfreeze that one for 2 days.
No one can fraudulently open a credit line of any sort while you’re frozen at all 3.

My 3rd daughter is gallivanting off in Florida for the week, leaving us to deal with her beautiful but evil attack cat.
I just talked my son into taking his life into his hands by scooping out the cat poo into doubled grocery bags, to take out into tonight’s trash pickup.
Brave man, he is.
