Finally got my mom to stop posting my kid's full name online
She kept tagging our location and his school in every photo, and after the third data breach notice from his pediatrician's office, I sat her down with a map showing how easy it is to find our house from that info. How do you explain digital footprints to someone who still prints out emails?

The map was a smart move. My dad used to post my niece's dance recital schedules with the theater name, and it took showing him a stranger's public Instagram story from the same place to get it. That generation gap on privacy is real.

Wait he posted the actual theater name and schedule? That's like handing out a blueprint to any weirdo. My uncle did something similar with my cousin's soccer game location, full address and everything. It's scary how they don't see the danger.
