I went to busch gardens not too long back and they have a play area with water and stuff...well, parents sit there and strip their kids naked right in public...hello, this is just wrong.

Parents take pictures of nude children and put them on Facebook and other places...isn't this child *bleep*?

I don't care if your children are small...but especially if they are females, keep a shirt on them...

Keep a shirt on a small girl,, You mean panties right?? And NO it is not *bleep* if below body parts are not shown. Now if a young female has *bleep* and a parent posts naked pics yes that's *bleep*. This my friend is another reason why childless people have no say what so ever. Until you have a child and want to capture every little thing as your baby grows up (not talking sexual *bleep* here) you have no room to talk. And if this really bothered you why did you not speak to management at Busch Gardens?

I agree with Amy here (whoa, brain rush on that one...lol, its like I'm totally agreeing with myself  ).  There is a certain age when it does become wrong for child nudity...but there are certain ages where it really isn't an issue...especially when photographing above the waist.  My daughter's birth announcements were actually nudes. 

I think the line here is that up to a certain age, we don't see children as sexual creatures, and therefore there really is not an issue with nudity.

As we are both parents we understand this!! I have tons of pics of my girls taking baths together when they were much littler, I actually have a video of my oldest when she was first starting to use the potty. Its milestones, as my kids get older I can look back on these possessions and remember how happy and proud of themselves they were. I also know that they will enjoy these when they themselves have children. To look back and see how close they were!

That's fine but...to put them all over the internet? And when they go out in public?

I myself do not. You will not find one naked pic of my kids on my facebook page. BUT to each their own. Again if you feel so strongly against it report them.

And where would we as parents have stuff to embarrass our kids with on first dates if it weren't for bare baby bottom pics!!!

Marie, my daughter is in the process of potty training and we give her naked time at home (in fact...she's had naked time since birth to help with bladder control and prevent diaper rash, and my child's never had diaper rash).  If a friend comes over, I'm not going to change her routine.  And, again, there is a difference between topless at two years old and topless at twelve years old. 

A friend of mine brought her boyfriend over one night in the middle of winter, and when I was giving my daughter a bath, he went outside and refused to come back inside until she was fully clothed.  This weirded me out a bit.  Babies are innocent; if someone sees something perverse in a baby's nudity, they are the ones with the problem, IMO.

I have lots of embarrassing pics. LOL I have a picture framed in our living room of my oldest when she was sitting on the potty picking her nose... To a mother this is PRICELESS!!

That is classic!  I have plenty of naked pics...but my favorites are the ones where she's managed to put three pacifiers in her mouth at once.  My daughter is talented.
