I'll second that PC has gone too far. I'm webmaster for my son's cub scout pack. I put no pictures of the kids up unless the parent(s) have signed a release. One of the den leaders wants to put up pictures from one of the campouts. She's an attorney and has drafted a short one paragraph release that most of the parents have signed. We'll also keep a list of those who do not want their kid's picture on the web in way shape or form.
So far I haven't put any pictures up and kid's badge awards, pinewood derby stuff etc. is all first name with a last initial if there is more than one in the den with the same name. I'm considering when we do put pictures up to make it in a password protected area. I'd give out one password to all the dens so it wouldn't be terribly secure (donated web hosting so there are limits on what I can do but I can use asp and access since the calendar runs off that combo) but should discourage the aimless surfer.

How can anyone possibly make contact with any child through this site? Individual kids (nor the teachers for that matter) don't have their own email at school, they are not named anywhere on the site and apart from hanging around outside the school no-one couldn't contact them. Anyone hanging around would soon get the strong arm of the law on their collar as the Police Station is just 100 yards along the road and one of the uniformed PCs is always hovering around at start and finish times - plus there is a school crossing patrol lady as well watching what's going on. Every child has to be collected by an adult known to the teachers every day (school rule). If the known adult doesn't arrive, the child stays at school until the teachers are satisfied the person collecting them is authorised to do so. ____ • The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM • ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
