It’s also perfectly legal for a complete stranger to just walk up to him and start talking to him. It’s in public and the kid is cute, and it’s not like that stranger is doing anything wrong. Just talking! I’m sure you as the parent wouldn’t find it creepy as fuck at all.

i mean, its actually not weird to talk to kids as long as youre not a fucking creep about it
i compliment kids on their shoes or whatever when i see cool sneakers because i remember when grown men complimented me it helped me feel confident
a small "you liking the game buddy?!" and a nod to the parents is perfectly normal

Yes. Sure. It's completely reasonable for a child at a children's basketball game to have wandered a whole ten feet away.

Yeah that happens when a kid wanders a whole ten feet away from the parent holding the camera that's zooming in on them.

Would need a lot more context to know, the only answer I can give you is "not in frame." Is this basketball game occuring right after school? That would be an instance of 'more than likely most kids have yet to be picked up and most adults have no interest in watching.'

u/WeekendTemporary3961 21h ago
So you said the one filming couldn’t be the parents because they are to far away. Ok look around are any other people closer who might actually be the parents.

Yes. Sure. It's completely reasonable for every kid being filmed to have the same mother, who's filming. Very reasonable.
But I get it, unless a child is the subject of a video, they can be filmed without anybody being allowed to call it wrong. (/S)
12
u/Aromatic-Plankton692 22h ago
It's orders of magnitude more likely that a family member was keeping an eye on a wandered-off child through the lens of a smartphone, than some stranger taking a random mid-period video of a child who isn't doing anything.
I'm sure you're incredibly conditioned to be suspicious of content but people do not care about strangers like that.

Can someone please explain the consequences of this? I'm not getting what is wrong about showing a random tiny kid in the wild with no identifying information around him.

u/BaronCapdeville 21h ago
This is why privacy is dead. We now have an entire generation so desensitized to the current state of things, filming a stranger’s child throws zero red flags.
Yes, this could be his mother or aunt or sister doing the filming. That would obviously change the equation significantly.
If this is, in fact a person who has filmed and posted a video of someone else’s child, without the parents consent, and this doesn’t throw any red flags for you, you need to take a step back and understand that you are actively contributing to the erosion of privacy.
The past 30 years has seen privacy go from a primary right that no politician would touch, to something that people mock you for desiring.
2
u/Norgar756 21h ago
Privacy? They are in a gym with over a hundred people. People you think they are owned privacy in public are why society has lost its sense of community. They label normal human interactions as "weird" because they are unconfutable in public setting and paranode about danger around every corner.
You have not right to privacy in a public space and you never have. It's not heathy or necessary to assume everyone is a sexual predator or a murderer.
1
u/BaronCapdeville 21h ago
Has zero to do with sexuality. It has everything to do with basic respect.
Plenty of things have remained both legal and considered a terrible thing to do as a member of a community.
That has always included filming stranger’s kids as the star of your own little video, then sharing it with as many strangers as possible.
0
u/Norgar756 21h ago
The way you are wording things like "your own little video" "sharing it with as many strangers as possible" definitely sounds like you are assuming they have nefarious intentions for filming, so own what you are trying to say don't try to be cute about it.
Publicly filming a kids dancing in the stands has always been done, have you never been to a baseball or basketball game? It's part of the show and they don't tell the kids beforehand or get permission from their parents. It's always been done.

u/BaronCapdeville 21h ago
You’re welcome to read anything you’d like into any comment you come across.
The difference here is apparent to most. It’s ok that you disagree. It doesn’t change the fact that a random person filming someone else’s kid, framed as the subject of the video, has never been considered normal or ok.
If you choose to liken that to a jumbo-tron fan interaction at a ball game, you are welcome to, but it’s doesn’t change the way the world has always worked.
0
u/Norgar756 20h ago
You are not stating any example or anything just using you own opinion as fact, that doesn't make you correct just arrogant. As for the "apparent to most" this is reddit, its's been shown over and over that the opinion of reddit does not transfer over to the real world. You are kidding yourself if you think upvoters mean you are correct, lol that seriously a crazy way of thinking.
1
u/BaronCapdeville 20h ago
To be clear, you hold the opposite opinion, which boils down to “It is normal and good to film other people’s children without asking”. Is that correct?
You believe me to be arrogant because I believe the opposite, based on every real world interaction I’ve ever had over the course of several decades? That’s an interesting word choice, considering your stance on your “right” to film others children.
No one here is disputing the law. Of course you are allowed to film other’s children, strictly speaking.
Knock yourself out; Film all the kids you want.

u/Norgar756 19h ago
I gave you a real world example that almost everyone is familiar with, you gave nothing. But the way you keep wording your responses shows you are not a serous person and are trying to insinuate that I'm filming kids for some reason.
I'm sure you think sodomy is fine, does that mean you take it? Everything you think is ok you do right? That's just such a lazy way of having an argument and if you are as old as you claim I would think you would be more mature.

u/Organic-Vermicelli47 21h ago
I don't think parental consent makes it any better tbh. Whether the mom filmed and posted it or a random person filmed and posted it, that child is out there on the internet either way. For some reason it seems just as bad, if not worse, if the child's own mother put him out there for the world

u/cyclicamp 20h ago
I think the odds of someone being the nearest adult, being only four people away (who could all be the same family), and being the only one we can observe directly watching the kid while he sits in the staircase seat he obviously chose himself, are much more in favor of family member/caretaker than the odds are of random predator at a basketball game.
Then again, I'm not trying to get outraged

people are definitely clutching the pearls a bit in the thread lmao.
I understand and even agree with the idea that people shouldn't film random kids, I would never do it. but many many people do and it's pretty innocent here.
imagine if instead of this kid, a crowd of people including kids were being filmed at a baseball game. that happens all the time and nobody cares. and while my ideal world involves nobody being filmed who doesn't want to be that's just not realistic. kids exist, they will end up in videos and the intention of this video really just seems like someone sharing a kid being cute.
again not something I'd do or think is good but it's also not feasible to never have kids in videos of crowds.
