I have just seen this warning posted by the Allen Graham Charity on FB and really feel i needed to pass this on as this is quite scary :-

WARNING!!!! If you take photos with your cell phone | Keeping My Eye On the Sparrow Photography

All you have to do is to turn geo-tagging off or, alternatively, erase location data from photos.

We live in a scary world Siren and knowledge is power!

Anything which helps to protect our children can only be a plus surely?

Thank you Eleanor, that's exactly why I posted the message which came from a locally well known and respected source.

I'd rather a bit of scaremongering than be ignorant of a dangerous threat.
And why is a perfectly well intentioned charity website 'dubious'? Hmm

If you had bothered to click on the link you would notice that it has nothing to do with any charitable website. It's just some random blog which has a sensationalist U.S. news clip on it.

Personally, I wont be losing any sleep over this issue.

Siren the link was provided by the Allen Graham Charity which does sterling work to help the underprivileged children over here. Of course you are entitled to your opinion but it would be nice if you voiced it a little less rudely .
