Oh so they gave you permission to take and post their photo online? Cool.

Did you ask if you could post a picture of him and his kids on the internet?!

I loved that book.

Yes, the moment is nice, cannot deny that, and yes, it made me smile.
But you can't just take a photo of random people and post it on the internet, especially of kids, even if you're trying to spread good vibes.
Get your good vibe posts/karma/whatever a different way.
Please don't do this again. It's not right.
Others will probably be mad, call you out, etc, but I won't do that. Hopefully what I wrote makes sense to you.

I'm 35 and watched the original movie for the first time Friday night. I would have been horrified if I watched it as a kid

Redditors really have a weird thing where they take pictures of random people and thinking it's okay. Just glad to see people bringing it up.

I did. I was.
I literally cannot get that scene of the kids turning into rats out of my head. Decades later it’s burned into my brain forever. I’ve never seen the movie twice.

Honestly, leave them alone

Although I agree that it is a violation of a private moment, it is in a public place. The law allows this and it protects all of us from totalitarianism.

It's not cute to take pics of random people or their kids just minding their own business out in public. I know it's legal in many places but that doesn't mean you HAVE to take their pic and then post it.

lol what do you call "candid" photography? photos of people without their consent

This is just creepy. Don't do this again

Yeah it's not just "I don't want my kids on the itnernet" some children may have been taken away from dangerous situation from very dangerous people and their faces on the internet puts them and their caretaker in danger.

Here’s the thing about posting public pictures of children: if you want to do it in a way that doesn’t expose them to danger you don’t include information about where and when those children could be found. This picture includes the station they presumably regularly travel through, and is obviously afternoon after school. That’s enough information to find these people with a half assed effort and you shouldn’t do this.

Hah, we just finished this book a week ago and even watched the movie.

Don’t see pictures of people in public and post them online. This is the L train in Brooklyn, an area of New York that is lower class and mostly minorities where most people on that train are likely residents, not tourists. They’re just going about their lives and you’re taking pictures of them. If I were on that train and my picture of me and my children (who are minors) appeared on Reddit I would feel a large sense of privacy lost.

Delete this post you creep.

They are children

Seems like a law that should be revisited
NationalNegotiation4 t1_ismu8tq wrote
I never said they aren’t, nor did I say that this isn’t a moral grey area. It’s about the journalistic freedoms that are also allowed by the same laws.
What if nobody was allowed to film when Michael Jackson held his baby off a balcony, because it’s a baby?
XBakaTacoX t1_isn0aod wrote
That's exactly right. Not only is it weird, but it could even be dangerous.
I sure hope not, but you're absolutely right.
