good-bye to flickr!

some of you may have noticed that i pulled my whole flickr stream. some thoughtless people stole some personal photos of my children and posted them as their own.




a note from my husband:

TELL OUR STORY, PLEASE, I'M SURE WE'RE NOT ALONE.

GOOGLE.COM is allowing people to steal photos and impersonate children.


We asked them to stop, per their instructions on ORKUT.COM, and they have not.

photos of my young children are still being displayed on this site and it makes me sick.

Who else has been affected by this policy??

Please tell our story so other parents can try to put an end to unauthorized usage... it's theft!


thanks for reading.
