The National Prosecuting Authority has issued a stern warning to parents during Child Protection Week in SA, according to a report.
Parent24 reports that the NPA reminded parents that pictures of naked children are considered child pornography, and that should parents upload pictures of their children without clothing to social media sites, they may face prosecution.
While many parents upload photos of their kids to Facebook or Instagram, the NPA cautioned against this practice, and extends the caution to pictures of their children clothed.
A spokesperson of the NPA said that any picture of a naked child, even a baby, is considered child pornography, and that regardless of the innocent intent of the parent, other people on the internet may abuse such imagery.
