March. Provided photographs of their children or the children of your friends with their names
Ok, this is a touchy subject. We all want to protect our children, we would be in front of a truck to protect them, but many of us upload hundreds of photos tagged for the online world to see the name of our children. The problem is that you can never be sure that only your friends will be to see these images. What if your friend has stolen her cell phone or forget to connect to Facebook from the library and to log out? You can not rely on the setting of "just friends" because you never know. Suppose that everything is public and does not allow anything you would not want to access the world.

Know your true friends are their names, no need to label them. The same goes for photo tagging friends of their children. Follow the directions on the label.
