Mother Finds Her Son Naked on Google Street View

By John Farrier in News on Jul 2, 2010 at 10:03 am


A British woman was shocked to find a picture of her naked three year-old son on Google Street View. The boy was playing in his grandmother’s yard when a Google Street View car drove by and snapped his picture:

Shocked Claire, who lives on the same road as her mother, said she had no idea the pictures had been taken and accused Google of invading her son’s privacy.

She said: ‘I just felt sick to my stomach when I saw the naked picture of Louis on the internet. I’m angry, disgusted and upset about it – they should be checking every image before it goes up.

    Sure blame Google. After all I’m guessing either the mother or the gran knew the kid was out there playing starkers.

    But they DID check the image — otherwise they wouldn’t have pixelated it.

    The mother is overly-outraged. She let her son run around naked in public view. She says that she’s worried about pedophiles viewing her son from across the distances of the Internet, but she’s wholly unconcerned about those in her neighborhood.

    Blame Google, nah. Blame the grandmother AND the mother for letting the young lad go naked in the first place. If the boy was ‘out there’ for all to see, then the ladies gave implied permission for the photo. Sorry, no Google guilt here.
