I am glad the internet and digital cameras where not around when I was a kid.... I think my folks forgot what color the carpet was in there till I went to college.
I have to agree with the last post - between your profiles. websites and these pics you are showing non-members (these are public pages subject to Google searches, etc...) where you live and what your kids look like. Take these pics down is my advice.
Maybe you have been lucky and have not had to deal with this issue. But it is a real safety issue these days.

"Children are most at risk from the adults in their own family, and from the adults who are in their parents' social circle. In fact, 90 percent of abusers target children in their own families and children who they know well."
Since you brought up a "real safety issue" I thought I would add one that I have found also so I would advise you to start interrogating all your family and friends and not to leave any of your children alone with any of them for any amount of time.
If you guys haven't already seen her work, I strongly suggest checking out Lauren Greenfields website...especially the Kids+money portfolio. It's a really interesting project, and pretty much what this threads all about http://www.laurengreenfield.com/

Sad to be afraid of the whole world. It is hard to figure out where a person lives by viewing 4 walls a door and a few windows. And I figure these kids go to the malls, movies or stores and are seen by hundreds of people in a week so should they stay home for the rest of their lives?
Haha thanks Steady! You make a great point! Plus, I can for sure achieve that "outside a dark alley feel" inside my studio via my old brick wall! haha
But I mean for living in downtown Seattle @ 18...this place is pretty solid for now And I don't always have lightstands+tripods and other various camera gear assembled...its in here, just not assembled! haha

Thanks for posting this. Lauren Greenfield's work is excellent and important social commentary. Definitely worth a look - I would have missed it without your post.
On Lauren Greenfield's site, check out the seventh (7th) image in her "Girl Culture" slideshow. Titled "Aya, in her basement bedroom, looks for an outfit to wear to school..."
