‘I Posted This Photo of My Son After His Wrestling Tournament. It Ended Up on a Fetish Page’: Mom Warns Parents About Instagram Pedophile Ring

First off, my story is not unique. I’m a mom. A Navy veteran. A wife. A Photographer. A Videographer. A Marketer. Okay, I wear a lot of hats. I have been very active on Facebook because I enjoy sharing pictures, videos, stories with friends and family who are literally all over the world.  It’s a great thing. I have my Facebook page set on private and I always give myself special rules before I let a new person into my online life:

Do I actually know this person?

Do I want to have a relationship with them?

Do I want to see their content?

I block people who post things that are disturbing to my life only because I want my social media feed to be uplifting and a happy place.
