Child Image Use Guidelines
Summary
Using a childs image without showing their face can still raise legal issues in South Carolina. Parental consent is generally required, and privacy laws must be respected. Even if the child cannot be identified, using their image in sensitive contexts, such as commercial use or public dissemination, can lead to legal consequences. Reverse searching content from private accounts is challenging, and unauthorized access may violate privacy laws. Statements made on social media, like pursuing legal action, are generally legal if they dont involve threats. Handling defamation involves documenting evidence, sending cease and desist letters, and consulting an attorney. Threats should be documented and reported to authorities. Legal advice is recommended for specific concerns.Full Conversation
