I could not find a single credible source online for any danger associated with the practice of writing about or posting photos of your kids online. The law enforcement agencies that posted information about the dangers for kids on the internet were talking about kids who give out inappropriate information about themsleves, or meet up with predators pretending to be other kids. Even so, I realize some parents are either overly sensitve, or paranoid, or ignorant, and I usually don't post pictures of other children without giving the parents an opportunty to object. That being said, I would have been shocked at getting a communication like that! A simple "please" would have sufficed.
