Spinoff to GAP photo shoot. Would you be annoyed?
If your MIL entered your child in The Regis and Kelly contest without telling you? In my situation, she tried to enter him last year but he was too young. We told her then to ask us before she sends out photos of him. Fast forward, she sent in his picture recently. She used a copyrighted professional picture and when I pointed that out to her she said, "so, they won't know that." The copyright isn't the point here, though. I just don't know HOW to take this. Hey, she's proud of him but...........

I would be totally pizzed, plus can't only the parent/guardian enter those types of contests?

Good question. She entered my SIL's baby and I don't think she had her sign anything.

I'd be so flippin mad, that I might move out of state and never let her see the kid again. But I should also say that my MIL knows better than to do something like that. So does everyone else I know.

Not a parent yet, but I would be extremely annoyed! We would surely have it out with her. Proud or not, only parents should make those kind of decisions. I would not want my child's picture on TV should they win so it would not be ok with me.

I think you have to check one of those boxes that you are over 18 and the parent/guardian. I had to for the GAP one.

I believe it is implied and would not be surprised if they had a disclaimer.
It is absolutely irresponsible and beyond allowed boundaries to post a photo of a child on a public website without the parents' consent.
ETA: I would actually contact them and explained what happened. That you NEVER approve this and need the photo to be removed. I am sure they will.

ITA. Not everyone wants their child's picture to be public, and if they do by some chance re-use it the copyrighting as you know could be an issue.
I believe there is a clause when you enter that says that the entries become property of LWR&K and their affiliates....

I would be very annoyed. It's not up to her to make this choices for your son.

Re: Spinoff to GAP photo shoot. Would you be annoyed?
See, I am trying to justify it by saying that I post pictures of him here anyway. However, that's my decision as the mother. I would pull them if I ever became uncomfortable. My MIL does not even know that I post them here, so it's not like she can say, "well, his picture is already on the internet."
I hardly ever even e-mail his photos around. We had to sign a waiver just in case they want to hang pictures of him within the day care center. I considered refusing, for a few reasons. I post about him on facebook without saying his name. He has a different last name than mine. There are reasons for all of that. I know that my MIL does not think of it the way we do but we told her last year that we don't want this.

I would be annoyed, not to mention it says this, and you have to check the box
"I am the parent or legal guardian of this registrant."

I wonder if she signed my name. She just wants all her "Del Boca Vista" friends to see him on TV but I didn't know how far she would go for that. Sorry, people, but that is what DH and I call her friends.

I'd be annoyed, but then again, I'd never have this problem bc my MIL has no interest in my son whatsoever
I do think she should have at least asked you!

You know....I've been thinking about this a lot this morning. I think I'd be a touch annoyed b/c I didn't get the pick the pic out, blah blah. But in reality, what HARM does it do? KWIM?

By checking the box, the MIL claimed she was the parent/guardian of her child. That is wrong and that means she lied. Kerie is the parent and she already told her last time that she did not want her DS to be in the contest.

Ok, then it is wrong, if she was specifically told that she didn't want DS in it, then that is wrong.
Well, checking the box is wrong, but I'm sure people have checked off worse things that aren't true, KWIM?
ETA: If this was a general question, then that's one thing, but if she was told no, then I get being upset.
