BE CAREFUL what you post on social media, folks. It has been shown, repeatedly, recently that so-called "child protective" "services" (CPS) and other social workers do regularly monitor social media for signs that parents are "abusing" children or violating court orders/instructions.

Here is an excerpt from that link:
"The English social worker, her colleagues and superiors watched the mother’s Facebook account for several months, a saga laid out in new research from the United Kingdom’s Lancaster University, which followed English child protection workers for a year in 2018 to observe the profession’s use of Facebook spying.
'Do you spy on Facebook?' one social worker on the case asked a colleague, according to the report.

'Oh, yeah, I’m a big fan of Facebook stalking and [our manager] always comes in when I’m looking at it, she thinks I’m on Facebook all the time!,' the colleague answered. “I’ve got a fake Facebook account and I have to be very careful with the families that I don’t reveal something I’ve seen on Facebook!'
The tactic of using fake identities on Facebook accounts created expressively to surveil targets is a violation of Facebook’s real name policy, which states that 'pretending to be anything or anyone isn’t allowed'.”

Now, I can almost guarantee you that Facebook did NOT follow up this violation of policy or suspend THIS account...lol... The article does go on to mention a British law that makes what the British Gestapo agents are doing illegal, but, of course, again...crickets. In the USA, the practice is not even technically illegal, and you have a far better chance of being surveilled by CPS, over social media--especially Facebook (..."Spookbook" s a better name now.) 59% of American CPS thugs use Spookbook to spy.

SO THINK before you post on social media. DO NOT post pictures of any type of drug...even if marijuana is legal where you are, or talk about getting stoned or drunk. Do not talk about ANYTHING that an overzealous CPS agent might consider an overly "dangerous" activity involving (or even in the presence of) your children. DEFINITELY do not post pictures of yourself with anybody you're not supposed to be with, or talk about skirting the law in any way.

CPS CAN, AND WILL, AND DOES use information gathered via social media to take kids, or to apply lesser sanctions. While they may do it, wiretapping is far less common, harder for them to do without a tougher-to-get court permission, etc. SO TALK TO YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY and stop using social media the way we used to use the telephone. Share your photos only via private email.
Your family's future (and your career) may literally depend on it.
