[QUOTE="Rick M, post: 114566, member: 4399"] I would send her the Jpegs as you did and inform her that the pics have been permanently deleted if she responds to you again. As a parent I would be angered. This is a scary area to be in due to the society we live in. I have had neighbor kids ask me to take pics of them and I will not, even if the parent consented.
