This reminds me of when Robert Plant had his young children naked, playing in a creek in "The Song Remains the Same" movie.

And as a loving parent it is my responsibilty to make such choices for them. Children aren't able to express informed consent for millions of things in their young lives, it doesn't mean they don't get to do them - that is what guardians are for. It's not OK in my books to keep children in a little bubble away from every little thing that may harm them. My kids are happy for people to see them naked. I, as their guardian, am happy for people to see them naked. I believe it's natural. The problem arises when it becomes sexualised, which this clearly is not.
Thanks for your concern, but I don't have a problem sharing photos of my children, even ones where they're naked. It's totally natural, it's not posed and sexualised - this is just a snapshot of our family when we are at our happiest. My boys are not in any danger that I'm aware of. I can't help that there are sick people in the world, and I don't think I should censor my actions based on the fact there are weirdos out there who might abuse my openess.
