Photos that will live online to haunt these folks forever!

Before the arrival of social media, a child was free to cry, to pee on him or herself, to get in trouble and to throw tantrums in public without risking someone taking a picture and sending into the limbo that the Internet has created. 

Of course, if a relative scans one of your old printed photos, it can show up on the Internet, but you have to admit that it is much more unlikely to happen.

In any case, here are some rather "embarrassing" photos that will make some of you thank your lucky stars for being born before this custom of sharing everything had become the norm.
