My first thought was "made her life a misery" - girl, your ain't seen nothing yet, I would like to show you people really living in misery. Self-centered and spoiled teenagers! She may not appreciate abject misery but that does not invalidate her claim. Why don't the parents take away the embarrassing photos? Because they are selfish people with no thought for their child? No doubt if they had taken them away, the child would not be suing them. We despise of the idea of suing someone but the ability to sue someone is a very important tool in the justice system. It helps to prevent monsters - the rich and powerful - from carrying out social injustices with impunity, as well as correcting lesser injustices amongst the not so rich and powerful. The idea of suing someone has got a bad name because tabloids love to publicise ridiculous court cases. We do not know that the child in this case is a self-centered and spoiled teenager. We should not prejudge the outcome based on information that the media has chosen - it is up to a judge with all the facts to decide. But I have doubts about any parent who does not have their child's interest at heart.

Sadly, I don't see the justice system keeping the rich and powerful from carrying out social injustices with impunity.

I've edited my post to say "helps to prevent" instead of "prevents" to avoid nitpicking

I wasn't actually nitpicking. The rich and powerful getting away with things is one thing that infuriates me tremendously.

What Steve says. It might be a 'first world' problem but still, if the girl does not want the pictures there she has a right to ask that they not be there.

Yes, I wonder about the stubborn parents too.
But what if she said that she wanted them to take away all photos of her? Would she still be in the right?
Some say parents should never share any photos of their children at all on Facebook. B/c those photos can be copied and you have no control.
I think parents should think about which photos they share. No naked photos and no photos on potty training och changing diapers or other embarassing situations which their children might object too when they are older. But no photos at all? They want to share their happiness with their relations and friends far away. Is this not one of the reasons to be on Facebook?

Sorry, Kye, a bad choice of words.

If a child doesn't want to be on the Internet, parents should respect that and take the pictures down. I know some parents who don't share any pictures of their children on Facebook. As for her being spoiled, you could say that about any person in the first world who is struggling with any kind of issue - bullying,depression, anxiety, chronic pain, emotional problems due to trauma... but these problems are very real for people and even though we know many people have worse problems, our own issues can be extremely painful and hard to cope with. Judging the girl because she feels miserable over the photos seems too harsh to me.
