Getting a photo taken down from Tagged?

happyviolet

Hello, I recently came across a photo of a relative of mine on Tagged that I don't feel comfortable having on. The picture itself is harmless, he is just dressed up in a funny costume, it's just that i think it was without his knowledge and he is also a teacher, so I can imagine students looking at it all the time and I would be afraid someone would copy it to ridicule them in a fake profile, because that happened to another teacher of mine.

The person who put it up was actually his son, not to make fun of his father but because he thought it was a funny picture and I have seen loads of users put of funny pics of family members on facebook, bebo, hell I was guilty of putting up bebo pictures of teachers and students in costumes at a christmas concert after-party years ago, but back then I did not have the cop-on to realise how this pics can stick around forever. But after that news report of the teacher who was ridiculed on facebook a while back, I feel paranoid about this because my relative is a good person and i don't like the thought of him being being viewed like this unless he knew about it.

I can't talk to the son about it as he will acuse me of stalking (not true, because I literally just stumbled upon it) and he has a stubborn head on him so he would not take it down, so I am trying to do this quietly.

So i am just wondering is it worth my time to email Tagged to take it down, or can I report it under any of the options it gives, because I am not sure funny costume equals abuse.

You could get them to take it down but to be honest, funny costume abuse isn't classed as to what they would class as 'abuse'.

They aren't obliged to take it down though because it doesn't have much to do with you, and wouldn't affect you. You could tell your relative about it though, or am I missing something?

Speak to your relative and mention you came across his pic on the internet.
Let him decide whether it should stay or go.
