There are plenty embarrassing photos of us on Facebook that we wish were never uploaded. But, we never thought it would be possible to sue over them.
However, that's what one Austrian 18-year-old is hoping to do. She is taking her parents to court for posting photos of her for all their 700 Facebook friends to gawk at.
Her lawyer alleged that the parents shared over 500 images from all different stages of her childhood, despite the woman asking for them to be deleted. They are arguing that this violated her right to privacy and hope to prove that in court this November.
The woman gave a statement to Austrian paper The Local, saying "Every stage was photographed and then made public. I'm tired of not being taken seriously by my parents."

This could be a valuable lesson for any of your friends who overshare pictures of their children on Facebook.
