Parents: Remember to Keep First Day of School Pictures Vague

Friday, August 26th, 2022 -- 4:00 PM

With school starting for many, the Neillsville Police Department wants to remind parents about first day of school pictures.

Back to school photos often reveal personal information about your child. School name, grade, age, and identifying features, etc. These can all be used by predators and scammers. No matter your privacy setting or friends, it’s best to keep personal information to a minimum.

They remind you to put the bare minimum when it comes to information included in the pictures. Also, make sure you use a neutral background so your house number doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.
