I totally agree, I deactivated my Facebook a few years back. We use WhatsApp to share pictures and information about our baby with close friends and family, just hope the end-to-end encryption is legit. One big concern for me was the idea of Facebook having a 'shadow profile' of our daughter without our consent.

The point is, if you are sharing it with close family/friends, and their presence in the photo could prompt them to share it in their facebook. So in some way, it will end up in someone's profile with a tag to you/your kids name, unless you explicitly say every time "don't share".
