I think all bloggers get a kick out of seeing the search engine queries that land someone on their site. Some of my recents are “Sasquatch arm”, “conversion van sink”, and “sinus pot.” Nice, right?

A search term I saw yesterday chilled my blood and turned my stomach.

“naked baby girls in the bathtub”

Oh, holy Sandusky! Who is the perverted Jon Benet Ramsey fan that Googled that?! I know that that search could have been totally innocuous, but as a parent I was freaked out. I scoured old posts for any picture of Charlotte in the bathtub on the blog. There was only one. I took it down immediately. I don’t take completely nude photos of my child that show genitals in any way. I certainly NEVER put them online. This photo was very innocent and really only showed Charlotte’s bubble covered head, but still.

I Tweeted this problem out to get response from other bloggers. One said “I get that and worse in my stats. I’ve learned there are freaks out there and there’s nothing we can do about it. Try to ignore.” Another said, “People are disgusting and no one should ever take a picture of their child in a bathtub and put it on the Internet, ever.”

I’ve heard the horror stories from bloggers about others using the pictures of their children to start their own fake blog. This story of someone using a child’s likeness on a t-shirt in Brazil is bizarre.

I knew the risk of putting my life on the Internet when I started blogging. I’ve heard remarks from other parents about overexposing my child. I’m confident in my ability to protect her and still write a blog. This is really the only negative thing that has happened to me aside from the occasional weird or rude comment. (I don’t really mind those. At least someone read it.)

Again, this could be a totally innocent thing and someone was looking for some type of Anne Geddes cute picture. But, “naked baby girls in the bathtub” does have a creepy, pedophilia vibe. The worse part? It got four clicks to my site! Someone searched that four times!

If you’re a parent, what would you do if you were me? I mean, show me a parent in 2012 that hasn’t posted an adorable bubble bath picture of their kids on Facebook or a blog? Am I overreacting? Be honest. Seriously.
