"Dolly has off today. Pop sensation Justin Bieber got discovered on YouTube, so it&amp;#x27;s no wonder more and more parents are posting videos of their kids performing on the Internet, hoping someone--anyone--is watching. Is this is a good idea, though? Jo Piazza reports for Fox411: &amp;quot;More and more, parents are trying to market their kids on the Web by posting videos on YouTube and Facebook. But what may seem like innocent self-promotion could actually be damaging to a child&amp;#x27;s sense of self-worth and their self-esteem.&amp;quot; I actually got called to comment on this piece. Here&amp;#x27;s the bit that ran: &amp;quot;I know that the Internet can be a very scary and strange place sometimes,&amp;quot; Coppa told Fox411. &amp;quot;I am very careful about the photos I post of my 2-year-old son. I&amp;#x27;ve seen videos and photos of naked toddlers going potty for the first time. Yes, it&amp;#x27;s a super-exciting moment and it should be photographed, but not posted on the Internet.&amp;quot; I said a lot of other things that didn&amp;#x27;t make the cut, like, I think there needs to be a line you don&amp;#x27;t cross. For example, this video of a toddler boy around JD&amp;#x27;s age crying over the fact that he&amp;#x27;s not a single lady is super-cute and harmless, in my opinion, but (ding, ding, ding) this is just the type of video Ellen would pick up and talk about on her show. Did Dad think about this? Why was there a video running in his car while he was driving--seems a little staged to me. Let&amp;#x27;s discuss, friends! Is YouTube the new free talent agent? Should parents stop posting videos of their kids online? As a parent, do you worry about posting potty shots and cute, pudgy, naked baby shots on the Internet?
