Taiwanese star Danson Tang was very disappointed in certain parents at his child’s preschool activity. The singer, whose child is 4 years old, shared his feelings about this, especially since photographs of his son (and other children) were shared with the media. Considering that minors cannot give consent for their likeness to be shared, this is a serious privacy violation. Read all about what Tang said, and why he was fine with the media reporting on this incident in certain cases.

Taiwanese Actor Danson Tang Has No Chill For Parents Who Click Pictures Of His Kid And Share Them Everywhere!

Tang considers being involved in his child’s life extremely important. Despite being a celebrity with an erratic schedule that leaves little time for family, the star made it a priority to attend events at school. It is admirable, especially since children tend to remember who shows up for them.

Recently, Danson Tang shared how upset he was that some parents would take pictures of children on campus without asking their parents. Additionally, these images would sometimes end up in the media and be widely circulated. As a famous person, Tang has had his fair share of being papped. But that doesn’t mean his child deserves undue attention from people.

While the KO One actor otherwise shares cordial relationships with other kids’ parents, this privacy invasion really bothered him. He was fine with group photographs and conversations that revolved around their children. While it is understood that seeing a celebrity’s kid causes many to take another look, it was the secret photography and circulation that got to him. Tang wondered why “fellow parents” feel the need to “leak” images of the kids.

The Hanazakarino Kimitachihe star’s statement about children being photographed in school is bringing light to privacy and its importance when it comes to those who aren’t adults yet. Taiwanese netizens were on the actor’s side. Many agreed that even parents should be barred from photography at school, lest it cause kids’ identities to be leaked.

Nonetheless, Danson Tang was okay with the media that had reported the story. He found neutral coverage and a blurred version of his kid’s likeness acceptable.

Children are especially vulnerable and, therefore, more protected under the privacy laws of several countries. One hopes that no celebrity’s child suffers.
