Was Olivia Wilde right to share this naked pic of her toddler?
Some parents say Otis might not appreciate this when he gets older…
If you go through the camera roll on any mum's phone – chances are it's FULL of pictures of their children. The pictures could be of them playing with the dog, eating spaghetti or wearing a bubble beard in the bath.
But how do you decide which of these precious moments to share online?

Olivia captioned the photo "naked cowboy" – but the actress was quickly scolded by Instagram users for sharing the snap.
"Why post nude pics of your child? So many psychos out there!" one commented. "More people will ‘like’ that than you wish. Your naked child is nothing you upload in the world wide web where it stays forever…" another added.
