WWAFSBCND?
One of my best friends sent me a video of her kids 2 and 5 dancing. It is on youtube, not private. Most of the time they use a flip camera site which I think is more restructed (I could be wrong).
At the end her 5yo daughter shakes her butt then moons the camera.
I am shocked because I would never upload a butt or anything to a public site, but realize I could be overly sensitive.
So obviously, my choice what I do with my child and hers with her child. But I kind of want to just say something to her out of concern. Is that oversteppig bounds? I haaaaate people that try to tell parents what to do with their kid but was wondering if maybe she isn't thinking of how public this is since she usually uses the other site.

Did you say anything yet? I'd probably go the casually mentioning it route just for that reason.The parents may see it as innocent and not even think of it.
Plus, I'd rather hear it from a friend than have my video reported for inappropriate content or some BS by some whacko stranger who doubts their innocent intentions.
Audrey's solution is good. With so many videos on yt it's unlikely it'll be seen by anyone who doesn't know your friend anyway (unless friend has a large online following).
Although in the very unlikely event it becomes some sort of Double Rainbows! sensation it could be embarrassing to her if it could be connected back to her. I think parents should consider it as a remote possibility.

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
Maybe unlikely, but definitely possible. I've firsthand experienced some weirdo perv adding a photo I posted to flickr to his collection. Not a kid photo, but a wedding photo of me and my then-23 weeks pregnant maid of honor. I can't remember the name of the collection exactly, but something like "hot voluptuous and pregnant women"....kind of a compliment, but mostly creepy.

I would assume most people would not put their full name in a YouTube account. If that's the case, it might be an issue.
As long as the kid is safe, I don't think it's worth fretting over what some pedo is going to do with pictures of your kid. There's nothing stopping them from coming to a public pool and creeping around taking mental pictures and getting off on the thoughts later. As Lindsay pointed out, even seemingly innocuous pictures could be seen as sexy. I think if you really want to be safe, don't upload anything, because the interwebz come with risks. To me, the benefits of sharing with friends outweigh the possibility that one random sicko will use it even though my kid will never know or be harmed.
You can also look at the title and description of the video. If it's called "DL23432.mov" and there's no description, I doubt anyone will ever find it. If it's called "Little Susie shows her bottom!" and the description uses similar language, then maybe the risk is a little greater and you should say something.
