A mum has stopped posting photos of her kids online after her family were "digitally kidnapped" by an imposter who was posing as her. Meredith Steele, 35, blogged on Instagram about her life with husband, Mark Steele, 35, and kids - a daughter aged 11, and a son, nine.
She posted typical photos about their daily life and soon had 5,000 followers. But she was horrified when she discovered a fake profile had cloned her photos and was using them on an account with thousands of families.
Meredith was shocked to see photos of special family moments she'd shared on her own Instagram had been reposted - with different names and captions - by a stranger. Every photo the mum posted of the family was used on the other account and were used to illustrate fake family outings to lunch or school runs to thousands.
