Is this safe?

I have been thinking latey is blogging really safe? I do put lots of pictures of the kids on here and let people know what we have done and things coming up.
I saw on the news last night of someone local that got really taken for on their blog. Someone got on there and got pics of their kids off and did all kids of nasty stuff. Not to mention the comments they were writing.
So, the news said you can never be completly safe. And there are no laws to protect you. The police officer said the law cannot keep up with technology.
The news said the precations you should take are:
Don't post any pictures of children
Don't post any personal info
Don't say anything as to what you will be doing in the future. ie: countdown to family vacation ect.
So, I am really confused. I could just say it won't happen to me. Or, I could take the precaution seriously and protect my kids.
I don't think many people look at my blog anyway. The few that comment I can send personal e-mails with pics. Hmmm decisions..

I hear you! In one way I don't want to live in fear but I also don't want to expose my kids to harm through the internet. So I might just keep info less detailed about them and email links to my online photo albums. Also you can change your settings on your blog so that your blog cannot be found on search engines which keeps it a little more private.

Just be careful...don't post names of locations (be careful of signs on the pictures) and no house numbers or anything like that. Just use your common sense!
