Summary/Abstract: Sharenting, which means sharing sensitive content about children on online platforms, primarily on social media, is the focus of this research. Although it is mostly carried out by parents, it is seen that the child's relatives, peers, and education staff working at the school where he/she is studying also exhibit this behavior. Sharenting; it is an issue that needs to be discussed in school life as well as in private life, as it carries some risks regarding the child's safety, mental health, privacy and private life as a human being before anything else. In this study, sharenting was examined in the context of ethics, media ethics and education. Also sharenting; it has been examined through the lens of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and it has been tried to determine which of the child's rights (living, developmental, protection and participation) which are clearly expressed in the convention, are divided into four basic dimensions. Accordingly, sharenting; it violates a total of 17 articles of the CRC in all right dimensions, mostly in the dimension of protection rights. The issue of whether sharenting is ethical or unethical is ambiguous as it varies according to the underlying ethical theory.
