Washington, DC (AB) - A child safety group is calling for a ban on Google’s ‘Street View’ application, charging the feature provides strangers too much detail on a child’s location.

Stop Internet Predators, a project of Stop Child Predators, Wednesday urged parents to ban Street View in their neighborhoods.

“Google Street View can memorialize a minor’s photograph in association with a physical address without parental consent for all on the Internet to see,” the group said in a statement.

The group announced an online petition parents can sign.

“Until action is taken to ensure technology is kid-friendly, parents and communities are charged with the responsibility,” said Stacie Rumenap, Executive Director of Stop Child Predators, the organization leading the Stop Internet Predator campaign.
