DON'T. And especially DON'T without a signed release. (Call your local
cable TV and ask for their community access department; they should have
a release form they'd share.)
If there is enough info on the page for Aunt Tillie to say "Well, yes, he
goes to the same school as Tommy, he's in the same Troop as Tommy, his
hair's the same color as Tommy's ..." then you've got too much info...
unless you've got a password protected site. And even that's not
foolproof (see also: AP reports last week of e-Bay's hacker).

Well, if you DO put up videos, make them a clickable OPTION not the
automatic default. About half your visitors CAN'T use it and half the
others don't want to.
