Social networks have become popular virtual communities, where several users are daily connected. However, research indicates that its use, including Facebook, has brought a high growth of cases of prejudice and intolerance. Thus, the discussion of Facebook is relevant not only as an entertainment space, but also as a virtual environment that provides tools for exposing the subjects' social life. In this sense, the objective of this article was to reflect on teachers' posts on Facebook about students in early childhood education. The work was developed through the research of some Facebook posts as an analytical object for a qualitative investigation method, the observation was direct, systematic and not participatory, based on theories of authors such as James (2014), Bauman (2011) and Comparato (2006), in addition to normatization of the Statute of the Children and Adolescents (1990) and the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil (1988).Gradually, there are cases of children who enjoy profiles on social networks, and when they are not an account user, family members or third parties continue to propagate their deeds, habits or activities through postings on the network, this makes it easier for the child to be victim of cyberbullying and pedophilia. It was observed there is a need for legislation related to conflicts of rights of minors and adolescents, based on their vulnerability, as presented in ECA and in the Brazilian Constitution. Public policies of a preventive and educational nature in assisting their interests that guarantee them safer exposure on social networks.
