An 18-year-old daughter is suing her parents for posting embarrassing photographs of her as a child on Facebook.

The teenager, from the southern Carinthia region of Austria, claims the intimate pictures from her childhood have made her life a misery.

She claims more than 500 images have been posted by her parents on the social media site without her permission since 2009.

Lawyer Michael Rami says his client has a good chance of winning in court.

The pictures show such childhood moments as having her nappy changed and undergoing potty training, according to The Local Austria.

She is quoted as saying: 'They knew no shame and no limit - and didn’t care whether it was a picture of me sitting on the toilet or lying naked in my cot - every stage was photographed and then made public.

'I'm tired of not being taken seriously by my parents.'

Her parents have reportedly refused to delete the pictures, which were shared with their 700 friends on Facebook.

The father is understood to be arguing that since he took the pictures, he has the right to publish them.

A court case is set to take place in November and Rami says his client will win if it can be proven the photos violated her rights to a personal life.

If successful, the parents may end up having to pay compensation to their daughter - as well as her legal costs
