@chescaleigh This! Also, why are we normalizing GRWM of kids and toddlers? What message is that sending them and why do parents want to have strangers see their children get dressed?! This “trend” is wrong for SO MANY REASONS. Kids are not content ❤️

The “egg crack challenge” is the latest “trend” that involves parents getting “likes” at the expense of their children. I hate this stuff- kids are not props.

I can’t be the only one who thinks parents soliciting strangers to buy their children bikinis and jewelry is inappropriate and wrong 🙈🤯 Adults should not be able to subscribe to “exclusive content” of strangers online. The platforms need to shut this down. (See previous post)

Keep these photos of your children private to protect their safety and save them from future embarrassment. Furthermore, children are human beings who deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Parents - pause before you post ❤️ #parents #parenting #socialmedia #newmom

History repeats: Just as child actors once faced exploitation in Hollywood's glare, today's internet child stars encounter similar vulnerabilities. These children have no protection under the law for their labor, privacy or the income they are generating. Their stories will come.

Not everything that happens in private needs to be shared publicly but some parents are so desperate for virality they will compromise their child’s right to privacy, informed consent and digital safety for some attention from strangers.⁠ ⁠ Parents- pause before you post ❤️⁠

Since we’re talking about parents using their children as props for social media “prank” trends, what about this one? The child is not “in on the joke”. This isn’t a pre-planned prank because the child is too young to understand the concept- this is cruel.

As a reminder, the worst members of society are also on SM and every time you post an image of your child publicly you are allowing them access.⁠ You wouldn't be handing a recent parole a photo of your child and/or offering them any info on your child- maybe don't do it online?
