Mommy Influencers and mommy vloggers have taken over social media the last decade. What could be seen as harmless and fun content, can also have a very sinister side. From exploiting their children, to lying and victimizing themselves, there is a lot that comes within this industry. In this video, we will be breaking down the dark reality of mommy influencers and vloggers.

Hey Toni btw thank you for the videos there helping me sm with genuinely anything just thank you so much god bless you!
@@jordinjames3961 awww hi! I appreciate you so much for all the love💕
ToniBryanneTV..
Not only is it plainly evident that you are a huge racist, but the hate that you ooze towards the white woman, who is married to the black man is blatantly obvious.
Saying hateful things about a white woman, because you feel that she is incapable of doing her biracial children's hair is not only judgemental but a reason why the "sponsor" of this vid & any other sponsors of your channel should & will be notified!
@@hookasmokincaterpillerohh I see what u mean now
The reason why so many WHITE people adopt other races from other countries is because there are SO FEW adoptable children in THIS country, and fewer WHITE children. Stop the racist crap, Toni. I was going to subscribe but between your racist beliefs on this video and how you make a point of saying AX instead of ASK makes me realize you are just another hustler
I’m so glad social media didn’t exist when I was growing up. How embarrassing to have your parent post your vulnerable moments all over the internet for the world to gawk at.
Me too friend 💕
i'm an 07 so i basically grew up with social media and i used to watch those family vlogger when i was young and kinda envy those kids but looking back i'm so glad my parents never post me and my siblings we were allowed to have a private life and now our embarrassing moments are just an inside joke between my family members and not something for millions of ppl to judge anyways my parents HORRIBLE with technology so i don't think starting a family channel even cross their minds lol
Can it be just to share the next cute hairstyle? And not that she knows how to do that kind of hair. I’m just saying. I think sharing cute hairstyles is a nice idea. ❤
It was called America’s funniest home videos😂the evolution is these parents
Yes I can’t imagine. I’ve posted a few photos of my kids (not very many), but now I just don’t want to again and I really can’t imagine posting them crying and profiting off of it. So sad. Parents need to protect their kids, not exploit them.
Can we also just raise awareness that ANYONE can be a predator? Like it's not just creepy middle-aged men living in a basement. So when the mom said, "78% of my followers are women and mothers" that really doesn't negate the fact that any gender can exploit these children and view their content with malicious intent.
Um, let’s be real, the majority of those leaving disgusting sexual comments are absolutely not women and/or mothers. Women obviously can and do exploit children… but they’re OVERWHELMINGLY NOT the ones getting off to them
@@alexbennet4195you're disturbedly naive. Educate yourself.
@@alexbennet4195okay? all they’re saying is to not deny that reality. learn what nuance is
YES! Not to mention that she thinks only men can be predators also the fact that she is oblivious to that people can lie about their gender on YT
y'all really want to play pretend that bad huh. name me one female predator and i'll give you ten male predators. name me one more and i'll give you one hundred more. it's not about "nuance" or sole existence of female predators. everybody knows that everybody can be bad, thank you very much. what you're missing is that male predatory behavior is a systemic issue and it happens a lot more for a much bigger reason than just some pieces of shit being, well, pieces of shit. but you're not gonna argue with a fact that you're more likely to be groomed by a male than a female, aren't you? never ever have you thought about why is that? something tells me that you haven't.
We all need to
1. Stop watching these blogs
2. Stop anyone who promotes this stuff
3. Boycott sponsors for these videos
4. Keep asking CZcams and other social media platforms to stop allowing these ‘family channels’
5. AGAIN, STOP WATCHING THIS CONTENT.
Totally agree. Mom vloggers will not film their kids for monetary gain once they find they don't get views. It sickens me how Moms can deprive their kids of privacy & expose them to the whole wide world.
YES! Watching these kids being exploited makes YOU complicit.
I watch pregnancy vlogs and as soon as rhe baby comes I drop them. Most of these mommy vloggers are narcissists and abusive towards everyone around them, especially their kids.
I would add to that, if boycotting a brand, contact them to let them know WHY you are boycotting them 👍
👏Well said!
Wrens mom said in her statement That stopping sexual predators is up to the police.
While not false, how about a little bit of prevention? Protect your child.
Exactly!! I saw this comment as I was hearing that part. I understand people having different boundaries than me, but me personally, just the fear of creeps looking at my daughter means I don’t post more of her than what you can see in my PFP- her hand holding mine, that’s it! I understand posting more than that, but my point is that prevention is not some small meaningless useless thing… we CAN and SHOULD do more to protect our children, as it is our natural inclination to do so (or should be!)
After hearing the fact that my daughter COULD be on inappropriate websites, I would be absolutely terrified and take her off of the internet IMMEDIATELY. She only cares about the dollar signs.
Thank you! That’s exactly what I posted!
yes it’s terrifying, i tear up thinking about if my little girl would end up on an inappropriate website. she does not deserve that!!
@@m4ttano kid deserves that, it honestly disgusts me that someone could post those things at all featuring any kid
How they will take a normal photo and MANIPULATE them into a sexual position. Gross.
@@extrememinimalism
Makes your blood boil.
The mom who made her son be on camera as she told him his puppy was dying…. That was so morbid. Absolutely twisted. I feel so sorry for that boy & other kids in these situations.
So sick! She made him say those “positive thoughts” to get more emotions out of him.
It's straight out of a black mirror episode or something. This stuff is dystopian to me.
Jordan Cheyenne has always seemed a little off. I had to unfollow her after seeing that video
That “heart dropped” feeling she got was an “oh shit, they saw my true colors, I’m going to lose followers” panic mode
Her only apology should be to her son. Atrocious.
It’s wild to me that as a stranger on the Internet, you’ve taken more steps to protect the identity and innocence of these children than their own parents have.
I remember as a kid the absolute betrayal I felt whenever I told my mom something in confidence and then found out she had told her siblings (my aunts) about it. Even if it was something small. I can't imagine how much bigger that feeling would be if that was posted online.
That's something I struggle with. I wanna share moments from my kids bc it's also my life & sometimes I want advice or input. BUT it's a struggle bc u don't want to break their confidence. & I remember my Mom laughing & talking about me getting my 1st period to everybody. It was humiliating. So, I understand. Now as a Mom, I struggle to pay attn & not cross that line.
My heart broke when he said "I actually AM crying, Mom" 🥺 That was awful and she knows it 💔 Wow, I follow some mommy vloggers and didn't realize how much of an impact it can have on the kids. Thanks for shining light on their experience ✨️
Honestly, that whole clip made me so sick to watch. That poor child deserves a better mommy.
@@unicornkimchi Same here 🫢
That boy used to be me when I used to be a kid myself.
Me too I wasn’t aware the kids go through a lot 💔
Agreed 😅
I just want her to understand that 1. all “profiles” that appear to be female could easily be fake, 2. Not all mothers are good mothers some are predators too, 3. Saying that your child’s videos aren’t on the dark web or forums please be serious especially when you don’t know how deep the dark web goes, 4. Biracial kids are FETISHIZED. Y’all need to be mindful of that
🎯
The forth one hits too close to home
All young kids are Fetishized..
Regardless women can also be predators. Yes they make a smaller percent of them but regardless.
@@alyssatorres510 I literally already said that 😂and it’s only a small percentage because most don’t believe when people say a woman did something to them.
the mom who isn’t protecting her daughter after people have told her predators are watching her on inappropriate websites put so much rage in me. her child needs to be separated from her that woman is disgusting.
It's pretty sad that strangers on the internet care more for the protection of a child then her own mother is.
What’s even worse is the fact that they come at you with a response like “if you think this is sexualizing then you are the problem and the pervert bc you believe it’s sexualising” like wth
I think it should be illegal to post children on social media without their child’s consent. It’s exploitation
Even the kid's consent isn't enough because they don't have the wisdom
I am biracial with 4a hair. Born in ‘94 way before being a biracial kid gained you clout. My white mom did a lot of research on how to take care of my hair, but there were still lots of learning curves. tears on detangling days. i would not want it filmed. it just seems like biracial kiddos are being almost fetishized today or something. it’s weird.
That’s good that your mom tried and cared for your hair. I see a lot of biracial kids with white moms and their hair looks like a bird nest.
@@Chillikilliand why can’t their black parent educate or take responsibility for their hair? I’m sure kids with black moms cry on detangling day too
@@x5lg475 well because black fathers are usually absent. I do have a black mom and of course all kids cry when their hair gets brushed. I said most biracials with a white mom don’t do their hair.
@@Chillikillilets not do that tho bc there’s millions of black dads doing what they have to do for their babies . Shit like that gives leeway for racist people to keep continuing to believe what they believe about our people . Me, all My siblings, my cousins , nieces and nephews.. etc , they hair stays done . Not every white mom doesn’t understand proper maintenance.
@@ChillikilliBlack fathers aren't usually absent. That is one of the biggest myths. Let's not do that. The black community does have a high percentage of single motherhood but most black fathers are still in their children lives and are very present.
I’m so sad for the child that wasn’t wanted because he/she couldn’t be posted on social media. That’s heartbreaking.
Tbh it's a bit bittersweet, the kid was left heartbroken but hopefully will get better parents by dodging those two bullets that just wanted to have an adopted child for clout. That even sounds weird to say out loud but it seems like it's true
Just use "they" my guy
@@marjo0921hopefully this child has no idea it happened. Many countries don’t tell the child about a potential adoption until it clears court, to avoid the heartbreak if it falls through. Small comfort, I know.
probably a blessing in disguised. He or she will be in a family that actually loves them and wants them.
I couldn't believe how she even addressed it, like Thailand is being so ridiculous or something for protecting their foreign adoptions.
“Do this for the camera”
26:20 I just can’t believe this woman.
This is a line crossed, and I really really hope that this little boy is alright and not being subjected to her behaviour anymore.
Oh and don’t forget - “the puppy was sick BEFORE we got it”
Like THAT is the important information here.
Children should not be allowed to be shown in CZcams, Instagram or Facebook. Parents are routinely irresponsible so should be a rule with the companies. They can’t consent to be online until they are 18. It’s crazy if they are allowed.
Also parents of autistic kids who make fun of their kids’ having a panic attack should be jailed for being their own kids’ bullies. They especially suck. ABA is conversion therapy and torture and should be illegal just as it is illegal to send gay kids to conversion therapy. In MA, they electroshock children who do t act neurotypical enough. They torture kids with disabilities and it’s still legal. It angers me.
The adoption one is actually so heartbreaking. People are so shallow and sick🤮 . I hope other countries around the world adopt the same law as Thailand and even up it to like 10 years to get rid of the attention w*ores.
honestly youtubers should just not be able to adopt, there i said it, the risk of the kid being exploited is just too high
@@m4ttayes you said it but it doesnt make sense. we should also stop them from having children then.
there is no statistic to back up what you are saying, the foster sistem is far worse than the abuse we see on yt...
Honestly I'd raise it to a minimum of 12. 13 would be better. People shouldn't be allowed to have a kid on camera until they have the agency to say no, and middle school, when puberty starts for most kids, is really just awful the whole way through and has absolutely no business being on camera.
@@m4tta I would agree except consider cases like Markiplier and Jack Septic Eye. Both good people whose videos include a lot of different content, but none of it has anything to do with their lives, and they even keep their romantic and familial relationships under very very tight wraps. I really think if we want to make the law fair we just have to give kids enough rights to deal with problematic parents. There just aren't any catch-all rules that can fix bad parenting.
Funny Thailand is a strange country.
It’s not just moms. My ex husband wanted to exploit my young son on Instagram and wanted to create a YT channel for him. I told him that you have to be 13 to have an account and I’m not consenting to anything that allows predators to have easy access to my child. He deserves a childhood without strangers eyes. We take tons of pics and video, but NONE of them are public! They are for us and our family and friends. That’s it.
Yea we know
But still it's mostly *woman* who do this, very little men do it, it's most times woman/mom's
The difference is He wanted to but didn't. These moms are doing it. Don't throw your man under the bus. 😢
Daddyofive springs to mind
@@AsAnnoyingAsYouCanGet But we don't really know that. We might be seeing the mom talking to the camera, but we do not know how much the dad is involved. He could be the one leading the channel and having the ideas, cutting the videos, writing the dialogue etc., just because we see or hear the mom on the videos does not mean that dads are less responsible for this kind of child exploitation. It's every parent's job to protect their child. If the child's youtube channel is providing for the family, the dad is profiting off of his child's work. And like Op said: they were the one preventing their child from getting posted online - that's what every parent is able to do, even the most absent fathers. It's easy blaming the mom for everything, but most children have to parents.
Stopping pedophiles is for law enforcement??!! It is, but in the context it was said, she made it sound like it wasn't her responsibility as a mom, toward her own daughter!
My jaw dropped when she said that.
I’m the mom/ wife in an “interracial”family (3 kids) and the Flewellan’s content is always being suggested to me too. I find it so cringey. Like quit looking at your family like an exotic breeding experiment…if outsiders stare and make a big a deal fine, but don’t be weirdly “colorstruck”around your own children, be normal.
Teacher here- "influencer" moms definitely pull their kids out of school for trips & photo shoots pretty often. Other colleagues have confirmed for me that those parents post family photos including the kids shortly after such absences. The parents do not do the makeup work we provide with them, so those kids miss a lot of school.
Since you're a teacher, may I ask, how do they not get charged with truancy? In my state truancy (5% or 9 days missed out of 180) is a misdemeanor with a fine and child protective services gets involved. It only applies to public school though, not private or home...
@@egodeathalone Homeschooling is the answer to a lot of these Vloggers
U didn't answer the question
@@keahithefieryone8513I was just about to say, why don't they just homeschool of they're just going to keep taking the kids out? But I feel like Mommy vloggers would be too selfish and self absorbed to even teach their kids. They'd just throw them a book and call it a day
@@egodeathaloneI would also like to know the answer to this question
I cant wait to see how many of those kids will expose their mom and parents in the future
No literally I always think about this
Oh, it’s coming. Give it another ten years and the powder keg will finally explode.
it’s gonna be chaos for sure 😬
@@girlinterrupted9792 absolutely, I have a few in mind that I feel that will.
I mean the dad and a few kids from that Jon and Kate Plus 8 show have exposed about the wife/mother being problematic and abusive. So I'm not going to be surprised if children of these mommy or family-based vloggers who are using them as an easy cashgrab for their own gain will expose their toxic parents😕
I’m VERY against putting kids on internet, it’s a big NO to me
I was 12 and my mom put a picture of me on MySpace that I thought I looked ugly in.
I felt so betrayed and angry and yelled at her to take it down . .
The anger I felt that was was nuts.
I can't imagine If my parents would've done that to me since birth.
No.
Thank you for highlighting the common issue of biriacial babies and children being fetishised and exploited for their biracial features. As a biracial woman it deeply disturbs me.
My children are biracial and my husband and I always felt like it was so weird how people viewed our children and were oddly hung up on how they would “turn out”. Like, yes, my children are beautiful; but, we are not this exotic interesting family because we have different levels of melanin present. We are just two people who love each other, got married, and had kids
No joke, I used to date a guy that was half Hispanic and people told us our kids would be cute, and went into detail that Hispanic and Irish mixed kids would be beautiful, we had only been dating for a couple months, it’s creepy, another time my best friend is Korean American, they told me and him if neither one us was married by our late 20s me and him should marry and have kids, because half Korean kids are cute, I think interracial relationships are amazing and beautiful, however some I think are in these relationships because they fetishize the other race, my cousin is married to a black guy and they have kids and they act nothing like this.
I watch a lot of “mom” content and its really easy to tell the difference between mom’s who exploit their kids and mom’s who just post about their families. A lot of the moms I watch do *NOT* post their children at all, instead they act out scenarios pretending to be their kids, and I think it’s genius and appropriate. They’re doing all the work while getting inspiration from their children, without exposing them to a massive amount of followers and without them having to “put in work”. There’s definitely a right way to do it and a wrong way to do it - problem is, a lot of these momfluencers are doing it the wrong way.
That's the only way to do it ethically. It's so great to explain how you parent or something you learned, but showing your kids and making them the reason you get views is appalling and so common.
Example of such channels are?? I would like to see how they do it
@@Kipitreel_ check out tori phantom, momma cusses, and janeisinsane. Also hapa family took their kids offline last year. She's taking a break right now but she has excellent parenting content
@@Kipitreel_Lindsey Gurk is a good example. Check her out!
@@Kipitreel_exactly cause they are few. Like few
The child that wasnt adopted because they couldn't be posted online for a year was done a huge service by their home country. Im sure it was bitter at the moment, but I hope they found a loving family who wasn't seeking them just for profit.
I really enjoyed your video! It was very informative and eye-opening, definitely makes us rethink the type of content we allow our children in.
So, child labor laws hasn't caught up to technology?
These kids need to be kids.
Play outside, ride bikes, get dirty, etc.
huh that adoption law is not strict enough for my taste, good to see laws protect kids from being adopted to be exploited by people
Agreed. I hate that it needs to be in place, but I wish all adoptions had that policy.
It needs to be 3-5 yrs after adoption.
"When you pick up your child and they are yours".... cringe level 100. They sounded like they were talking about getting a new car
@@annaf3915yup, the child was an object, property that they were salivating to exploit. Disgusting 🤢
@@humblymelanated2804 13. That's the age to get your own Profile. And kids should be allowed to shape their own online persona, not their parents.
i had to legit cover the screen with my hand when that witch was trying to get her son to pose for that thumbnail. absolutely horrific. how could you do that
That was extremely upsetting and disturbing. And that she was pretending to cry too! That poor boy is going to grow up knowing he can't trust his mom or anything she does because she's shown herself to be an absolute liar, faker, and manipulator.
@@dahliacheung6020 I was shocked by the blatant lack of genuine emotions on display. That poor boy
His POOR feelings, it really sucks when your parent isn’t a parent when you need them to be 😭 😢 he just needed a hug and his mom to validate his feelings and she’s worried about making money from it. He’ll have that memory for the rest of his life. It’s different when your the only one seeing it but to have the world tell you your mom has trash behavior that REALLY CEMENTS IT.
Imagine rejecting a baby because you can't exploit them
The kid dodged a bullet
@@Khadijahsmama fortunately
The fact that I grew up before public social media really took off was such a blessing for me. Because I had privacy growing up, I'm now able to laugh at my embarrassing moments and share them at my own discretion. My mom would take plenty of videos of us, especially when we were younger, but she NEVER posted them online. We just laugh together at family gatherings at the silly stuff we did as kids. That's what every child deserves.
At this point, there's no way these moms don't know that what they're doing is wrong. People have been calling them out for years and they just ignore it cuz money and fame.
I'll never understand how people can vlog their whole lives, like are you even living at that point
Exactly! Using non consensual kids for selfish and disgusting reasons!💀🤢
They know what they doing alright. Theyre adults, they should know right from wrong by now. And yes the money and fame goes to their heads..they are no better than stage moms in hollywood who push their kids to act, sing, dance and lived off of their kids income.
@@starboispacehippieit's truly sad
if the cash keeps coming in, they dont care!
Why can’t people JUST LEAVE KIDS ALONE?! Let them live their lives and enjoy their childhood! Get that time to take care of them and love them!
i agree but this also applies to parents exploiting their children for views. Im tired of them claiming its for a “virtual diary” if that were true their accounts videos featuring kids would be private. but thats because that ISNT the truth, the parents love the monetization and will even cater to creeps for some extra/higher likes and saves (Jacqueline putting her 2 yr old in a crop top and ripped jeans +bathing videos of her daugher washing herself w no sound other than the baby sounds Wren makes which creeps LOVED)
It’s odd how normalized it is to treat children like this. I can’t respect people who exploit their children for money, and I also can’t respect people who ask and express that they crave content of someone else’s child/ren.
The idea that it’s considered a parenting style, to exploit a child is disgusting! If they only knew how many people save the footage of their children (people who are sick individuals and who harm children). People will not allow someone to flip through their phone album, but are more than willing giving up their child’s integrity. The argument it’s to provide financially for the child is so off, considering that it’s not a child’s job to take part in their family’s financial situation and make sure they contribute.
*I wouldn’t even make a social media account for my dang cat!*
Because the parents are exploiting their kids, that’s why.
Jesus Loves You ❤️🙏✝️
Don’t apologize to the viewers 🤦🏿♀️apologize to your children
You're the first person I've heard talk about the Fluellen family. I've had a problem with them for a while, and I believe the parents would never be successful online without flaunting their beautiful kids. It's very upsetting.
watching the "apology" video from that mom who forced her son to pose for a thumbnail was so surreal. she clearly had no idea why what she did was wrong and its disturbing!
I have never felt my blood boiling so hard were I want to punch this woman’s face so hard.
She is sick 😡
She did know...she didn't care until many of the people she gets paid from (followers) backlash....
“ I have to go console my son “ -
Actual meaning: “ I had to traumatize and exploit my son “
She’s literally psychotic 🤦🏾♀️
@@laiyalaiya6088 And hysterical🤦♀️
That whole adoption story made me so angry. I that kid dodged a bullet there. When I adopted my two kids from foster care, not only did I not post any pics for years, I didn’t even introduce them to my own parents and friends for three months so they wouldn’t feel overwhelmed.
I hate when they get on the internet and apologize to us. Like apologize to the kid!! 😂
They care more about their image than their actual relationship with their kids and being an actual parent
To me, being a social media exploited child is even worse than being a child actor. While acting leads to a certain level of personal invasion from fans, I certainly have no idea when Lindsay Lohan or Dakota Fanning got their period for the first time. In Hollywood, at least the camera stays on set for the most part.
Indeed. They were child actors. You saw Macauley Culkin as Kevin, but you didn't see every minute of him being himself, at home, with a camera following him into the bathroom and bedroom.
Seeing how it messed up kids being child actors already, mommy vlogging showing mainly the kids should be considered a major form of abuse, calling for cps.
I agree with you completely
27:30 her ‘apology’ was all about her and how it affected her. What a piece of work.
the mom making her kid pose for the thumbnails is absolutely insane. i am so glad that parents aren’t like this. i feel so bad for him though and all the other kids who go through things like this
She quit her job as a NURSE to make money off of her kids?
You realise that if done well social media generates more money than any other profession ? Also if you look at it from an angle of her wanting to stay home with the baby full time instead of going back to work then yes it kimda makes sense
@sakuraesther6309 Its still vile to use your children to make money. It isn't their responsibility to give up all privacy and their childhood to fund their parents lifestyle.
@@sakuraesther6309"you do realize that exploiting their children makes them money tho"
@@ohh771 I agree
@@ohh771 Yes I realise that

Nah seriously. There are episodes of those children being bathed and having diaper changed or even running around nekked that aired on tv
The Shaytards started the family vlogging bs
I LOST A SWEET LITTLE PUPPY TO THIIS DISEASE AND I STILL FEEL TERRIBLE TO THIS DAY. IT WAS 35 YEARS AGO. I CAN'T SEE HOW SOMEONE COULD DO TIS TO THEIR KID'S HEART/EMOTIONS. SHE COULDN'T EVEN LOOK AT THE CAMERA BECAUSE SHE WAS LYING! PERIOD!
I had no idea these Mommy CZcams channels existed until the Ruby Franke abuse case came out. Absolutely disgusting. So very sad for the children of the channels! Thank you so much for your content and for being an advocate for these children!
I swear, Wren Eleanor’s mother response to all of that is pissing me off.
What a delusional woman… 🤦🏻♀️
Right
It’s giving demon! Soulless robot bitch. Just the question or topic of the child’s likeness being floated on inappropriate sites should’ve been enough for her to shut everything down. Unbelievable
She needs to be investigated. There’s no way she doesn’t know what that baby’s content is being used for and who is saving it.
@@diamondwhite3908 she's made videos saying she knows but it's not her responsibility

How are so many dads so whipped that they don’t stand up for their kids against something that is so clearly toxic?
They ain't whipped, they're in on it too.
This is infuriating. My blood is boiling. Family vlogging and sharenting needs to be banned. How can we get involved in banning this?
I don't hate mommy vloggers but putting your young children out there on the internet for your own financial gain is gross to me
Yes that's disgusting...
I hate them ,there was a video exposing mommy instagram vloggers who had a pizza emogi of their bio which was code fpr child porn
Even parents who post their kids excessively on FB is weird to me. Especially little girls in the bathtub or in bathing suits. Maybe I’m paranoid.
Not to mention dangerous
@@mynameispeachesno you’re right anyone with a sound mind knows it’s not safe
That toxicpositivity and being “educated about the “law of attraction” sets my teeth on edge. So the people who die from cancer just weren’t positive enough …🤮🤮🤮social media has DESTROYED us.
English is not my first language so I thought I was getting lost in translation because wtf does she mean
FINALLY someone calling out Alyssa Fullen!! She even posted graphic photos of her birthing her son. Claiming it’s a “beautiful moment”.
I cannot STAND these selfish parents. They are the same type of parents that put theor kods in pageants. Both are exploitative, put the kids at risk and its the PARENTS that are getting a kick out of it. Kids cannot consent to privacy. This is revolting.
"the printer ran out of ink" color jokes are not funny to me. My mom is afro-indigenous & my dad is 1/2 white and 1/2 black. I came out lighter than both of my parents and it did mess with my self esteem the amount of times my family made fun of me for being really fair when they're all brown. Especially my mom. Hopefully that boy don't end up having an identity crisis like I did where all my family called me white but none of the world treated me like I was white. Jokes about skin color in general are not cool to me. It's 2023...
It’s so disgusting
I hear you. Light skinned privilege is so hard
I'm just white but my dad has olive skin that gets dark, and he always made me feel bad for not having similar skin. I still honestly wish to this day I had skin like his, and I don't even experience the racism that comes with colorism like bipoc do. I can't imagine how much worse it must feel with that involved.
I'm sorry you've gone through that. It must have been really alienating at times.
@@wubblebubbleball5433she said she is having difficult time being white / light skinned and u talk about white / light skin privilege. ????
The woman forcing her son to cry while he’s crying 🫨 crazy times
For me personally I'd NEVER put my children online. It is so reckless and selfish
Thank you, Toni for addressing this. As a 42-year-old mom of three, who doesn’t post about my kids, I cannot believe so many parents have become completely comfortable exploiting their children, and are often praised for doing so.🤯 Perhaps it’s because I’m a GenX woman, so that makes me “old fashioned” to the younger moms, but privacy and bodily sovereignty are important for all humans. Truly concerned, loving parents provide an environment where the child is able to understand who they are as an individual, and they’re are able to grow and learn without the whole world watching their every move. These mommy vloggers are not allowing their children to enjoy a normal childhood. It’s almost as if a dark spell has been cast on the minds of people who participate in, and applaud this type of “parenting.” It’s sickening and heartbreaking.
In regard to Alyssa, I notice that she doesn’t use her daughter that has tighter/kinkier hair for her hair videos. Only the older one with loose texture
I noticed that too!
I find the ironic that she didn’t talk about the dad like his not part of all those videos, like y are only talking about the mom the dad is responsible too!
Omg I thought I was the only one, I actually commented that on one of their videos & ended up waking up to about 60 ish replies saying I was racist among other things 😭
YES!!! And I feel like they try to act like the older daughter looks like her mom and the younger one looks like her dad just bc the older one has looser hair & lighter eyes whereas the younger one has dark eyes and kinky hair but the older daughter 100% has her dads face, she's a xerox copy of him whereas the younger one is a mix of both but honestly favors her mom slightly more. It's weird. They def try to milk the heck out of having mixed kids
@@ariellareyes8937 LITERALLY!!!
I grew up in a time where your biggest gripe with your parents was them calling their friends to tell them about your embarrassing moments. These poor kids .😢😢 their most vulnerable moments are online forever.
Photo albums on a first date was the epic parent mike drop from back in the day..I'm 42 born in 81 for context, I remember having corded phones with extra stretchy cords to reach my bedroom 😂😂 my 16 year old took a photo next to a phone booth because she never saw one, so I explained how I would call collect at the 16 and instead of saying my name I say "I'm off come get me" 😂😂 she was so confused 😂😂
The dangers of this is so real! Kids have and are allowed to have private moments where they are sad, have a bad day, and are upset or may get disciplined. It should not be for the world to see or judge. Also, when those young ladies start pivotal moments in their lives like their menstrual cycles and all, that definitely should not be something the world needs to know about because it should be private.
Now we are seeing the effects on these kids when they are growing up. WTF. We need to do better.
Just like amending laws to include cyber bullying, laws need to be amended to protect these kids. The parents are the first line of defense and the vloggers are clearly seeing dollar signs and not their child’s well being and mental health being in danger. It’s disgusting. Keep them OFF OF THE INTERNET.
There's a group called "Quit Clicking on Kids" that is working to pass legislation in states to protect kids privacy. Their site has email and phone templates you can use to reach out to your state representatives
I hate these types of people, leave the kids alone and let them live their lives in privacy . Until they can make their own choices by law.
I hate when they use an argument “My kids enjoy being on camera.”
Really? REALLY ???? 🤦🏻♀️ They are kids, they dont understand the world and what being shoved on social media means
I have a feeling only degenerates watch this family content and this parents profit from their children, exposing them to depraved people, it is scary, whatever it takes for them not having to work a real job. Disgusting.
I’m really interested to here these kids stories in 20 years on what their experience was with their mom vlogging their lives
Mommy vloggers being dragged (rightfully so), and yet nobody's saying anything about the 7 MILLION followers that suck up this content. Not all of them are child predators, but all of them are enjoying the content and driving up the views and engagement. They wouldn't make this content if there wasn't an audience for it.
There is a couple online that has struggled with infertility for years. They just adopted a baby girl and filmed as they met her for the first time.
All I could think about was the little girl was already getting exploited from the very minute she met her new parents. Her future friends and classmates will know that about her before she even meets them. She doesn’t get to pick who knows her private life and that she was adopted. There is nothing wrong with being adopted but to not gets a say of who knows and when they know is sad.
Ah yes, The Dad Challenge Podcast recently made a video about them. People said that all comments questioning their behaviour (aka immediately broadcasting their adopted daughter online) were being deleted. It’s so sad… that poor baby.
@@iknownothing8829 the whole video felt like “we bought a puppy” it was awful.
Ahhh, yes. Dellavlogs
@@kaywheels5602 I wouldn't even do that with a new puppy! Wtf is wrong with people
@@MissRedLu I agree. When I adopted my puppy I was in the moment. Didn’t occur to me to film it. There are people that exploit their dogs and make them do skits with costumes. I know dogs are people pleasers but I can assure you your dog does not want to wear a party and have you manipulate their movements to make it look they party when you’re gone. They also don’t want to pose on a raft in the pool making it look like they are drinking a white claw (Just an example of some Instagram reels I saw)… people are weird.
Loved this video . 💜 i remember this one vlogger, I think it was Myka staueffer, her and her husband adopted a boy from Asia . I cannot remember if he was autistic or on the spectrum, and they knew this before adopting him. They had him for four years and then gave him back. I feel like they used him to get more of a following, and then once they got it decided it was “too hard”. My heart breaks for these kids.
Yes! I remember this story. Absolutely heartbreaking, especially with how the baby already had separation anxiety and the Stauffers made SO MUCH MONEY off of his adoption videos. And there was an alleged Facebook post from Myka asking about what disabilities were “minor or relatively easy to manage.” It’s absolutely messed up!
I remember that. As an autistic person I was so angry and upset. I don't understand how anyone could do that. I've been pregnant twice and miscarried both times (I think it's important to add that around 20% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage with some researchers/drs thinking miscarriages happen in up to 50% of all pregnancies, 30% being where the woman didn't know. Ending miscarriage stigma and shame is extremely important) so I may end up adopting one day and the second I get that child they will be *my child*. I cannot fathom having any other mindset; honestly it makes me sick. It almost seems evil, to take a kid in and have them bond to you and love you and trust you only for you to betray them and pretty much throw them away like they're worth no more than a pair of pants you grew tired of and gave to Salvation Army. I can't help but think that something like that would likely mess up a child for life.
If I'm remembering correctly, he also had a brain injury and may have been on the spectrum and the doctor told them, no, warned them that this would be extremely difficult and Myka went on camera crying about how that's her son and she's ready and she already saw him as her own. She started filming the journey to bring him from China and profited so, so much off of that poor boy. He got them the house, the clout, the cars, all of it. Only for her to talk badly of him in facebook mom groups and record herself treating him badly while he was having breakdowns.
They didn’t just give him back… they REHOMED him like a puppy. It was gross.
Yes!! That was absolutely disgusting 😢😢😢
I was the "pet black child" for my adopted family and they got so mad (and eventually I cut ties) because they paraded me around would put me at the very bottom of their Christmas card where they talked about all the shit everyone else was doing well and then all the shit I "did bad" (and telling all my business) from my treatment centers and the casa convinced my bio mom so sign her rights over to the casa and then they realized they didn't actually want me
Same th!? Seems like Christmas is the highlight of the day in which u can point out all mistakes of someone. They ordered some dude to dress as Santa n like all my parents friends with their kids where there n the Santa would like praise each one by one and then my name came n he started publicly trashing me 😂 like bruh tf
Wow that's so freaking sad and sickening that they wouldn't adopt him because they couldn't make money off of him thru their social media 😢😮😢. Everywhere in the world should have this law.
That "Mom" recording her son crying about the dog was one of the most twisted things I have ever seen online and Ive seen ALOT. Truly f**ked up, what a tit.
Right?!? That was absolutely disgusting. I'm watching the "apology" right now and it's garbage. She's not sorry. She's sorry she got caught. So, so gross.
Females, especially moms are devils
26:10 Poor kid was like I am crying. Kids know in their heart when their parents are bad people. May God protect and bless these children.
It made me sick to my stomach
I don’t even know what to say.
I left a prayer too, thank you for praying for the children! 🙏🏽
I literally had my mouth wide open,I couldn't believe what I was watching. Cringe,morbid,eerie,disrespectful af
what really gets me is he wasnt even just "like" he litterally said that word for word, multiple times and she just viewed him as some tedious fucking uncooperative puppet rather than her child. which hurts all the more. she doesnt deserve that poor fucking kid. hopefully he has a sensible guardian/safe adult figure who can adopt him and keep him safe and give him therapy
The Thailand situation is 😮! We need more of that for kids!
Wow, the couple who rescinded the adoption because they couldn't vlog about the baby is disgusting.
The interracial relationships with the fetishized children and hair tutorials is the most cringe for me.
All of these poor kids are basically props. I believe France has a law about this.
France and Germany, they have laws that protect people's right to privacy and that covers filming and photographs and you cant film/photograph someone without consent
So do the uk .
Yes I do agree with you I feel like she fetishized her husband and having biracial kids Alyssa that is
I would like to hear more about this one
Posting your kids online is one thing, using them as a way to make content and get money is another one. I sometimes post a picture of my little sister who's 11 now, in my stories but that's it. She has no business being online and no one but our parents and I should know how she looks like naked or in underwear. People really don't want to accept the fact that internet is as amasing as dangerous. Way more sick folks are on social media than we think. If the content is not educating us about kids, it has in my opinion nothing to do online. Like you said, if the first mom really wanted to do a digital journal she could have done it offline and kept it to herself and family. This needs to stop
Some people SHOULD NOT have kids, some people SHOULD NOT have the right to adopt kids. Will children ever be able to live a normal peaceful life on this planet ?
Thank you for talking about it 🤝
From someone who really isnt on social media, I still have to wonder, when do the kids get to enjoy just 'being'. Not having to be 'on' constantly. When do they get to enjoy experiencing life without a phone in their face?
It's my first time on your channel and i appreciated the intelligent discussion. Be well!
It’s definitely child exploitation and there should be laws.
I used to watch the Fluellen family when she was pregnant with her last baby. She was still working as a nurse and so down to earth. Once she quite her job and became full time content creator she became so annoying. 😑
I have seen some of their stuff, and agree that it is all a bit too forced now. Can't blame them for getting a good living off it as long as those kids have nice accounts growing now for their futures, which I sure they are.
I doubt they are saving any money for those kids
@@Dpurple28I think the kids should be allowed to sue when they get older.
I am MORTIFIED and almost too embarrassed to continue watching the clip of the mom who made her son pose for the thumbnail and forgot to delete the clip 😭😭
Who's watching this after the arrest the arrest of Ruby Franke?
The part that scares me with Wren is the crazy amount of people that have saved her videos. Like why would anyone save a video of a toddler? Not for anything good, that's for sure.
wow, the adoption thing really shocked me. They decided against a adoption because they can not post that child and the clip right after with the crying boy had my mouth wide open with disbelive.
If I was an adoption agency I would look really hard into that couple. If they were serious about adopting a child it wouldn’t matter if they couldn’t post stuff with them.
So messed up. Their youTube channel is more apparently important than the life and future of a child in need.
Look up Myka Stauffer, that's going to set you off, her and the husband "re homed" their adopted child said they weren't equipped for his issues but NOT before through monetary platforms gained them enough money through this exploitation and bought a house, their YT channel has since been taken down but how disgusting these people are!
I’ve been watching a lot of videos lately concerning mommy vloggers/just people posting their kids online. Your video came up on my CZcams for you page, and out of curiosity, I clicked. Not only was this video so well formatted, and very informative, I love the fact that you include a quote and Bible verse at the beginning of your videos! It really sets the tone for the conversation that you will be sharing with the audience. Thank you for all that you do. ❤ definitely subscribed
I am truly aghast at these moms putting sexualised photos or situations of their children on social media. I am not on Facebook or Instagram, but even if I were I wouldn't put any type of photo of my daughter on social media for fear of it falling into the wrong hands.
I got embarrassed enough as a kid when my parents would bring up my business to their friends. Let alone the entire world.
I don’t get why that one couple was so insistent on adopting an Asian kid specifically. If they were so desperate then they could’ve just adopted any child from adoption centres near them.
Maybe the adoption agencies near them had a policy of putting kids with families of their own race if possible, I've heard of that being a policy in some places. It's messed up but as I think was said in the video, a white couple having a child of a different race can lead to your content being more popular
Overseas adoption is super popular. Domestic adoption doesn’t get you as many views as
I think that some think an international adoption is easier than domestic, as the birth parents can't get the kid back.
I honestly felt like crying for the young ladies that apparently had their childhoods stolen. It's so sad. i made a decision years ago, to stop watching mommy blogs or family blogs on any platform
I totally agree with you. I don't even like sharing family pictures that contain children on my Facebook account! 👀
And it is very small! Children are our most precious gifts---
they deserve protection.❤
“Look at me cry like this”
“Mom I’m really crying”
Makes me question if these moms truly have a relationship with their kids or they are just doing it for the camera.
I know. That absolutely broke my heart. I have two kids and can’t imagine acting that way towards them being upset. Shoving a camera in his face that was just so mean and cold.
i feel like he’s scared of his own mom. what a freak
What's worse is that she kept saying "She's gonna make it! She's gonna make it!" and what are you gonna tell him if she doesn't make it?! Zero regard for the trauma she is causing her child.
Yes!, I feel they’re just a paycheck and accessory. I fear these kids will feel voids and deal with abuse once social media fades when they realize they never had a truly loving bond. Lots of emotional abuse in the future
They don’t. They couldn’t possibly. I respect the people that include their kids in their content but don’t make their kids the center of it.
As a mom, my baby being comforted goes before anything that I’m doing at that moment. You don’t have to be told to be there for someone when you care about them, especially your child.
Hair tutorials have helped me tremendously with my biracial granddaughters hair. I'm grateful for them. Hair tutorials can be done without exploiting the kids, you don't even have to show the kids face. Making money off exploiting kids is a special kind of gross!
I've seen many of these type, kids are faced away and the technique is the focus. I didn't have anyone with my hair type that could teach me, it's just incredibly fine and flat. I appreciate that type of creator.
The Fluellen family definitely annoys me. I blocked them in every platform and I still see them. The kids are definitely being exploited in a different way and it’s disgusting for the same reason.
i liked them until every video was about race...then it was like yuck lol
I blocked them too,yet they keep appearing 😠😠😠😠 to me,one of the most annoying and phony families out there
They r so annoying 😮
i feel horrible for each and every one of these kids :(
Omg. “Come closer for the video” and yelling at this little boy while he’s grieving his puppy. I can’t… what a horrible horrible person. So sick that she cares more about her video than her son’s emotions and fears. That poor child. That is heartbreaking.
I think Wrens mother is disgusting. Her video just shows she doesn’t want to get a job, her daughter is her income. She will likely hold it over her head if she ever wants to stop doing it. I am so scared for that sweet little girl
And what even more sad that some ppl defending her like some ppl are saying oh they just jealous ignore the hater or I don't see anything wrong of what she's doing I had to break them down like I'm like bitch no if she didn't want so many backlash she shouldn't exploit her child and using her for money and view she knew what she was I just hate when some ppl defending her and gaslighting other ppl for calling her out what she doing 🙄🙄🙄
@@Ashataiehopkins-qw2trExactly, she is a predator in disguise, but people find excuses for moms, because they have it hard. Poor girl will end up be mentally traumatised...
I don't get it. If she wanted to be a content creator for a profession, she can. There are many ways to do it without dragging the kid into it. Plenty of mommy vlogs that keep their kids private.
I just became a first time mom and took me 7 years to get pregnant. I always told myself that I wanted to keep my baby’s identity away from social media. It was going well until, everytime I would send pictures of my son through phone message to my my mother in law she would post them on Facebook and tag me. She said she was just very proud to be a grandma and I felt like an ass for confronting her. Now that people has seen my son, now I sometimes post pictures of my son, and little second videos clips of him smiling on my story mode only so it disappears in 24hrs. I’m not a blogger and never intend too. Blogging everyday and exposing your child excessively making them do things and record everything they do is where the problem is for me and also posting them in multi social media apps. Some women make their child their whole identity and content that they forget when to draw the line, the damage they’re doing. It’s gross!!!!!
I had to let my mom and mother n law understand that we weren’t posting any pictures online, but we always share pictures in private with them.
My sissy has a one year old and it was very clear that none of us are to post pictures of her son or send them to other people.This goes for everyone and I am so glad we all listened
I let my family members know I don’t put my kids on the internet and they immediately took it down. And thank god they didn’t tag me at all.
The thing is you're not supposed to publish a kid's pictures without making sure his parents are okay with it 😮
My mother in law is also on Facebook alot and I am about to have my first child. I have told my husband that we will not accept a photo of our baby being posted on Facebook. I have told him to have that conversation with his parents but if anything gets posted I will be asking for it to be removed.
I really like how you are “cut to the chase” and never beat around the bush. Subscribed
I'm a subscriber to a few of these channels. After watching this video and a few others, I have to unsubscribe. I feel sorry for the kids.😢
