Your Parents Posted Your Entire Childhood Online | The Cost of Sharenting | ENDEVR Documentary
Gen Z – The Guinea Pig Generation: https://youtu.be/nRsLlMs_ObI
By the age of 13, the average child has 1,300 photos and videos of them online, posted on social networks by their parents. Social influencers regularly share details of their children’s lives with their followers, sometimes even allowing fans to ask their children questions directly. Videos of children are the most popular and sought after on the social network, so the algorithm promotes these posts.
“If you think that sharing your child’s life on social media is just an innocent act, I’m the proof that you are wrong,” says Cam, now 24. She knows the consequences only too well after her mother shared private moments from her childhood on social media. As a child, strangers would approach her in the street to ask about her period. She can no longer use her real name for fear that people will Google her and see all the intimate moments of her childhood.
In a hyperconnected world, linked by Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, everyday family life is no longer private. Parents can profit from their own children, monetizing their daily lives, struggles, and private moments. Some of these video channels could be seen as an outlet for a covert form of child labor, promoting manipulation and mistreatment of children. Videos of YouTube star ‘DaddyOFive’ ‘pranking’ his children were so shocking, they led to him losing custody of his children. Then there was the ‘cheese challenge’, which encouraged people to throw a slice of processed cheese on their baby’s face and upload a video of their reaction to social media.
We travel from Europe to the USA, via Canada and Dubai, mixing personal experiences with investigative journalism, to examine the harm caused by exposing children online.
This documentary first aired in 2023.

That movie "The Truman show" was so ahead of its time seeing this…

Jessica sees the symptoms but not the problem since the problem is her and her rotten influencer lifestyle where she uses children to propagate her lifestyle

I’m 5 months pregnant and my husband and I have barely told anyone except close family. I don’t plan on announcing anything until my daughter arrives healthy and safe. I couldn’t imagine dancing around with my stomach for likes and acceptance from strangers. These women are odd.

That French “mom” and the pregnant chick are the exact same person. They couldn’t care less about their helpless children. Did you see how she looked at her husband when he told her he didn’t want his child selling cookies?? If looks could kill.
I’d be willing to bet that if they had 9-5 jobs making the same money, they would still plaster their kids all over social media. The money has nothing to do with it, the attention that they get is what their drug of choice is.

24:20 is she talking about herself or what? Thats so odd to me talking about yourself in the third person. If thats the case

Despicable to monetize their kids like this.

I don't have kids but if I had I would not use them in any content because ones it's on the net it's staying there forever.

everytime i watch these documentarys hoping that something is changing or politics are taking concerns to action but no. nothing new, same old same old..delusioned parents, moneyhungry coorparations and suffering children for clout of others. what makes that all move? a system designed around money

the parent child relationship is already tainted pre birth by the thought of this being a monetary opportunity for the parents. im no parent yet but I have an innate feeling this practice is wrong

Trisha Payntas does this, specially when her channel started to become less popular… she had kids…

The weird thing to me is how people want to be so engaged with the lives of people – and children- they don’t know.

My question is: who in his/her right mind uses pictures of their kids as an avatar, or just throw the whole family on YT and social media. It’s been talked about since forever that it’s dangerous but still, people keep doing it. Good parenting

This is a very important video , leave your kids off of social media ! When people ask specifically to see your children you would think that it would raise some red flags 😢

I learned this lesson about a decade ago when I man approached me at the grocery store when I was shopping with my kids. It was scary and shocking. I'm not an influencer. I only had basic social media accounts. I have tried scrubbing myself and my kids from the internet ever since but once those images and videos are up, they are really hard to completely delete.

Always, some destroy instead of build up. Those parents who got away with destroying their children for years before being stopped, I wish nothing good for them. It is not about popularity, it is about money.

The underlying problem is that your face is like a password you can’t change. Once somebody has recorded the signature of your face, they can use it forever to find you in photos or video and other nebulous ways not worth mentioning.
