Parenting and family influencers need to be stopped, or at the least heavily regulated.

This could be a headline from the onion, I honestly don’t know how they stay in business when reality is this twisted.

I feel for the mom and her toddler, and I’m glad her kid survived the accident.
But her using this incident as a means of making CONTENT? Holy shit. Time and a place, lady!

This is horrific. I need the entire family vlogging industry banned immediately. There is no world where young children can comprehend the impact of this on them enough to make informed consent.
I wish her kid a full and speedy recovery

I’m sorry .. what??
Sleepy-Giraffe947 on
So instead of helping the child they decide to film it?? God I hope she receives more punishment than just internet backlash. People need to get their phones taken away.

These people are disgusting. They use their kids and family as props while profiting because they can’t get a real job.

“Accidents happen, and the only mistakes are the ones we don’t learn from” no, I’m pretty sure hitting your own small child with your vehicle, nevermind documenting it on social media afterwards, is a massive mistake whether you learn from it or not

Over a year ago I hit black ice and hit a woman’s truck. Her baby was in it. Mom and baby were fine (checked out, we good!), but the sheer IDEA that I could have hurt a baby fucked me up severely for a while. I was a shell after that accident. I still am due to pain and shit.
But if it were my own kid and I ran over them? Oh my God I don’t even know how I’d live with myself let alone think about making CONTENT???

Useless the whole lot of them.

I just saw this story but I am wondering how she ran over her toddler in the first place? I haven’t seen anywhere how this accidentally happened why was nobody watching the toddler? Was she too busy on her phone?

Society is crying out for more parenting influencers, and I think I could handle the job! I have zero kids but I have also ran over zero kids.

Oh NOW it’s non-negotiable to hold or hold hands with young children around vehicles??? Just now??? You just realized that??? JFC, that poor child.
CriticalFlatworm9 on
If this was a fucking text post or notes app post being like ‘holy shit guys please be careful’ I’d get it, but the aesthetic text over pictures? Pictures your child CANNOT CONSENT TO YOU POSTING? Do you think if he was aware enough he’d want you liveblogging his accident that *you directly caused*?
Also the distancing of herself from blame, “our son was run over by a car. i was driving.” is concerning.

Any parent who features their children for content are Bad Parents.
Every. Single. One.
Ambitious_Egg9713 on
I’m convinced that it should be illegal to show children on any social media content that is monetized.
zendayaismeechee on
Oh my god I don’t follow her but this post came up on Insta and I remember thinking that’s wild. A while back there was an influencer whose child needed serious medical intervention after a mirror (if I’m remembering rightly) fell on top of her. No word of a lie, she posted about it and included a picture of her tiny child surrounded by paramedics who were working to save her life. WHY are you even taking that photo? It’s insane, put the phone down!

“We keep replaying it, trying to understand how this could’ve happened when we were right there. I don’t have that answer,” she added.”
Obviously someone wasn’t *right there*. It happened bc no one was paying attention to the child.

Her Instagram handle tracks. It’s always these trad assholes who put children at risk for their own stupid lifestyle. This isn’t any different than not vaccinating your children it’s pure stupidity on the parent’s part.
soriniscool on
Unfortunately I grew up in a culture where it was commonplace for professional beggars to permanently disfigure their children to kick-start their begging careers.
I really hope this was an accident.
Agreeable_Flow_3673 on
I read this earlier and remember the part that jumped out to me was that she said she should have double checked before she pulled out and I can’t figure out who just drives without looking. How do you not double, triple, and naturally continue to scan the world when you’re behind the wheel? There’s distracted and then there’s maybe we aren’t ready to drive yet.

why did we agree to call these freaks “influencers?”

She also shills essential oils and supports chiropractors on her blog so she clearly has a history of being a dumbass and a grifter. Her poor son.

“Accidentally”
We know how that goes.
JeffProbstsBlueShirt on
Odds she did it on purpose?
This is like extreme Munchausen syndrome by proxy. She’s trying to get attention by having a “sick” or “hurt” child.
Call CPS at the very least.

I’m currently reading the book Like, Follow, Subscribe about mommy blogs and influencers. It’s really obscene just how much money these people are making. Highly recommend the book so far.
Now with this, she’s going to be absolutely raking it in. Absolutely disgusting.
p3achplum3arthsun on
I saw someone do this once. I was walking down the street, across from a house. Kids playing in the front yard, dad getting in the car. Dad starts reversing out of the driveway, one kid goes running across the lawn and *bonk* right into dad’s back bumper.
The dad cut the engine off and jumped out of the car, ran to the kid, who only started crying when he saw the adults freaking out- honestly probably got hit about as hard as if he’d run around a corner too fast and smacked his head on a wall.
My point being- accidents happen, kids are unpredictable, every human being alive can get on “autopilot” when doing a task we’ve repeated enough times.
But there’s that, and then there’s whatever this lady is doing. I’m sure that dad I saw felt a lot of remorse, fear, etc…. posting about it like this kind of reads to me like she doesn’t really feel very bad about it. Which, you know, she should.

. Everything is a paycheck and you have to keep feeding that beast, even when you hit **your** toddler with **your** car. You don’t even stop to think how dystopian it is to make content of you hitting your child with a 20,000 pound vehicle. You just do it.

“Today has been the worst day of our lives. A true nightmare for a parent happened to us today,” she said, explaining how she accidentally ran over her son, Henry.
The influencer said that X-rays of Henry’s chest, legs, and neck came back normal, but he has a fracture in his pelvis that will take time to heal.
“We keep replaying it, trying to understand how this could’ve happened when we were right there. I don’t have that answer,” she added. “Accidents happen, and the only mistakes are the ones we don’t learn from.”
All that’s missing is ‘hit like and subscribe!’ How out of touch do you have to be to see running over your own toddler as an income/ content opportunity?
corrosivecanine on
I think we need to institutionalize all influencers until we figure out what’s going on.
1borgek on
I mean watch to catch a predator once and you know for a fact the creeps are out there but influencers spoon feed their children’s content out to anyone with a wifi signal. It shouldn’t be legal to monetize their childhoods. It’s so sad poor kiddo had to “smile” for the camera after being hit. Sickening.
