Honestly, these concerns seem a bit overblown to me. The warning about salmonella is good, but worrying about bruising kids' heads or embarrassing them from one TikTok video seems like pearl-clutching.
I think much more concern is warranted for these family YouTube channels that feature kids. Those kids are having their childhoods broadcast to the world just to earn money for their parents and/or stoke their parents' dreams of fame. They don't really have a say in the manner and are too young to understand the potential consequences of what they're doing. To my mind, that's a new form of child abuse.
Isn't there something to be said about parents just not doing cruel things to their kids? Like, this isn't even funny it's just mean. I have kids. Why would I do this to them?
I honestly don't know how much of a concern salmonella is from this. In the US at least, eggs are required to be thoroughly washed to be sold in stores. Bruising from literally hitting your kid seems like a real concern though. And the person your kid should be able to trust the most humiliating them on the Internet is absolutely a core memory forming event.
Just all around stupid.
those parents never left their high school bully phase
I would like to invite you to learn about some child development and basic psychology.
Trust me… it’s not one video. It’s all the videos.
Their entire lives are being publicly documented… and it’s almost impossible to get taken down.
Well, if that's the case then I agree with you, but that's not the impression I got from the article. One video isn't going to ruin a child's life. An entire series could though.
Oh look another medical armchair expert.
