Insta Mum 3

[Babaloo88]

Why is the other thread closed?!? I was enjoying reading through it?!!

Farfalla I hope you said it like that because of The Big Short - fave movie best scene (off topic)

@Mumofkids
It's not just people I've mentioned that posters have never followed. There's been numerous posts on these threads where someone asks who's DLAM, Martha, MoD etc.

I mentioned other accounts to try to put in context the non disclosure and featuring of children on the "instamum" accounts. You took a quick look at Binky's and tried to tell me she hardly features her child or does ads so it's not comparable. What a load of crap.

This thread now seems to primarily be about FoD and how he endangers his kids. If you're all that concerned why not DM him (or his wife) with your concerns?

I don’t think this is that unsafe, he’s right next to the bed so if she fell she’d land on the mattress. Not always the case in these pics of course.

What I take issue with is that she is clearly unhappy yet he’s taken a photo anyway and shared it for strangers to laugh at. It’s all getting a bit too close to the Michael Jackson baby balcony dangle.

I asked who Martha was so what? It’s not mandatory to know who people are to discuss other accounts on here

And I have zero desire to dm or contact with random ig holders I want to chat about it here so I am

If others don’t want to then don’t join in

Yes, I am quite at how FOD is now using the twins so extensively in front of thousands and thousands of people. The twins can't consent, it's messed up! MOD and FOD must know this and just do it anyway.

Interesting - on the news this morning announcements that the ASA in Ireland are warning bloggers that they will clamp down on hidden advertising and lack of clarity re gifting / ads etc.

I strongly suspect if FOd was a man of colour and on benefits that he would be under the radar of SS. We all know it is a stupid act, but still some of his stunts have made me recoil (and I am a very lax parent)

I don't really care about them but it is interesting that MOD isn't bothered about comments regarding the safety of her dd's but immediately jumps out in Fod's defence if someone says he isn't funny.

I suspect the reason MOD doesn't focus on the twins is, if she did, FOD would have absolutely no USP and be out of the game. Better to leave them to him and hopefully make twice the money

Obviously this is only my opinion but there is a huge focus on the feeds on buying and accruing stuff. I suspect that MOD and FOD justify all this on the basis that it allows them to buy the twins and the other children more material things and that is much more important that privacy or consent or even safeguarding

And, saying that, as I said on an earlier thread, I suspect there will be no thought given to safeguarding and putting in trust the money that the twins earn so that they can chose what they want to spend it on when they are older as there would need to be if the twins were actors etc

And before the usual suspects pile on to say that can't be done and the twins live in a lovely house etc etc. Yes. It can be done and the twins have a right to decide when older what they would like to spend that money on rather than it being spent in their childhood on 50 million Boden dresses if Johnny B doesn't come good

flyingbird I don't think they are at risk of actual serious harm, but closing them in storage boxes, allowing them to walk down stairs in oversized sleeping bags and generally laughing whilst they are distressed whilst filming it all could definitely be a safeguarding/potential risk issue. As he is White, MC and professional then that obviously isn't a concern.

I think if anyone managed to get last nights video perhaps send to their local SS.

Just come back in for a read, and see it's even crazier in here. SS?! Seriously?! You'll all be telling me EastEnders is real next. I think some of you have trouble distinguishing from reality, seriously.
And bringing colour into it?! Getting more bizarre.

I've been reading and contributing to these threads for some time and am not a fan of MOD or FOD but some of the comments on here today (eg MOD is allowing her husband to put their children in danger because she wants to make double to money) make me uncomfortable. I agree that his stories and pictures of the twins are in bad taste and it's irresponsible of him to share some of those things with his 1000s of followers and it's interesting to imagine the different reaction if he wasn't a well off white man, but some comments recently have felt a little spiteful.

For those of you who cannot see that colour is an issue I suggest you follow Candice Braithwaite. She has highlighted so many issues surrounding people of colour. It is a real thing.

SS is out there, even more out there than the suggestion to Dm them

I don't know them, but they won't BE in danger. Does nobody on here for example put anything on say FB for a joke? I saw somebody for example on my friends list the other day on holiday - their kid was pictured next to a bottle of beer. "Starting early!" Didn't automatically mean, OMG, that poor child, he's drinking BEER! Report! Cos yanno, he wasn't.

Holiday- do you think soaps are real?

Just had a quick look at FODs account and think its just very boring. He has the same facial expression in all his photos.

I'm no fan either but also agree it might be going a bit far. I suspect SS have plenty far more horrific cases to deal with than a MC gurner filming his crying kids!

Where else can this thread go now? ASA looking promising on Ireland. Let's hope they start focusing on England too. As for filming kids, ach, I mean no one can stop folk doing what they do. I reckon it will take something bad for people to rethink. Or maybe, just maybe privacy will become fashionable again 😂

God, I hate to say it but as an active participant on other insta threads where I do object to the deceiving ads etc, this thread has turned from a genuine debate to just abuse aimed at FOD. I think that sort of conversation belittles the original issues.

Of course the twins are FODs thing. But to suggest there are safeguarding issues is a step too far.

Exactly, it's obsessive and weird. The actual debate is good, but the plain obsessives really don't like it when you do. Leave it alone for a couple of days and it's gone fucking nuts. Definitely seems to want just to pull down accounts so don't watch b them if you don't like them! Bizarre behaviour.

I think it’s actually really good as part of the debate to discuss the issue of children be used for thousands of people’s entertainment. I’m not sure why it’s offensive to discuss it. If people find these pictures and videos uncomfortable why not speak out. They are being put out there to be watched so can people not have an opinion on whether they find it wrong or not? I think children’s privacy should be respected and that’s where I think for eg instagram is out of control.

Cady no I don't think soaps are real I didn't say they ARE in danger. Everyone knows his USP is a stupid attempt of acting like a father who woke up yesterday and 'just realized' that he is in charge of these children. I hope that everyone also realizes that his stuff is staged too.
I said before I feel I am a fairly crap parent but his attempts at being 'outnumbered' have just gone completely OTT. I do especially feel sorry for the twins (who I'm sure are perfectly looked after and loved and want for nothing) who have grown up with their DF constantly engineering 'hilarious' scenes, in which many they appear to be upset or confused.

I have worked with LAC and scenes that have been engineered and broadcast to the nation by FoD could be a concern to a social worker if a looked after child reported it. No one has said they are at risk from harm btw.

There are lots of instaparents who utilize their dc for fame/fortune whatever and I don't really care about that. I am increasingly uncomfortable with FoD though (and unfollowed) because he isn't just filming his dc in their environment, he is making them perform and at times they have appeared uncomfortable. IMO that is him not prioritising their emotional well being over his desire to have entertaining footage.

Fair enough if you don't like what they do. I still don't know why someone would keep watching something they really don't like ( or like but don't agree with)
To say stuff like SS though is absolutely ridiculous. It did come across that some struggle with reality ( several on here, not singling anyone out).
