The reason story of a YouTube family whose mum has now been arrested for child neglect. I did not have a clue who they were but now they are all over tik tok. Videos of the children everywhere highlighting the abuse/ people sharing their thoughts and updates on the situation like they know them. The kids tragic story shared over and over again detail by detail.
I feel so sorry for them and their little faces everywhere with people getting their 2 pence in for followers. :(

And you're sharing here?....
I have no idea who / whats you're talking about, but now want to Google...

But, I agree that Facebook can and choses not to block easy spam

Is it "Ruby Franke is a YouTuber and mother of 6 from Utah. Once a star for her prominent vlogging channel 8 Passengers, she was arrested on August 30 on suspicion of child abuse.
She and her husband Kevin Franke grew a following of 2.5 million for 8 Passengers, which documented the lives of them and their six children: Shari, Chad, Abby, Julie, Russell, and Eve."

@Certainlyreally i am not sharing videos of them being abused or videos on updates and low downs. Sharing photos of their sad faces.

There should be some restrictions. The children can't remotely consent.

The ones that upset me the most are the families with children who have been vlogging for years. The FatheringAutism channel is horrific, the girl who is nonspeaking and has autism is in her mid teens now, is totally unable to consent to any of it, and is broadcasted for the world to view. Is it going to continue when she's an adult? Does she have any say in it?

You're capable of using the internet. Someone even posted the mother's name above. It's been in the news all week.

Who remembers the Youtuber family who adopted a little autistic boy into their perfect youtube family... and then "rehomed" him when he didn't fit into their life.

That was Myka Stauffer and her family, and she does not and will not have a youtube career now.

What I meant was that I had no interest and had not seen this, and the only reason I looked for it was because the op posted here on social media
