I'm like 17 seconds into the latest video and I have HAD IT UP TO HERE with these idiot "professionals" allowing themselves to be filmed--WHY?? What is he offering them or bribing them with??
I don't know any PROFESSIONAL PERSON who would regularly allow themselves to be filmed for no reason by some schmuck unrelated to their job . (In other words, a person who would allow themselves to be filmed on the job for reasons not related to the job--obviously it's part of some jobs or can be a public relations thing.)
There is NO JOB, no matter how menial or entry-level or low-skill that I've ever worked at where I would have allowed some customer to come in and film me--let alone publish the footage in some vlog where he makes his living with hundreds of thousands of viewers. I would not BABYSIT if it required the parent filming me and sharing the video publicly, and these people are supposed to be professional "therapists"??
It's getting to the point where, is this not crossing over into violation of HIPAA? Are you really allowed to film people in therapy sessions and publicize them without their consent? And then make money off it? If it's not in violation now (since she's a minor and they have control), would it not be in violation as she becomes an adult? Is it just all going to be "okay' because they will get guardianship?
The video just gets worse. Why are they asking a non-verbal person, "Which one do you want? They have peanut butter and chocolate chip. Which one?" HOW IS SHE SUPPOSED TO ANSWER THAT WHEN SHE CAN'T READ, CAN'T TALK, CAN'T SIGN IT, AND CAN'T USE HER COMMUNICATION DEVICE??
I don't even understand what the point is of what they're doing. The skills needed to go to a grocery store and buy food are so far beyond her abilities and we know this because they're showing us the video evidence. She doesn't understand or use lists, she doesn't understand at all how to find things at the store (something which can be difficult and frustrating for NORMAL adults), she has no concept of money or math whatsoever, she has NO ABILITY to even determine what needs to be bought, she cannot READ, she seems to NOT UNDERSTAND MOST ENGLISH (making it hard to even deal with the payment portion of the trip). Oh, and because of her disabilities she is extremely vulnerable and SHOULD NEVER be left alone, so....why does she need to learn to do things beyond her abilities...alone and without assistance? So somebody can come and abduct her or molest her or steal from her or rip her off or otherwise harm her? They're training her for a situation which would be COMPLETELY NEGLIGENT to put her in.
I swear, each new video just gets more and more insane (in all the wrong ways) with this family. I honestly think at some point they MIGHT have been a decent family with a decent channel, with decent objectives for why they were vlogging. But now it's indefensible and only appealing in the "train wreck" way.
