I don't feel like any parent should profit from their child. If your child say is a model, ALL the funds should go into a trust for the child, not the parents to live on. We have seen the abuse of child stars from back when I was young and many of them have spoke up as adults about just how bad it was. Theses kids were used, abused and thrown away. I don't feel it's much different for vloggers that vlog their kids.
If people want to reach out and help others in their struggles with special needs kids, they could have a private forum, putting them on YT is for one thing dangerous. Think of the pedophiles and creepers watching your child?
If YT could expand their rules to NO kids will be expolited on YT for money, NONE. That would be great to me.
Parents need to find a way to make a living that doesn't use their kids!
I don't know if MD and her followers can get Huxley's Law passed or not but at least she is trying. And the more videos she makes and the more people hear the truth about FA, the less fans they will have.
I don't see anything coming from this. Ultimately it is down to Youtube to change things or a law to pass. Youtube isn't not going to do anything. Family vloggers are loved by advertisers as "wholesome content" (I actually wrote a letter to Curiosity stream to give them a piece of my mind. The answer was a generic apologies, no can do piece). To actually change their stance, it needs a ton of exteme pressure from different sides. Youtubers (high caliber ones like deFranco and certainly more than one) PLUS advertisers.
Changing the law might work, but that also needs a ton of campaigning, let alone money and patience. Those family vlogger themselves will fight tooth and nail.
Think about alle the families that imploded and what changed in the aftermath. Daddyofive - nothing, the Schofields - nothing, the stauffers - nothing, 8 Passengers - the outcry is gathering steam, but it is too early to say anything.
Edit: Regarding Huxley's law. Remember that this is a very unique situation. Huxley was adopted and later rehomed like an unruly dog. Any potential law regarding him will most likely be about adoption. It is completely different from the Massives.
I could be wrong but I believe Huxley's Law is about families vlogging their children for money, not the whole adoption thing. This is the "about" explanation on Huxley's Law: "to raise awareness and have a law passed - (for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, etc.), that prohibits the exploitation of minors, and especially those with disabilities at ANY age.
