I think it's because they still have trouble fully accepting that Abbie will never be "normal" or have that kind of life. So they hang onto that dream or delusion to give themselves hope.
I completely agree tho that it would be much better for them but more importantly for Abbie if they meet her where she actually is and accept that she will never be even remotely independent and is going to need a lot of care for the rest of her life.
Just imagine the (literal) existential crisis that's gonna go down when reality comes crashing in on them.
I honestly have to wonder if any of the professionals involved here have ever been honest with them about the reality of things like job coaches and independent living. I'd like to think that they at least have a subconscious clue as to what's coming, that therapists or a doctor or someone along the way has told them what Abbie's needs actually will be in adulthood, and that they're just so deep in denial (or desperate for ongoing content) that they pretend she'll be able to work some day.
Does anyone know if any legislation is being introduced to stop these family vloggers from exploiting their kids. I know there was mention of enacting laws that were similar to child actors. I recall seeing a vlog by Ass that said Abbie could consent because his interpretation of her consenting was walking away from the camera. The only way you're going to stop them is if they're made to stop or one of these creeps does something that makes national news and exposes these parents for negligence. It would be a hard sell but, kids like the Labrant family are going to grow up with this tit following them for many years. The Massives will spend all of this money and won't have a pot to piss in in a few years and Abbie will more than likely end up in a group home. Neither parent will be in great health, maybe Ass, but he won't do it on his own even though P doesn't the barest minimum to care for Abbie. And I am suspect of their affiliation with George Mason University and the sponsorship. From the link they provided, all they did was cut and paste the course information. Am I missing something? I think if some State legislators wanted to put a stop to this bullshit, A&P would be a good place to start.
No,
and if we're being honest here, don't expect much, if any, legislation.
State level? Florida
will not enact any sort of legislation like this.
At the federal level? Nah, there's too much tech lobbying money involved. Tech firms love anything that brings the clicks (and the subsequent dollars). Youtube doesn't give a single
tit about children being exploited. Facebook doesn't give a single
tit. They're all for it. Family channels/pages bring huge engagement which means advertisers pay more to advertise which means the tech companies make bank.
I cannot stress it enough. Youtube, FB, Twitter, the advertisers, the supporting companies that keep the sites running - none of them give the tiniest of fucks about kids like Abbie, or about kids getting exploited in even worse ways, or about anything other than money. People literally mean nothing to the companies. They
do not care.
Only the most egregious types of exploitation are actually legislated and banned from media, and that only happens after the problems are so egregious that they can no longer be ignored. And by egregious, I mean the overt, truly disturbing stuff that's already illegal - the only legislation that has any teeth when it comes to visual exploitation of children and/or disabled people is the absolute worst of the worst, the most vile content out there.
A family parading their severely disabled child in front of half a million social media users for money will never be illegal. It makes money, it's not blatant XXX content, ergo the "free market" has deemed it acceptable and it will continue.
