Brilliant article, are you sure it’s in the fail???
There doesn’t seem to be any kind of code of conduct for advertising (the asa is in place but they don’t seem to follow it) or for the use of children, whereas other industries have strict rules. So there is nothing that holds these influencers to account for poor, unethical or just general shady behaviour.
Hopefully on the back of this there will be some sort of rule or code of conduct for influencers moving forward.
Also, hinch my brother was in and out of hospital as a child, he is also autistic, he would be mortified if his photos were all over the internet, and if details of his life were given to total strangers. Your kids may seem complicit now, because they don’t really understand what’s going on, or the implications but one day they are going to hate what you’ve done to them, they will also hate their father and grandmother for allowing this to happen to them.
I may be a troll or whatever you want to call it but I have never exploited my children for money.
