I don’t even share pics of my grandbairns after watching a documentary I just couldn’t take the chance, yet here we have influencers who have been warned of the dangers but choose to ignore why ? Because they use their children to earn money I mean how low can you go ? These bairns will one day be asking why and also where is my money ? There is no justification, no excuse what they are doing is exploitation , they are depriving very young children the right to a childhood.This is the aspect that bothers me most about 'influencers' / you tubers /vloggers / instagrammers using their children.
If you are attracting followers for your own content - fashion, beauty, fitness, travel.... whatever ! well that is fine. It may be your chosen career and your followers may include the occasional stalker / obsessed fan but that is a risk that as an adult you assess and take appropriate steps to minimise the risk of someone turning up at your doorstep, or worse.
If you decide to constantly include images in the public domain of your children and have tens of thousands of followers then you have potentially lost control. All that matters to some of these influencers is the numbers of followers, views, clicks, likes, £££ regardless of who is lurking in the background harvesting images.
All you need to do is google phrases such as "Do you know where you childs image is" "paedophiles using child images" etc and read the evidence. Blindly thinking 'only happens to someone else' isn't good enough when it is your child. It doesn't only happen to other people - waken up folks!
A close friend in America is a very talented professional photographer and has three beautiful children. Her instagram following was over 100K and as such she was approached by several companies to 'review' their products as although she never shared clients children on her site, she did photograph her own children very occasionally to showcase her work. Around a year ago she received information that harvested images had been manipulated and found on more than one child abuse sharing sites. One had been very professionally altered to photoshop her daughters head onto a naked childs body, another of her eating an ice-cream ........., her sons photo had also been taken.
I have personal experience of an image that permission was given for to used for charitable purposes being taken by someone that had no right to it - I cannot elaborate on that as it became a police matter and as far as I am aware the image had not been shared.
The thought of anyone sitting in front of their computer 'indulging' themselves over an image of their child and trading it with others of a like mind should surely be enough for any parent to re-assess their online presence and security.
If influencers and their families do read this site, I am not at all interested in what colour you paint your kitchen , who did it, why or when. I don't give a monkey's about whether tans are natural, spray on, rub on or filters. If you as an adult have chosen this as your job, do it professionally with integrity and like other career minded adults....don't take your kids to work every day.

Her lips are, arguably, full of lip filler.I haven’t watched her stories in a while but have I missed something about her lips?? She can barely speak in her stories about Manifest.
Not the Meldrums but this is Kerry M Conways reaction this morning to an article about a bloggers children’s pictures being used inappropriately and without their knowledge. So she is just going to carry on as normal and take a chance that her little girls aren’t used in this way? NiceThe Meldrums (and lots of other “influencers”)
Know fine well that the images they share of their children are taken and used by creeps and Weirdos.
They KNOW! They know. And they simply don’t care. They continue to use their children, to exploit their children in order to make a few quid. The whole thing is disgusting and they are a damn disgrace for continuing to do it.

Exactly. BrummyMummy has had irrefutable evidence sent to her that her kids pictures are being used this way and has still continued to post pictures of her kids in swim wear. They really don’t give a damn.The majority of these so called “influencers”
Are as thick as 2 short planks.
I’ve never known anything so ridiculous.
Pimping your children out online when you know child abusers and pedophiles are actively seeking out and using children’s images to MASTURBATE over and god knows what all else is NOT the same as not living in fear of a terrorist attack for the love of God.
The might or might not argument is insane.
I’m sorry but actively posting images of your kids online when you know this shit is happening is fucking disgusting and as far as I am concerned it’s basically condoning the abuse of children.
i gather Lee and Prince Harry should exchange notes? lolHe is totally the token wanker
My friend in America was alerted to the use of her children following a joint operation under the umbrella of the Virtual Global Taskforce of a Swiss Protection team cracking a site based in Russia that had over 600,000 images harvested from across the globe and accessed by 'members' in almost every country including her home state and in the UK - yes 'influencers' that creepy bloke down the road may be on the dark web salivating over your child but you are going with the premise that he may not.The majority of these so called “influencers”

If something were to happen to Poppy while she was left alone Reb would milk it for all it was worth. It would be a long video with a clickbait title and would focus on how ‘traumatised’ and fragile she’s feeling as her daughter nearly died etc etc ad nauseum. No mention of it being Rebs fault. She’d play the card of I’m all alone Solo parenting and I haven’t got enough time to watch them all individually now that Lee’s not around and that’s all the trolls fault. She’ d try and pass it off as ‘well toddlers get into everything and you can’t watch them every second of the day’. I suspect she’d get away with it Scott free too like everything elseI'm a laid back parent, I'll leave my almost 2 year old in a different room whilst I put the washing away or cook tea but if he shouts I'd instantly be checking on him. She's not just laid back she's borderline neglectful and it's hard to watch. Poppy is such a bright beautiful little girl and she just wants her mum's attention it makes me so sad.
I must also add that Poppy is bloody adorable and she melts my heart. It really gets me down that she was born into that family, she doesn’t deserve itIf something were to happen to Poppy while she was left alone Reb would milk it for all it was worth.

Has she really likened paedophiles downloading images of HER offspring, which SHE uploads, to a terrorist attack that is quite frankly out of her control?Not the Meldrums but this is Kerry M Conways reaction this morning to an article about a bloggers children’s pictures being used inappropriately and without their knowledge.

As a parent even the thought of one of these monsters looking at a photo of my children turns my blood cold. It makes me feel physically sick. How can people like Kerry Conway or Emma Conway or the Meldrums genuinely sit there are just shrug their shoulders and have this “Oh well. Life’s a bitch, shit happens but fingers crossed it won’t happen to us” is just beyond disturbing.Has she really likened paedophiles downloading images of HER offspring, which SHE uploads, to a terrorist attack that is quite frankly out of her control?
They’re not like-for-like references.
That’s just absurd... “it might not”, ok, it might not, I’ll give her that.
But it IS less likely to happen if she didn’t exploit her offspring online for cheap likes and a few quid.
Absolutely ridiculous.

Nah, she wheels it out every so often! Usually around the same time as a "mental health break" followed by #ad "this is what fixed my mh this time" (Tho that probably won't happen the next time, due to no one wanting to work with her!)She’s already done the “Tattle Trolls” content.... there’s only so many times that cry for sympathy will work, surely?
I’ve messaged reading eggs to express my disappointmentFirst ad up in a while....
I might be wrong but shes worked with reading eggs beforeSo the reading eggs AD just up - 'spending some much needed time......' when? Because that's clearly not today as we know SOOOOOOO MUCH work goes into these ADs and the wait to then get them approved!!! I HATE when these women do this......I've messaged reading eggs to ask why they are working with her - I'd genuinely like to know how and why they have chosen Rebecca Meldrum to work with given her recent and very public mental instability brought on by Social Media, surely if they'd done their research on her they should've been more responsible as a brand and chosen someone more stable to with! Brands are as much to blame by not carrying out their due diligence! They are also happy to exploit minors!
