And this is why kids continue watching these thickos - they totally think Chris can message 16 year olds as much as he likes, sleep with who he likes cos it's not illegal. Can we stop the world please so I can get off? I can't even....
Oh, looks like they're heading to Portaventura next
What he did was not illegal in the UK. We know that! Personally I don’t agree with calling him a nonce or weirdo but he clearly has a penchant for teenage / barely legal girls.
The issue as I see it is he abused his position of trust, in the same way a teacher teaching 16-18 year olds would be guilty of if caught doing what he’s done.
There needs to be legislation covering a whole manner of You Tube / internet activities.
Engaging in on line conversation with an under 18 year old with sexual content should be illegal where there is an imbalance of power such as being a fan of a YouTuber. The lines of grooming are blurry regarding Chris but he definitely went down that path, however far he got, it should never have happened.
This is without getting into the blatant exploitation of their children (not just the Inghams) and filming them without consent they’re not legally able to give.
Using thumbnails and title to lure in weirdo’s (Family Fizz use Mia terribly for this) should result in immediate removal of the video in my opinion.
Taking away children’s rights to a consistent education, ability to form friendships and have a secure environment to call home (again Family Fizz spring to mind) is also something these YT parents should not be allowed to do just to line their own pockets.
Then there’s the whole not declaring ADs etc a la Rebecca Meldrum & Co
Throwing mental health around for engagement but not actually engaging, the effects of ignoring a vulnerable fan could be fatal!
Exploiting vulnerable adults and children into spending money they don’t have or can ill afford to lose. Including accepting gifts from fans with a monetary value. Again shouldn’t be allowed.
I know this is an Ingham thread but really the whole industry needs a serious review.
