Cam Barrett knows the precise date of her first menstrual period. Her mother posted the news on Facebook. Barrett, who lives in Illinois, is part of a growing movement of young people who are urging lawmakers to protect children whose parents monetize their private lives on social media.
Because these sorts of parents are stealing their children’s privacy before they even have a concept of it. It’s downright selfish to use one’s children for internet attention and likes.
I’m glad I was raised before social media because my mom 100% would’ve posted every little detail about me and it would’ve been on fb for fucking ever. It would’ve been a nightmare.
It’s bad enough having a gossiping, oversharing parent. Having one of those with access to social media must be a thousand times worse. I feel for those kids.
