  • >> WELCOME BACK.

  • MANY SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCERS

  • USE THEIR CHILDREN AS CHARACTERS

  • IN THE CONTENT THEY POST.

  • SOME OF THESE KIDS ARE PURSUING

  • LEGAL ACTION NOW TO MAKE SURE

  • THEY'RE FINANCIALLY COMPENSATED

  • FOR IT.

  • YEAH.

  • THERE'S A LONG HISTORY OF CHILD

  • STARS BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF

  • BY THEIR PARENTS.

  • THIS IS STARTING TO FEEL THE

  • SAME WAY, BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE

  • BEEN SHOOTING THEIR CHILDREN

  • SINCE THEY WERE BORN.

  • NOBODY ASKED THE KIDS.

  • NOW PEOPLE KNOW THE KIDS' LIVES,

  • GOT ALL THEIR BUSINESS.

  • >> SUING THE COMPANIES OR SUING

  • THE PARENTS?

  • >> THEY'RE SUING PARENTS.

  • >> NOW IT'S IN THE PALM OF YOUR

  • HAND.

  • BACK WHEN IT WAS CHILD ACTORS,

  • PEOPLE GROWING UP ON SETS, YOU

  • HAD TO HAVE PARENTS THAT SHOWED

  • UP, KIDS HAD TO GET THESE PARTS,

  • BE IN THESE ROLES.

  • WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.

  • RAVEN SHARED A LOT OF THAT.

  • THEY'VE TALKED ABOUT WHAT GOES

  • ON THERE.

  • NOW ANY PARENT CAN DO THAT.

  • >> YEAH.

  • >> WELL, IN THE ENTERTAINMENT

  • INDUSTRY, THEY PUT IN PLACE A

  • LAW REQUIRING COMPANIES TO SET

  • ASIDE 15% OF EARNINGS TO GO TO

  • THE CHILD IN A BLIND TRUST, BUT

  • THERE'S NO PROTECTIONS FOR THE

  • INFLUENCERS.

  • >> THAT'S THE THING, WHY ARE YOU

  • MAKING YOUR CHILD YOUR BRAND?

  • I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.

  • I MEAN, THESE INFLUENCER

  • PARENTS.

  • WE ALL KNOW WHO THEY ARE.

  • WE DON'T NEED TO NAME-CHECK

  • THEM.

  • YOU DO SEE IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA

  • ALL THE TIME.

  • THEY'RE DOING STUFF WITH THEIR

  • KIDS, TELLING YOU HOW TO RAISE

  • YOURS, AND ALL OF THIS.

  • SO THEIR CHILDREN BECOME THEIR

  • BRAND.

  • THEY MAKE MONEY OFF THEIR

  • CHILDREN.

  • I THINK IT'S SUCH A VIOLATION OF

  • A CHILD.

  • HERE AT THIS TABLE WE TALK ABOUT

  • OUR FAMILIES.

  • WE'RE SORT OF REQUIRED TO DO IT,

  • IT'S PART OF THE GIG, AND WE'RE

  • PUBLIC FIGURES.

  • AS YOU NOTICE, I DON'T PUT A LOT

  • OF PICTURES UP OF PALOMA,

  • BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T LIKE IT, AND

  • SHE AGENCY TO SAY NO.

  • SHE'S ALWAYS SAID NO ABOUT IT.

  • GABRIEL, ON THE OTHER HAND,

  • DOESN'T CARE.

  • I DON'T WANT TO MAKE MY KIDS MY

  • BRAND.

  • I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE

  • MOTIVATION BEHIND IT.

  • >> WE TALK ABOUT SO MANY THINGS

  • HERE, ABOUT SO MANY SCHOOL

  • SHOOTINGS, WE TALK HERE ABOUT

  • PEDOPHILIA.

  • IT FEELS TO ME THAT THE WORLD IS

  • SO DANGEROUS OUT THERE, AND IF

  • YOU'RE PUTTING THESE PICTURES OF

  • THESE LITTLE KIDS, THEY'RE GOING

  • TO BE EASILY RECOGNIZABLE.

  • YOU KNOW, YOU'RE PUTTING A

  • TARGET ON THEIR BACK.

  • YOU'RE MAKING THEM THAT MUCH

  • MORE VULNERABLE TO BAD THINGS.

  • >> THEY SHOULD BE OLD ENOUGH TO

  • GIVE CONSENT TO IT, I THINK.

  • FRANCE PASSED A LAW ALLOWING

  • KIDS TO SUE THEIR PARENTS OVER

  • THIS KIND OF THING.

  • IT'S NOT AS EASY IN THE UNITED

  • STATES, BECAUSE PARENTS HAVE

  • LEGAL IMMUNITY FOR LAWSUITS

  • AGAINST THEM WHEN THE KIDS ARE

  • MINORS, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, WHEN

  • MOST OF THE DAMAGE IS DONE.

  • >> 18 AND UP NOW, GOING YOU HAD

  • AN OPPORTUNITY TO ASK ME, AND

  • WHERE'S MY MONEY.

  • >> YEAH, YOU OWE ME MONEY.

  • >> WE'VE SEEN THE CRUEL

  • UNDERBELLY OF SOCIAL MEDIA.

  • WE SEE THE HATEFUL, MEAN, CRUEL

  • COMMENTS.

  • I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR FOR A

  • KID TO BE SUBJECTED TO THEM.

  • PEOPLE SAY ANYTHING ON THE

  • INTERNET.

  • THEY'LL ATTACK KIDS'

  • APPEARANCES.

  • >> ABSOLUTELY.

  • >> THE WAY THEY SPEAK, THE WAY

  • THEY CARRY THEMSELVES.

  • WE SHOULDN'T SUBJECT KIDS ANY

  • EARLIER.

  • >> WE TALK A LOT ABOUT THE ILLS

  • OF SOCIAL MEDIA, BUT I WAS

  • STRUCK THIS WEEK BY ONE OF THE

  • BENEFITS OF SOCIAL MEDIA,

  • BECAUSE BUT FOR SOCIAL MEDIA AND

  • THE ACTIVISIM AND DEMANDS FOR

  • JUSTICE FOR RALPH YARL, THAT

  • 84-YEAR-OLD RACIST, YOU KNOW,

  • WITH A TRIGGER FINGER, WOULD

  • STILL BE SLEEPING IN HIS OWN

  • HOME.

  • >> WELL, I WILL SAY THIS, LOOK,

  • MY KID IS -- YOU KNOW, SHE DOES

  • HER THING, AND SHE DOES HER

  • THING.

  • YOU KNOW, BUT NEVER WITHOUT HER

  • PERMISSION EVER.

  • I MEAN, SHE'S A GROWN WOMAN.

  • HER KIDS ARE NOT -- YOU KNOW,

  • ONE OF THE KIDS DECIDED SHE WAS

  • GOING TO TRY SOMETHING, AND SHE

  • DECIDED SHE WAS GOING TO DO IT.

  • WITH THE LITTLEST ONES, NOBODY

  • DOES THAT, BECAUSE IT'S TOO EASY

  • FOR PEOPLE TO TAKE THOSE

  • PICTURES AND DO ALL KINDS OFTHI.

  • >> YEAH.

  • >> SO WHEN YOU'RE DOING THESE

  • THINGS WITH YOUR KIDS, KEEP IN

  • MIND THAT YOU MAY THINK IT'S

  • JUST PEOPLE WHO LIKE YOU, WHO

  • ARE LOOKING AT THESE PICTURES,

  • IT'S NOT.

  • IT'S PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEFARIOUS

  • DESIRES.

  • AND ALSO, IF YOU'RE MAKING MONEY

  • ON YOUR FAMILY PUT SOME MONEY

  • AWAY FOR THE KIDS.

  • IT IS NOT THE KID'

  • RESPONSIBILITY TO SUPPO
