Is There Such A Thing As a Moral or Ethical Family Vlogger? Monetising Kids Online

Life Uncut

Hey Lifers!
Britt has potentially found a new life... as a trad wife! 
Either that or she's going off grid more often.
Laura has had a bit of a mishap spreading her beautiful grandparent's ashes.

How do you feel about sharing your kids online? Where is the line when it comes to kids being paid to create online content? 
You might remember the horrible story of the mum, Ruby Franke, who was charged with 4 counts of child abuse earlier this year. There is a brand new film called 'Mormon Mom Gone Wrong' that came out on Oct 26 that details the story of the Franke family and their youtube account that had 2 million subscribers.
Shari Franke is now 21 years old and has shared her testimony in court about her experiences of abuse and family vlogging. She states that there is no such thing as a moral and ethical family vlogger.
We unpack these questions:

  • Should children have a say in family vlogging content?

  • What are the ethical implications of involving kids in content?

  • Can you get informed consent from kids?

  • How should kids be ‘compensated’ if they are making content that makes money?

  • Does it matter if they make money? Does it change when it becomes a significant income source?
