This article from the NY Times is horrifying. How are these parents allowed to exploit their kid this way and how did the teen stalker get a gun and drive from Ellicott City, MD to Naples, FL without his parents knowing? What is going on in America????? I feel so bad for all of the kids involved in this story. How to I protect my kids from this? They aren't tweens yet, but will be soon.

Step 1: don't support any sort of ideas of social media fame.
Step 2: support gun control |
| Ugh, this everything about this is gross. |
OP here. Yes, absolutely and I already do that, but I'm really worried about just the potential exposure to seeing kids act like this online. The way these girls are encouraged to act online to gain fame and wealth is appalling. |
TikTok is 100% gross. It is toxic - all of TikTok. If you let your kids use TikTok, you are horrible at parenting. |
What are you prattling on about? I'm mid-50s and love TikTok. I love BookTok, people posting about women's issues/misogyny, cooking, working dogs, dance and music. I, occasionally, get stuff I'm not interested in but simply indicated 'not interested' and I don't see it again. I've learned a lot and enjoyed it. |
TikTok is weaponized social media, designed to be addictive developed by the Chinese govt after they saw Russia’s success at disrupting the US election with Facebook. |
I do think it is geared towards young mind, but old people can like cocaine too. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/05/business/media/tiktok-algorithm.html |
DP here. Did you read the article? I realize that the above PP was generalizing, but we aren't talking about a 50 year old's TikTok use. The fact that you responded to the original thread by immediately -- and only -- relating your answer to yourself shows a certain type of narcissism that is possibly fostered by these apps. |
You are an imbecile (look it up). |
All this she had to give up for shot at being a reality TV star? And IS SHE RECORDING TIKTOK while driving??? |
| That’s one area I kind of feel like trump was right. Ban TikToc. |
This is true. |
| I think the story is a bit crazy. Her "friends" in other states were selling her photos and personal information to him? He blasts his gun into her bedroom door and because of that she withdraws from school (what did school have to do with it?) but not social media? The whole family has some serious issues... |
