I mean, I doubt it, but weirdly that would make me feel better about how her parents are behaving after -- what would have been -- a severely traumatic experience. |
Floridaman. lol |
| They were on Good Morning America or the Today show this morning. I can't remember which. The parents seem stupid, truly vapid people who are still letting their daughter put it out there. Daughter looks like an average teenage girl. Nothing spectacular, but prime prey for pervs and weirdos. |

If you haven't seen her TikToks, they are really... something. She posts videos with titles like "How Far Would You Drive for a Girl?", and constantly writes "I love you" on her posts (which are mostly just her flirting with the camera in sexy outfits, often to music with suggestive lyrics)... and then is surprised that a mentally ill stalker dude (who she personally sold photos to, even after it was clear that he was nuts) drives from multiple states away to find her??
I mean, maybe I'm victim-blaming here, but I do think that responsible parents need to raise their daughters to have some awareness about their personal safety, and how their actions can endanger them. My daughters are absolutely being raised to be protective of their personal safety (read: Don't Encourage Stalkers). |
Using TikTok is the height of vapidity and ignorance. |
Thanks for the description of the videos. I am not on TikTok and was wondering. As for the parents, it is probably pretty simple: people want fame and $. That is probably the extent of the thought process when they allow their young teen daughter to promote nothing but external beauty to millions of people. There are so many child predators out there, and lots of parents look the other way and sacrifice their kids. This version is extreme, but sex abuse is more common than any of us want to believe. |
| This story blew my mind. The worst kind of parental negligence, but it's Florida so you can shoot the mentally ill stalker of your young teenager who's hawking her own photos for a few $$, and no laws are broken and no one cares. Totally horrifying. |

Her parents are obviously fine whoring out their daughter for "influencer" profit...
Any parent that allows their (under 18) kid to use TikTok or Snapchat or just about any other app is an idiot and terrible parent. |

Major parenting fail.
Nothing more to say. |

Her friends were selling her personal information to her stalker. They don't want her to have anything to do with them. But yes, serious issues to choose money over their daughter's safety and mental health. |
Actually, there was a boy in her school that was also stalking her - he's the one that told the dead guy how to find her. |
Allowing your teen to use TikTok in any way is a major parenting fail. |
| My 12 year old is not allowed social media. Not sure when he will be allowed. |
| All of this criticism reeks of sexism. If it were a 14 year-old boy who made TikTok videos about his gaming exploits that made millions of dollars, I'm sure you would all be cheering his entrepreneurial initiative. Obviously, the stalker is a concern, but that's really just an another example of the broken mental health system in this country- there could be (and have been) stalkers of all sorts of celebrities, whether they are on TikTok or not. |
