[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Horrifying. I have a tween DD who's into sports, and while it's nowhere near as bad, I'm still stunned by the number of girls whose parents have set up Insta accounts to promote them. I get that it's part of recruiting once they're in HS, but at age 10? WTH are you putting your kid out there? Ick.[/quote] It sounded like some of the accounts mentioned in the article were basically set up like that and to show the girls’ dance costumes to other girls as part of a promotional agreement with the brands, and then the comments were taken over by gross guys. And then the moms found that they couldn’t even block all the gross accounts because there were just too many and IG limited how many blocks they could do. The whole thing is just so crazy. It’s like the old Toddlers and Tiaras pageant world on crack. [/quote]
