[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised her parents don't have her remove the entire youtube channel.  How clueless are they all to allow that given her parents are arrested and at a minimum, publicly shamed and who knows what their futures will be.[/quote]

Maybe I'm naive as parent to a younger elementary kid, but what parents let their kids watch this vapid crap?[/quote]

You are naive.

At a certain age your child is going to watch stuff you don’t agree with. [/quote]

OP, don't worry:   my daughter is 11.5 and she still only gets online for homework purposes, within my sight.  You do not have to throw up your hands at any preset point and say, "Ahh, well!  Kids will be kids!"   [/quote]

I'm the PP who asked--my kid is only in 2nd grade, and gets almost no screen time unless we're traveling, or it's family movie night.  Oh, and occasionally a Netflix cartoon on the weekends (but typically it has to be in the language of her immersion school).

Just kind of horrified to think that she would get into these "influencers" later, and that she'd have enough unproductive time that she'd want to sit around watching it regularly instead of HW, reading a book, or extracurriculars.  [/quote]

Ah, you’re going to be one of those helicopter parents who pushes their kids to be stressed & over scheduled so they’ll avoid YouTube “influencers”? Got it. [/quote]

PP here.  Yes, we're a somewhat strict immigrant family, I'll own that.  I'm just hoping my kid doesn't see social media personalities as shallow and spoiled as this one as #goals to look up to or emulate!  [/quote]

Even with strict parents teens will find their way to social media and influencers. They become more influenced by their friends and the high school environment. They just hide it and go behind your back. [/quote]

Yup. We blocked most useless social media sites at home (not this one  :D ), but our kids go to school. They got to learn all about YouTubers, influencers, etc., by the time they finished middle school.[/quote]
