Child-abusing mommy blogger Ruby Franke's daughter warns parents about posting kids' pictures online
Fox News
Shari Franke, the eldest daughter of Ruby Franke, a parenting blogger convicted of child abuse in February, is speaking out about the dangers of using kids for fame or money.
"[T]here is NEVER, never a good reason for posting your children online for money or fame." "There is no such thing as a moral or ethical family vlogger." Audrey Conklin is a digital reporter for Fox News Digital and FOX Business. Email tips to audrey.conklin@fox.com or on Twitter at @audpants.
"When children become stars in their family’s online content, they become child influencers," Franke said in a statement before the Utah House of Representatives on Oct. 16. "It is more than just filming your family life and putting it online. It is a full-time job, with employees, business credit cards, managers, and marketing strategies. The difference between family vlogging and a normal business, however, is that the employees are all children. Children, from before they are born to the day they turn 18, have become the stars of family businesses on YouTube, Instagram, and most other social media platforms."
Prior to ConneXions Classrooms, Franke ran her own parenting vlog, or video blog, on social media called 8Passengers, representing herself, her husband and their eight children.
