Ruby Franke abuse pushes Utah to shift money, power from mommy bloggers to child influencers
Fox News
Disgraced Utah parenting blogger Ruby Franke's eldest daughter, Shari Franke, has taken action to help protect other kids with a new child actor law in her home state with HB 322.
"[I]f you are a child in content creation, when you get to be an adult and you find that content embarrassing or emotionally damaging in some way, you can have that removed." 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.
"I have been working on drafting HB322 that would protect child influencers in our state," Shari Franke said in a February Instagram post. "This bill would require parents to create a trust fund for their children and require parents to pay children a minimum amount. It would also allow children influencers, at 18, to have any content they appeared in to be removed from all social media platforms."
Shari added that certain family bloggers and lobbyists in Utah are against the legislation, but wrote that "[i]f family vlogging is as good as ‘ethical’ family vloggers want you to think, they should not fear being mandated to pay their children (because they say the children are already being paid anyway)."
