Ep. 31 - Kidfluencing: A Look at the Shocking Netflix Series

In this episode, I'm joined by Sandy Foster as we dive into the Netflix documentary Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing. Together, we explore what would drive a mother to transform her pre-teen daughter into a YouTube sensation—and the disturbing consequences that followed. From cruel pranks to criminal investigations and civil lawsuits, the film raises urgent questions about exploitation in the digital age. Most importantly, it forces us to confront how we might better protect children in an era where "child YouTube stars" have become the new norm.
