Posting Your Kids for Profit: A Debate on Child Privacy

from The Dr. Phil Podcast

Family vloggers are cashing in on their kids' lives—but at what cost? As YouTube and TikTok turn everyday parenting into profit, critics are sounding the alarm. Are children being exploited for likes, views, and brand deals? Dr. Phil sits down with social media parents, a former "mommy vlogger," an online safety expert, and the eldest son of the controversial DaddyOFive channel to discuss the hidden fallout behind the filters. From safety risks and online predators to legal gray areas and emotional damage, this episode asks the hard questions: Is it ethical to build a brand off your children? Should kids have a say in their digital presence—or a share in the profits?
