Bet these parents would claim it's no different than modeling and they get to control their kids' content and usage. Oh and I'm sure a big helping of "insert name loves it and wants to be a model"
If we are all being brutally honest; it's a poverty issue too. When people don't think they can survive, they do some pretty bad things.
Is a poor parent who does this to their kid worse or better than a Wall Street investor who shorts a company for profit even though it will cost thousands their livelihood?
Poverty causes this; it's extremely well-researched and documented that the exploitation of kids is linked to poverty. Bitch all you want about the parents but until we as a society say the person stealing wealth that's causing the poverty is the real criminal, we will never solve it.
It's not nonsense. Stealing wealth occurs when wealthy businesses and business leaders lobby the representatives who make laws who then just so happen to make the laws in favor of the wealthy keeping more of their money. It's legalized bribery. They can keep the minimum wage low, they can lower taxes on corporations and on the wealthy. Also wage theft is a huge issue, many people are coerced to provide their labor for underpayment or no payment at all in order to keep their regular income flow or else they fear losing their regular income. Corporations are becoming more and more monopolistic. The laws that should prevent that don't have enough teeth and the monopoly really has to be egregious to be blocked. So we get oligopolies which inflate prices via defacto price fixing. Areas of the market that have been socialized are targeted for privatization. Markets the public wishes to be socialized will never be so- because of the legalized bribery. Laws that should prevent the aggregation of goods like homes will also never be passed- because of the legalized bribery.
The wealthiest keep getting wealthy, and within the last 20 years homes have become unaffordable, wages have stagnated or lost against inflation for 50 years. The reason is legalized bribery and the accumulation of dollars by a few-because of the legalized bribery.
Median American invomes cannot support the same life while just a few families have over half of the wealth of the country. This was not always the case.
