it was amazing

SO impactful and important! This is exactly why i am so anti family vlog channels and any social media pages that use children for some type of income, before they are mature enough to understand what they are signing up for. this quote from chapter 48 stuck out to me the most: “I wondered how the public’s consumption of others� pain and suffering crossed the line from empathy to voyeurism?

Megan Woah!! Yes.


Emily That quote bothered me because she just got done a few chapters before talking about how she herself loved watching true crime shows


Courtney Bracy Emily, I had the EXACT same thought!


Jane There are SO MANY families making a living from their kids in this way, showcasing their super large families and it always makes me feel so sorry for the kids, every moment from birth on filmed and showed to the world. It’s so gross.

Abigail H This quote stuck with me as well. Especially as someone who does listen to true crime, it’s so easy to become desensitized or not think deeper into how these things have affected multiple people. This is why it’s so important to read people’s experiences
