Cam Barrett knows the precise date of her first menstrual period. Her mother posted the news on Facebook. Barrett, who lives in Illinois, is part of a growing movement of young people who are urging lawmakers to protect children whose parents monetize their private lives on social media.
In addition to the details above, she also told lawmakers that when she was 15, she was in a car accident. Instead of extending a comforting hand, her mother shoved a camera in her face, she said. She later told CNN that her mother took photos and videos of her on a hospital gurney and posted them to Facebook.
That’s just disgusting behavior. I don’t think that woman was fit for parenting with or without social media.

Her parents were her paparazzi, absolutely heartbreaking.
Agreed, but the allure of fame and Facebook/YouTube made this behaviour worse.
Or at least gave the mom the tools to make it worse.
