I think everyone on Social Media needs to wake up. Fine, if they want pose themselves in the buff, but innocent children, for every bubbling laughing baby, or posed smiley children, who have no voice, what about them?
For all the photos of my childhood there are none, zip, zero, that have ever been exploited. And there are some photographic gems. One's that run rings around the plebeian snapshots circling the globe.
Back in my day if you weren't in a crowded NYC event covered by the 1A, you had to have permission to publish a photograph. Think about it.
If adults knew this back then, and more importantly why, then what has changed?
I only knew Devonte's global photo covered by the 1A in 2014. Honestly, I thought he was a street kid.
I, as no doubt so many, had no idea he, or his family had a global presence.
I am a self admitted SM Luddite, but also a careful one, because I grew up in a time when your image and words were powerful, and could be used against you.
To see these children used in this manner for fame, is what defines J&S. It's not only a wake up call for "their community" but a wake up call for all.
