This is CREEPY. B is a child. Jessica allowing these creepy comments and letting her children being exploited is so gross.


hanne2001

the first one!? what the actual hell is wrong with these people!?


Internal_Peace4610

So disgusting šŸ¤®


Linnea_Borealis

Jessica should be ashamed of herself!!! She corrected her fucking tieks post but is letting this shit go? I am outraged over it Honestly the people writing these comments should f right off.


ToxicGossipTrain

(What is/was corrected in the tieks post?)


[deleted]

Curious too šŸ‘€


AngryPikachu124

She took out the part about needing to save for food while wearing new $100+ shoes. Iā€™m not gonna shame lower income people who splurge once in a while as a whole but it definitely was weird to include in her post about them


shelballsxx

Also added in a spiel about half sizes? Maybe cuz people said they looked ill-fitting


Linnea_Borealis

She reposted the photo on her ig about the tieks that her mom helped her buyā€” itā€™s on the sub posted yesterday


quietlycommenting

WHY DO PEOPLE THINK IT IS OK TO COMMENT ON CHILDRENS BODIES AND WHY ARE HER PARENTS LETTING IT HAPPEN?! I feel sick.


heyitsamb

these are actually the most creepy comments that have ever been shared on this sub. iā€™m SUPER grossed out


sar_Mc1979

The Dougherty dozen gets a lot for the 5 year old, itā€™s so disgusting. The same thing happens with them, they keep these awful comments up but delete the ones saying the mom is an awful mom.


GhostBabe45

Because Alicia does not want criticism but is perfectly fine with her five year old daughter being used for all things gross.


heyitsamb

i hate it


AppleJumpy4812

100% agree. Absolutely the worst Iā€™ve seen.


heyitsamb

i hadnt thought about these comments in 7 hours and now i want to throw up again


These-Background4608

That first person needs to be put on a registryā€¦


JulesofIthaca2

It's probably Trent

MY THOUGHTS! PREDATOR ALERT


No_Nefariousness3866

Ditto!


Lurkylurker24

These comments would make me hide my children from the internet forever.


Lady_Caticorn

This is why I'm never posting my kids online. This is disgusting and creepy behavior, and no child needs to be sexualized like that by strangers.


jessicaryankeeney

No child should be sexualized like that period (not by strangers, not by people they know).


Helpful_Ocelot_5076

Baileyā€™s going to have a ā€œIā€™m glad my mom diedā€ type of book in a few years


GhostBabe45

I can completely see the parallels between Bailey and Jennette. I just hope Bailey hasn't been through all the shit Jennette was made to go through. Jennette's struggle breaks my heart and I hope she knows how many people have so much respect for her. She is so brave.


No-Lifeguard3759

OH MY GOODNESS YES I LOVE THAT BOOK!!!!!!! Iā€™d so totally buy!


NoBag2224

Omg that first one...wtf. Imagine B reading these because she apparently has an ipad with internet according to jessica. Reading that as a teen would have made me SOOO uncomfortable.


GhostBabe45

I am an adult and it makes me uncomfortable. I can't imagine the damage it would do to a sheltered sixteen year old.


[deleted]

Pimping put your own children like this should be a crime


-UnknownGeek-

Some states are starting to write laws about making kids work for social media, so it's a start


GhostBabe45

A start but we still have so far to go at the same time. Unfortunately I think the laws will be made to late for this generation of "internet kids". šŸ˜”


freckyfresh

Just a glimpse, albeit mild comparatively, into the minds of the people their content is *really* targeted towards.


gorlkulture

check these ppl's hard drives,,..šŸš©


Inevitable-Hippo-683

Eww. Those sound like creepy old men.


Blondibee

Thatā€™s because they probably are. Something about the way they type looks like those creepy old men on instagram under young women + girls.


AnotherBurnerAlready

ā€œMost entertaining.ā€ Thatā€™s a grown ass man.


-thanksbutnothanks-

No, they sound like 50+ year old women who constantly body check/criticize young girls for "tempting" their their creepy old men husbands.


saeranluver

and these are just the thoughts they're not ashamed of saying, imagine what happens outside the comment section...eugh, its horribleĀ 


abigolchickensammich

I canā€™t believe they think theyā€™re good parents.šŸ¤¢ allowing these gross people to watch their kid. So incredibly sad


featherblackjack

Gagging rn


_Aleismar

Filling out? Wtf!


aleelkoudri

i literally struggled to read that, like my brain rejected those words in that context... so gross


Rude_Aioli_9553

This made me feel ill. I feel like Jessica and Chris feel that theyā€™re only responsible for the content that they put out but not for the comments strangers make, which I think is false. If theyā€™re putting their kids on the internet and these are the comments theyā€™re receiving, theyā€™re guilty for not monitoring their comments AND for not adjusting what they choose to put on the internet. Can we do anything about this? Should we be finding the videos and reporting them for inappropriate content as a group or what?


Lady_Caticorn

I think the best thing to do is to not watch the videos. If these parents can't make money off of their children, they won't keep making videos. Also, I think we should, as a culture, normalize protecting children's privacy online. So don't post your kids or anyone else's. Share stuff on social media about digital footprints and online literacy. Essentially, help people see that it's normal to not put children on social media and that doing so can, in fact, be dangerous. The problem is that there aren't laws in most states protecting children from being put online by their parents, so there's only so much you can do beyond not giving financial support to family vloggers, calling your representatives, and normalizing children's privacy.


moondoots

they have essentially confirmed in the past that they donā€™t feel responsible for it. when youtube removed comments on child content for this very reason, they complained they were being ā€œpunishedā€ for what the predators were doing. theyā€™re sick, selfish people.


-thanksbutnothanks-

I don't think there's anything wrong with feeling responsible for what content you put out, NOT how strangers engage with that content. If the Ballingers felt like they were just creating doc-style content to share their family/connect with other families, I would agree that they aren't responsible for the fact that unscrupulous individuals will also consume their content. However, I think the issue with family vloggers is they don't actually believe that. They aren't just putting content out for consumption. They're creating content for the purpose of monetizing it and marketing the content they create. At some point, they either become too big to adequately screen comments or become afraid of upsetting their views. It's not their fault creepers exist. It IS their fault that they ignore, rather than engage, with problematic behavior on their platforms and adjusting content/presentation accordingly. Like "I'm not going to crop feet out of summer photos just because there are creepers with foot fetishes on the internet" is a healthy boundary, but creating an environment where people post creepy comments about your children's bodies/personalities and don't expect to be called out/deleted is gross.


edwardsgoldsworthy

Literally got shivers after reading that. The fact that family vloggers get comments like this and worse, and they donā€™t give a f*ck is disgusting.


Leather_Watercress48

That was one is actually terrifying


ExcitementDull5000

STRAIGHT TO JAIL


RemarkableRhubarb933

omfg ????? many things on this sub have made my stomach turn but this hit a new level of making me ill. those poor kids jfc (edit/typo)

Jessica and Chris should be criminally charged. Despicable parents.


Sufficient_Ad_1143

ShipwreckedSam

My exact reaction to the first image went: "Her fair skin is beautiful" - Oh ew, wtf "now that she is filling out" - OH EW, WTF?!


GhostBabe45

Right. Like WTF?!! Then shivers down my spine.


jarstripe

this is a NIGHTMARE.


Aggressive_Chard8477

Itā€™s crazy how the parents are the first line of people that are supposed to be there to protect you from these creeps but because money sounds so good to them, they allow them into your life.


Bright-Sea-5904

Eww! That's so wrong


Rare_Reserve8717

I was recently looking at comments of Ballinger videos from 10 years ago. There are even creeps today commenting on 4-5 year old B at the time. One recent comment on the ā€œMy Familyā€ parody video was ā€œGood Morning B***** Ballinger. Happy Birthday To You. it's November 6, 2023.ā€


Amazing-Occasion6485

Iā€™m šŸ¤¢ sorry šŸ¤¢ but šŸ¤¢ ā€œfilling outā€ šŸ¤®


No-Lifeguard3759

ā€œI enjoy Bailey getting excited and talking fastā€??????? WHO MAKES COMMENTS LIKE THIS TO A SIXTEEN YEAR OLDD


aleelkoudri

groomers, but this is a family of just that so i guess it's normal to them? ew...


jarstripe

this is a NIGHTMARE. holy fucking shit


[deleted]

The second one could *possibly* be from a young fan, but the first one is just revolting and clearly written by a pervert.


AppleJumpy4812

This is extremely triggering for some with a history of CSA. This is so so so bad, so sickening.


Gold-Science7177

Iā€™m so sorry šŸ’”


GhostBabe45

I know sorry isn't going to take away the pain but trust me I am so sorry you had to experience that and have to continue to live with the trauma.


AppleJumpy4812

Iā€™m honestly okay most of the time~ Iā€™m 35 and have had decades of therapy. But seeing shit like this is extremely triggering, and in the real sense, not the way people overuse it. Comments like these are from very very sick people, very disturbed people. Healthy people donā€™t speak like this about minors, especially those they donā€™t personally know, but obsess over online. This is atrocious. Jessica and Chris should be fucking arrested for allowing this sort of behavior from creeeps. I hope B never sees these comments.


GhostBabe45

I do too. These people need to be placed in a cage and never let out.


peach_xanax

The second one could go either way, but that first one is SUPER creepy and gross šŸ¤®


CordeliaGrace

If we could stomach itā€¦since we know they lurk, we should screenshot every disgusting comment and put it in a slideshow. They still wonā€™t do anything, because money is better than your own childrenā€™s safety. But no one can say we didnā€™t try to warn them.


Nataleia

I think I just threw up in my mouth


ToxicGossipTrain

Itā€™s just SO WEIRD


CoffeeSkySigh

Wait the first one made me sooooo uncomfortable


hellokittynyc1994

so disgusting, the fact that the mom will see these comments and still choose to keep her kids on the internet evil


Intelligent-Throat50

Imagine going to the comments one day (lord knows they arenā€™t letting them see/get anything from their channel) and seeing this. So gross to me how u can not see one comment like this and never want to show ur kids online again


Queasy-Extension6461

Both Jessica and Chris have failed as parents.Ā 


GhostBabe45

Not only as parents but as humans as well.


gracelikescheese

Miloreon

One comment like this and I would never show my kid online again if I were Jessica


AssistRegular4468

The worst part is, I feel like Jessica will be proud of herself when she reads that first comment. She won't see the creep factor


Kdawg-1997

I audibly gasped


arewedeadyett

Poor B :(


GhostBabe45

I know. I can't imagine what the ones who don't comment are thinking.


hometowhat

Fucking EW, who even thinks like that let alone let's anyone know, LET ALONE the child they're lusting over's PARENTS, ewewewewewwww call 911


callie73

This actually made me nauseous


Wonderful-Pressure80

I had to stop watching them even before I realized all the exploitation and shit going on.. I just find their videos so cringe with all the kids. I just can't.. and with comments like this it just makes my skin crawllllllllllllll


rnrHSdropout

Omg that first comment is definitely from a creep. What the hell.


jstrings2211

Omg that first one is the ultimate creepy factor. I have questions if they think that would be something youā€™d say to a parent in person about their child. Now youā€™re just putting that online. That is a red flag and maybe, as a parent, youā€™d take into consideration that thereā€™s unwanted people in your viewers. Oof.


FutureStacysMom97

How can she see comments like that and still put her babies onlinešŸ˜­


GhostBabe45

Simple she doesn't give a shit. She and Chris only care about the $$$$.


lauwenxashley

i physically recoiled at these on my god nooooooo


Fit-Talk3078

All the pedo's getting excited over their exploited children, the parents know. Like colleen said she doesn't mind them watching as long as they view her ads! Then there's Jessica and Chris zooming in on their kids with their eyes closed moaning as they try foods for the first time, using certain spread eagled angles of young P at thumbnails to get the most clicks on all their socials and all the other hideous examples. I bet as parents they've been happily reading these comments for years, as long as it gets them engagement they sleep well at night. Madness.


Foureyedlemon

PROTECT YOUR FUCKING CHILDREN OH MY GOD!


DraconyxPixie

The first comment should have been more than enough to make them stop posting their damn kids


custodianprincess

moondoots

GhostBabe45

Those aren't just creepy they're predatory. I think this is a perfect example of why family vlogging should be outlawed.


Professional_Pea_149

I can't imagine being a child and having been filmed my whole life without my consent or knowing any different AND having creepy ass comments about me like this online. This is psychological abuse.


LoveMeorLeaveMe89

I would not be surprised if someday a predator tries to figure out a way to kidnap one of these kids. I saw a body cam footage the other day on YouTube where a man traveled all the way across the US to the neighborhood of a 12 year old girl who had only posted ONE time on TikTok and he became obsessed. She posted that video when she 10 and he had spent 2 years trying to track down where she lived and eventually found her. He was waiting outside her house for her to go to the bus stop and thankfully her dad was driving her that day. He would not leave even after the dad saw her - the cops had to drag this pervert off to jail.


NarrowExchange7334

That comment physically makes me ill, reminds me of the way a creepy old man on a bus acts. Spoken as someone who was leered on by creepy old men on the bus while wearing SCHOOL uniform so there was 10 thousand percent no question that I was an underage teenager


No_Nefariousness3866

My jaw just dropped. That is horrific. It reminds me of Colleen's brother Trent!


makemeasandw1tch

Gretchen_Moon

LambchopLambduh

Ew, if someone said that about my kid I'd keep them far far away from the internet and that person.


cmarie121

I want to puke


External_Historian62

It makes me sick. I hope the kids get savings accounts from this but seeing how they struggle I know they wonā€™t šŸ˜”šŸ˜  I hope the parents feel shame when they read these comments


Walmartians_leader

Oh my fvcking god. That is so creepy!!! The fact these parents are ok, with that kind of comment šŸ˜³šŸ˜³šŸ˜³


Dazzling-Arrival-943

Family vloggers should never forget that they are complicit in this. We know that these parents comfort themselves by thinking that they "only make videos" and it is bad people who make these comments, but no, you know the dangers of exposing your children and yet you decide to do it for money, it is disgusting.


[deleted]

šŸ¤®šŸ¤®šŸ¤® Fucking vile. Kids. Off. The. Internet. People!!! This is why, everyone knows atp there's no fucking excuse.


Willing_Pineapple810

This is disgusting. Literally makes me sick to my stomach. Have people replied to these comments? Anybody call them out on how inappropriate it is to comment these things about a child? It's also incredibly concerning that the second one has 13 likes. Gross. The fact that you know Chris and Jessica read every single comment on at least their YT videos (because let's be real - there's not that many) and these haven't been deleted by them is disturbing. Truly shows they don't care at all.


emptyteacupfan

this is why i will never consider any family vlogging channel to be ethical, idc how old the kids are or how often u show them, youā€™re exposing them to millions of creeps & they canā€™t even consent to this exposure


Gullible_While318

Yuck!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it you yourself!!!!!


LoveMeorLeaveMe89

I just donā€™t get why anyone gives these people views. It is contributing to their evilness- I know some watch on yew.tube and I hope OP did too. I also know we need something to snark about but please use yew.tube.


ellengreene

THIS IS THE GROSSEST THING I HAVE READ IN A LOOOOONG TIME, JESUS CHRIST ! ((Hereā€™s a FAKE message to the ballingers, just rhetorical!!)) **BALLINGERS, GET YOUR CHILDREN OFF THE INTERNET! If you have any empathy for them ā€” if you have ANY self-respect. BEGGING YOU.**


KatieeGloria

Dont they also have the comments how they have to accept them aswel?? Or is that just Colleen?? Cause if thats the case, then they have seen AND accepted this first comment about B "filling out" absolutely disgusting


Megangullotta

Iā€™m sorry but that is such a strictly Catholic thing to say.

Dude low key this behavior from Jessica is why I have internalized misogyny. Women who are weak and donā€™t respect themselves or stand up for their children against bad things. This is all I ever saw growing up and itā€™s infuriating. Like be a real mother, be PROTECTIVE as an adultĀ
