There’s a Dangerous Epidemic Going on Among Young Parents.

And it’s not Covid. It’s young parents using their babies and toddlers in dangerous situations to get a laugh or many likes on Instagram. I find it to be bordering on child endangerment. For instance: A small baby getting licked in the mouth by a fawn, a toddler climbing precariously up onto his walker to see if he has good balance, and another toddler swinging in a dirty bucket that cattle feed out of.

Have these new parents every heard of germs? They shelter their children inside the home from the dirt in their yard yet allow them to do risky things on Instagram in order to get hits. Children should not be used by their parents for laughs or hits. I’m sorry, but I guess they’d consider me a prude but this is getting out of control. Everyday I’m seeing more and more risky videos of babies in precarious situations. A newborn baby being checked out up close by a German Shepherd. We all know German Shepherds have a tendency to bite for no reason.

Cats in cribs hugging newborns, cats biting toddlers for a laugh. Have they every heard of Cat Scratch disease? I just feel like these new parents never learned anything from their parents except maybe how to protest in the streets with signage. GenZrs were coddled in school with participation trophies, never disciplined, and this is the result using their own children at props? I can imagine how many toddlers end up in the ER that we never hear about. Classic one yesterday was a toddler with an electric shaver attempting to shave his little sister’s head and stopped by the mother. Who was filming it? The father, of course. These parents should have a visit by child protection agency. It’s not funny at all.

I’m on top of it on Instagram when I see a video like this. Of course, I get the usual STFU from their friends, but I don’t care. If one child can be saved from a bite in the face from a pit bull or a fall from a stupid prank set up by their parents, then I’ll continue to voice my concern. It’s an epidemic on TikTok too which I personally think should be shut down.

If these parents are trying to make a career posting videos on TikTok or Instagram, they are lazy to begin with. Nothing I say can help them as they were raised wrong. They should have gotten a real job in high school and worked their way up in the business world. But instead they have chosen to post videos in search of a laugh. So sad what our country is turning into. From risky selfies on the edge of a cliff to petting a killer whale under your row boat, have we all lost any form of commonsense in order to get the shot?
