Background

We want the government to bring in legislation to protect children used by parents for content creation. We think this could protect them from abuse, exploitation and exposure to paedophiles.

Additional details

We think some parents are clearly exploiting their children for financial benefit and using inappropriate photos of them on video thumbnails most likely to gain views.
