As a dedicated TikTok viewer, I am exceedingly concerned by the repeated mistreatment and exploitation of children exhibited by the user known as Resilient Jenkins. Plainly seen in her content, Jenkins exposes a fundamental disregard for her children's well-being, parading their lack of necessities as entertainment for her followers, which is beyond disturbing. Despite earning income from TikTok, she continues to neglect her children's fundamental needs, with visible evidence of them living in poor sanitary conditions and sleeping on the floor.

Adding insult to injury, Resilient Jenkins also appears to propagate false narratives regarding domestic violence, belittling actual victims and using such serious actions as mere tools for garnering views and monetary benefits. This is highly offensive and undermines the struggle that countless individuals face every day. Citing NIH data, around 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have experienced physical violence from a partner in their lifetime. Making light of this issue for profit is highly unethical and unacceptable.

Moreover, the fact that her children have been shown to have lice—a parasitic infection that should be promptly and effectively dealt with—only serves to underline the gross negligence on Jenkins' part. According to CDC reports, an estimated 6-12 million children aged 3-11 get infested with head lice every year in the U.S. This is a fairly common issue, but the ongoing neglect to treat it responsibly is a grave concern.

It is deeply unsettling that such content is promoted on a platform like TikTok, whose community guidelines clearly prohibit content that harasses, defames, or spoofs others to intentionally cause harm. Hence, we urgently request that TikTok to take immediate action and remove this user from its platform in order to safeguard the children involved and uphold the principle of community responsibility. Let's banish neglect and exploitation from our feed. Sign the petition today.
