Family vlogging is a popular genre of online videos where parents and families document their daily lives, their moments, their kids, their milestones, etc. It gives families the opportunities to relate with each other, share what their lives are like, and earn money from videos. Back in the 2010s, family vlogging was popular when people didn't see it as exploitative but rather as wholesome and fun. In the 2020s, as more scandals arise, people began seeing it as exploitative because all these parents care about is money and fame. One popular example of a scandal is Ruby Franke, who was once known as America's mom and the 8 Passengers are considered the model family due to their Mormon beliefs and the image they hold as the perfect family. On August 30, 2023, she was arrested and charged with aggravated child abuse alongside her business partner and controversial Mormon therapist Jodi Hildebrant and Franke is permanently banned from YouTube. On February 20, 2024, she and Hildebrandt were convicted with 4 counts of aggravated child abuse and sentenced to 4-30 years in prison.

Former family vlogging kids like Shari Franke have now spoken out about the dangers of family vlogging, has been advocating and campaigning against family vlogging, and when she drafted HB322 on October 2024, she said that there is no moral or ethical family vlogger and that she is aware of people fighting that HB322 wouldn't pass. On March 2025, HB322 became a law in Utah. Other family vlogging kids have spoken out and former fans avd viewers have also spoken out.

According to a lot of studies, family vlogging has lasting effects on children, like anxiety, trauma, mental health issues, and conflicts with parents because family vloggers share kids meltdowns, tantrums, potty training, puberty talk, etc. Family vlogging and sharenting are also linked to predators saving and screenshotting photos and videos of children to look at, creep on them and say inappropriate things to them.

In some US states, there are laws protecting family vlogging kids but in the Philippines there are no laws protecting kids in family vlogs. There aren't laws protecting family vlogging kids and child influencers in the Philippines due to the fact that many Filipinos aren't aware of these kinds of issues that they should be advocating and be concerned about. Family vlogging is an issue all over the world, not just the western world.

In the Philippines, there aren't a lot of family vloggers due to the influences of the Catholic church where family vlogging isn't discouraged but not recommended. If there are laws like these in the Philippines, the exploitation of kids will stop and there will be extra measures for some disabilities. Many family vloggers in the Philippines have kids with disabilities and these family vloggers vlog to raide awareness and advocate for their kids' disability. It is considered as child exploitation disguised as awareness and advocacy because these parents claim to be the voice of their kids and they want to share what their life is like to have kids with disabilities.

There are family vloggers in the Philippines, but not as many as the US. Filipinos can still exploit their kids for views and money where all they do is use their kids for content.
