Unborn Baby Profile Already Has 125K Instagram Followers

According to Mashable, an article in The New York Times approached a family of Instagram influencers, "introducing" the newest member, who - amazing! - not even born yet. We are talking about the profile of Halston Blake Fisher, which is expected to be born this March, and already has 125, 000 followers.

The unborn Halston has a pair of identical two-year-old twin brothers who together have more than two million followers on the same social network. The children's father, Kyler Fisher, said he paid between $ 10, 000 and $ 20, 000 to sponsor the twins' publications.

The NYT referred to Halston's profile using the term “kidfluencer”. However, we cannot say that it exactly influences children. And that is the key point. It is not children who are following another child's profile, but adults.

The post announcing Halston's birth this March already has over 44, 000 likes.

NYT itself cited the six-year-old friends Ava and Everleigh's YouTube channel, whose subscriber age range is 25-44. It gets disturbing. This, excluding the fact of the lack of privacy that these children have to deal with. Parents, once the main protectors, now seem to have become the first to explore the image of their children.

On Facebook, it's very common for parents to abuse the exposure of their children's image, from newborn to pre-teen. Everyone, very proud, wants to show how beautiful and smart their children are. The children became practically a conquered good. It is as if it were a prize symbolizing that the possessor has achieved a great goal in life, such as a successful marriage, or in many cases only what is left of him: one or more heirs.

Here in Brazil, a famous recent case of child image exploration is Gabriela Abreu Severino, better known as MC Melody, born in São Paulo, who gained fame on YouTube at a very young age.

Much criticized on social networks, Melody's father, MC Belinho, defends himself, saying he forbids his daughter to date before turning 16. However, in her work as a singer, Melody always approaches lyrics where she speaks of love relationships as if she were already an adult woman, not to mention her look, which always appeals to sensuality. But the fact is that this is a 12 year old.
