Using one’s kid as a prop in one’s influencer videos is not an issue of subsistence. The Coogan Act or some new version should definitely be applied here. Even then, it’s only a financial remedy – bad parents (e.g. the narcissists and greedheads who typically become professional social media “influencers”) can severely screw up a child by forcing them into showbiz.
I was briefly acquainted with an '80s child mega-star in high school – nice fellow but the poor guy had zero idea how to interact with peers his own age (and despite the existence of the Coogan Act his parents also stole all the money he earned).
This seems like a campaign that Wil Wheaton could promote. He’s been open about his parents being abusive and greedy jerks and he has solid opinions on the damage social media does.
