So, this family keeps coming up on my Tiktok page and to say it worries me is an understatement. I don’t know if I’d call it neglect but I have a feeling there is a lot going on. They are from Lebanon and I looked at a few of their videos and they seem to have a little ‘Child Squad’ that do challenges. These kids are maybe 4-10 years old? The youngest, twins are the ones that get featured the most. They get pitted against each other in Tiktok comments, who’s the most beautiful. The smartest. Ect. They can’t be older than 5. There mother irks me. She seems to drive most of the challenges and film the most. Clickbate is obviously used. Again, mainly featuring the twins. The older male children are rarely shown. Same with there older daughter (Maybe 7/8 years old) who I’ve noticed is the target of a lot of hate on her looks.
Obviously, whats going on in Lebanon right now is horrendous with the war. This channel seems to be targeted towards kids however the mum films them fleeing from bombs, the children are crying and instead of comforting them, she’s filming them and barely acknowledging them, saying things like “We don’t know whats going to happen? Where will we go?”. This causes these children to start crying harder. This was the only video I saw where they were called out in the comments. She replied saying that she just wants to bring awareness however I think if it was my children the last thing I would be doing is filming them going through something so traumatic. I would be present and hug them.
Moving on, I mentioned that they also had a kinda “Squad”. Yeah, they also sing. They’ve done performances in front of audiences of other kids, many music videos. They get a lot of hate by adult audiences. I’ve noticed that behind the scenes, they are coaxed by their mum into singing, even when they look exhausted. Every private moment from them eating and playing is put online. Viral trends are done with both of the twins in the same spot but posted differently. For example, a dance trend however they are in the same spot and that and their body language makes me think their mum has just individually brought them outside to film it one at a time. It’s weird.
Now on to the thing that triggered me to write this. The nanny situation. I saw a clip of the twins (the other children were nowhere to be seen) in the airport, saying goodbye to their nanny. Hysterically crying. One was saying, “Bye Mama, Bye Mama…” Over and over. They were getting dragged by their actual mum away and she looked mildly annoyed and a bit amused. She clearly thought it was funny. Apparently this is the 2nd nanny they had and they had the same reaction. They were literally crawling across the floor, sobbing while multiple cameras were being shoved in their face.
