awareness...

There seems to be a trend within the special needs community online

and it really bothers me.

I see parents filming their children at their worst and sharing it on social media

or getting online and talking about it to the open world of Facebook.

Here is the thing that bothers me most about this;

It totally disrespects the child's privacy.

Would you want someone filming you falling apart?

Filming you just when you are at your lowest and then sharing it with the world?

I get it, parents need/want support.

There is nothing wrong with that need

but there is something 

SO

totally wrong about exploiting your child in order

to fill that need/want.

Venting to a few trusted people

is perfectly fine...

Sharing your child's struggles with the world

not... so... much....

Parents, please think before you raise "awareness" at your child's 

expense.
