After Illinois passed the country’s first law protecting child influencers last week, a feeling of optimism swept over Sarah Adams.

For years, she and other advocates against child exploitation have warned about the dangers of sharing children’s lives on social media for profit. The law would ensure financial compensation for minors, defined as children under 16 years old, who are featured in vlogs, or video blogs.

While Adams is not based in the U.S., she and other activists who spoke with NBC News said they are excited by the news. They believe the legislation marks a precedent that could encourage similar action in states across the country.

“There is a lot of excitement that these conversations are not only being had, but that legislation is being enacted to protect the income that these kids are generating,” said Adams, a 38-year-old mother of two from Vancouver who calls out child exploitation online with her platform of more than 270,000 TikTok followers. “Because we need to be realistic: It’s the children that are generating the income for these families.”...

Abigail Zwerner, a Virginia first-grade teacher, has been informed by lawyers for the Newport News school board that she is only entitled to file a worker’s compensation claim because the injury she sustained when a six-year-old child shot her is a “workplace injury”. The board’s lawyers claim that being shot is simply a hazard of her occupation. James Graves, the president of the Newport News teachers union, told the Daily Press “This is not military, this is not the police department. This is an education system,” On Facebook, Graves posted more thoughts: “These lawyers have started a significant hurricane in our district by saying that being shot is part of what teachers signed up for.”....

so nice that the girls changed things. sadly hair is extremely politicized everywhere. and just 15 year ago relaxed hair (chemically straighten) was the norm. but than the natural hair movement happened and now its a huge generational divide. I will always be against relaxers because they double your risk of certain types of cancer. My first major act of teen rebellion was cutting off my relaxed hair with kitchen scissors when i was 15. I used to have constant oozing sores on my head from the relaxer. my mother was so pissed she called every family member to tell them i looked homeless. I told her I "was no longer conforming to the eurocentric patriarchy beauty standards" and she said "I dont know what that means, you look ridiculous". I have a 10000 hair stories, people coming up to me and petting me without saying a word, a BLACK boss making me cover my natural hair because i was trying to start locs, so much so that some of my Muslim customers assumed I was Muslim but I never denied it because that was too awkward, like 5 diffrent white toddlers have pointed to my hair and asked "whats that" back in my babysitting for rich people days.

like I said, I dont think your being creepy. I think you could have phrased that much differently friend.

This girl is incredibly beautiful

did not communicate your point.

oh yeah he sucked. he was the head manager and his dad was the owner. I think he was attracted to me because all my male coworkers kept saying he was, but he was so mean all the time to me in particular so idk. don't worry I no one besides him called me that, but it was super damaging to my young self esteem. I felt better by calling him a virgin and all my coworkers went "ooooooohhh" fun times (problematic to make fun of someone for being a virgin in retrospect I know). would you believe i left that workplace because he wouldn't do anything when a coworker was sexually harassing me?

we dont need to comment on the beauty of a 16 year old on an article about workplace discrimination. its just not neccesarry. it would still be discrimination is she wasn't beautiful or her hairstyle wasnt considered conventionally attractive. not implying your creepy just that we dont need to value women for their looks.

my white family members sing a racist version of brown eyed girl. loved it as a kid, and im pretty sure they took out the stuff about black people. I would make them sing it in a bar for my birthdays from like 4-8. it was pretty bad.

dancing. absolutely throwing ass. maxing the volume out on twerking that shit out. I have a lot of ptsd around exercise and gyms and dance never triggers it. I do it alone and look like a moron but I feel amazing and some weeks its the only way in getting my heart rate up. its half thrashing my body around. ive literally been losing weight (not a goal, im just trying not to be sedentary lately, I used to be in shape :( ) and my butt looks awesome!
