Ban parents from using their children to create social media content

What the petition asks
We want the government to bring in legislation to protect children used by parents for content creation. We think this could protect them from abuse, exploitation and exposure to paedophiles.
We think some parents are clearly exploiting their children for financial benefit and using inappropriate photos of them on video thumbnails most likely to gain views.
