Buchi particularly condemned parents who use their children’s Instagram pages to comment on their own posts, giving the impression that the comments are coming from the children.
He described the practice as disturbing, using a birthday post as an example where a parent could use the child’s account to write comments such as, “Happy birthday, mommy. You are the best mommy in the world. Thank you for all that you do.”
According to him, parents should not force their children into the public space simply to increase their followers or make them social media personalities.
“And may I just use this opportunity to express my utmost dislike for parents who are trying to make their children public figures by force. You're just trying so hard to amass followers for those children. You are a weirdo,” he said.
Buchi also described the practice as exploitative, warning parents about the risks of exposing children online, particularly amid the growing misuse of artificial intelligence and concerns surrounding child sexual exploitation.
“I actually find it very exploitative. And if you're not doing anything to protect your children's privacy in this day and age of AI and the abuse of AI and the rise of child pornography, you are not fit to be a parent. You are not fit to be a parent,” he stated.
His comments have sparked conversations about the growing trend of parents creating and managing social media accounts for their children, as well as the responsibility of parents to protect minors from the risks associated with online exposure.
