My opinion on the Sophie Long case

So I just need to vent that this “stand with Sophie” thing is bothering me. Not only because of the obvious heartbreakingness, the poor girl, but because I personally do not think every person should be sharing that video due to her own privacy. Yes I think it’s great she has so many people who care about her and want to make sure she’s safe. I get seeing that video of her screaming and crying about having to go with her mom is heartbreaking and makes you just want to jump through the screen to save her.

HOWEVER. This is a 9 year old who’s personal life/abuse by her own mother is being shared and broadcasted to people all over the world. In a few years she will be a teen, likely with social media and be horrified to realize how many people/strangers, know about what she went through as a child.

I just think those videos showing her clearly terrified and literally talking about the abuse that was happening, were quite clear evidence enough to take to the police or a judge and cut off her mother from seeing her. I just feel like it’s a little irresponsible on the dad to exploit her like that🤷‍♀️ just my opinion. It should be shared to the police not Facebook. Unless I’m missing something. If I’m not I really think people need to stop sharing the video.
