Parents are exposing their children to predators, cyber risks, bullying, and identity theft, along with lifelong stress and anxiety through constant social media posts. This collage reveals the unseen consequences: strangers saving images, digital footprints beyond control, and children navigating a digital world where their lives were shared without consent. As adults, they battle digital addiction, anxiety, and identity struggles, shaped by the digital footprint their parents built for them.
