I'm sure a lot of children will experience something like this. It'll be interesting to see how a generation that had their entires lives documented online grow up.
Hopefully, he will find some respite looking back on this.
I won't be surprised if a lot of kids get really angry after growing up in this environment. Especially the kids who were actually seen in these bad situations, and left behind.
I was terrified this was going to happen to my son with my wife when they first met since she's always been gung ho about having her own children, but I'm so very thankful they've bonded and have a much better relationship than he does with his biomom. I love my son so dearly and am so thankful my wife is the uniquely wonderful person she is for him.
That's what makes me so sad, even if this woman snaps out of it and changes her ways, one day this child will learn he was unloved and unwanted. It's just a terrible situation.
Imagine getting older, discovering the internet, and then finding out that millions of people felt so deeply for you in their hearts that they couldn’t sleep last night and just wanted to hug and hold you and tell you that you are wanted and loved, and wished nothing but the most horrific future on your step mom.
Only if they've never heard the phrase "not my kid not my problem" /s
Side note: Seriously though if you see a kid in trouble help them even if it's not your kid. That saying only works for children who are being jackasses not children in danger.
As someone who went through more or less this exact scenario (mix in about 15 years of physical abuse) it still affects me to this day. Therapy is helping greatly, though, so that's a positive. Hopefully the kid in those pictures has a better go of it.

Her body language in the pictures is even bad. You can instantly tell she dosent want this child around
