Kids realizing they already have an online presence made by the people who were teaching them about being responsible about their online presence is becoming A Thing.

That Washington post author is quite the narcisstic scumbag. I feel disgusted reading the writing of someone so extremely self-absorbed.

  I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt that way. That article was horrifying.

  >> My daughter didn’t ask to have a writer for a mother, but that’s who I am. Amputating parts of my experience feels as abusive to our relationship as writing about her without any consideration for her feelings and privacy. This part got me. To me that article definitely makes it sound like she's a writer first, and mother second. I just hope her child grows up to be a better person than that, or I hope I'm misunderstanding that article.

  Hopefully her daughter pays it forward by becoming a writer who blogs about her experiences as the daughter of a sociopathic narcissist. "I can't stop writing about you mom. Your attempt to 'amputate parts of my experience' feels abusive to our relationship."

That's not far from doxxing or harrassment (from the child's point of view). Can those kids contact website support to have it all removed, or relatives accounts suspended? If a stranger posted about your kid, the consequences would be something else and of different magnitude.
