Dear KAD- I'm so happy you found your way here. Thank you for helping us see the light and realize this family is honest and forthcoming to a fault.honest momma wrote:Jane wrote:Hi there! I completely understand your feelings and concerns. Except from posting here, researching my concerns and even trying to contact them privately a long time ago (and being ignored). I have avoided taking any other action. However, I do not judge, in any way, others who have. I will speak for myself (although think this is true for most here) I do NOT want to ruin their lives. I'm concerned about their irreverence to rules and regulations, the privacy of their children and their unwillingness to follow some basic safety guidelines:Beauregard1 wrote:Most of the time I agree with everyone on this site. However, I think what you are doing regarding reporting them to Minky and to FB and possibly YouTube is wrong. I think it is fine to snark about their lack of parenting skills, their flamboyant lifestyle etc. to actively try to ruin their lives is wrong. No matter how stupid this family is, those girls don't deserve your actions. I thought there are rules that we are supposed to adhere to on this site.
For instance, the Gardners regularly film their FOUR 2 year olds standing up in shopping carts at Target and Costco. These shopping carts have legal mandates posted on them.
Check this: "Every year approximately 20,000 children under the age of 5 are injured from shopping carts and require emergency medical care. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, 74% of injuries from shopping carts which occurred to children under the age of 15 involved a head or neck injury. Of children under the age of five, 79% of the injuries involved the head or neck. The statistics were more severe for children under the age of 1 with 93% sustaining a head or neck injury. In some cases, the injuries were so severe as to result in the death of a child. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, in 2011 a three month old infant died when the shopping cart he was in hit a speed bump in the parking lot and his car seat fell off the cart. In 1994, a three year old boy died after standing up in the cart, causing the cart to tip over. The boy fell over backward and hit his head." http://www.injury-law-center.com/blog/2 ... ing-carts/
To me EVERY SINGLE VLOG With those quads standing up in shopping carts should be demonetized. I cannot believe one advertiser sponsored that content. It's my right to think and share that! I have half a mind to contact Target and Costco (haven't done it yet) and point out to them that these vloggers are showing their kids standing up in their carts and making money off it.
Minky either did or did not sponsor the giveaway and the Gardners either did or did not say Minky there is no grey area. People have the right, in my opinion to ask and share their process of discovery. It's either fraud or it isn't. The Gardners should just provide proof and people will move on.
I think people have every right to ask questions online about an online vlog. Vloggers put it all out there for the world - people have a right to question it. One of the reasons most people wouldn't vlog.
It's my sincere hope Tyson and Ashley realize that people asking about the validity of claims made by promoting businesses and public figures is within the right of the consumer. Just be honest, feed your kids right, follow safety guidelines.
If questioned, which people will do, then simply provide proof of your honesty and move on. No ruining should be involved.
I can be honest to every thing you posted but quite frankly I don't have the time. As of the minky " fraud" The garners bought the minky from the store for Christmas gifts and decided to do a giveaway with one. Tyson was in charge of the giveaway and had his employee pick a winner. When Ashley saw that the winner was someone she knew she was excited for that person. No fraud. But as you guys know everything I am surprised you didn't know that.
Sincerely,
A Former Hater
P.S. give me a flocking break. Take your Greedner loving self elsewhere.
