Why is it unethical?
Celebrity children are just children at the end of the day. Yes, the children live these lavish lives and are kin to some of the most fascinating people in the world. However, they didn’t sign up to be bombarded and harassed by paparazzi.
IT IS UNETHICAL TO TORMENT CHILDREN FOR OUR ON CURIOUS ENTERTAINMENT. Slide5

Public Embarrassment
The drastic harassment that these kids face at such a young age is immoral. One can only imagine what it is like to constantly be watched and followed. What is even worse is that these kids are judged by so many people. Imagine being judged in News Articles that are posted on covers of magazines and headlines for world wide News websites. These kids are not even of age to drive yet or fully able to talk and they are seen by “every-day-people” as being freak shows and treated as circus animals. Slide7

TOO
FAR!Slide8
Anti-paparazzi law
Passed on January 1, 2014, the State of California has tried to protect celebrity children. Celebrity Jennifer Garner
was
heavily involved in supporting the bill. She felt that celebrities chose the life of Fame not their children. Quoted by Fox News on her appearance at the California Legislature in 2013, “Literally
everyday there are as many as 15 cars of photographers waiting outside our home," she testified. "In the course of our ordinary day — trips to school, pediatrician, ballet, or the grocery store — paparazzi swarm. Large aggressive men swarm us causing a mob scene, yelling, jockeying for a position, crowding around the kids
.”
The law states that it is illegal to photograph a child of a high profile figure in a manner that “seriously alarms, annoys, torments or terrorizes”
children, fines
to up to $10,000 could result in jail
time.

Common Ground
Though the law was passed, famous children are still stalked and photographed. However, there is a bit of decline. Celebrity news sources like People and Entertainment Tonight have publically acknowledged they are following the rules. I feel the true common ground would be for the paparazzi to ask for permission to take pictures. That way the family is respected and the paparazzi could still get amazing photos. Also, what is posted on social media sites is also fair game. Therefore, the pictures of celebrity children posted on their social media sites is okay. Slide10
