TikTok is FULL of videos of parents making their kids cry "for a laugh" and filming it for likes.
It reminds me of the "daddyoffive" thing on YouTube where the whole family (Dad, step mum and some of the older kids) were basically bullying and tormenting one of the younger ones constantly for likes and views. YouTube community got together and reported them to local authorities and him and his sister were removed and full custody given to their bio mum.

The below is a quote from "Daddyofive" himself aftrerwards - which I think says it all.
“It started out as family fun,” Mike Martin said, noting that the star power of YouTube views made him want to keep making videos. “It started with me and my kids, but then it was just about making a video and then making the next video more crazier than the next.”
