About this listen
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
In June 2009, more than ten million people watched a marriage end on television. Eight young children lived in that house.
Their first steps, tantrums and worst days were filmed, edited and sold to advertisers. Child actors had been protected by law since 1939. For decades, children on reality TV had no such protection.

Raised on Camera is the true story of a generation who grew up as content, told from the public record: court cases, state investigations, new laws and the children's own words, now that they're old enough to speak.

Inside, you'll discover:
• The boy who lost a fortune: how Jackie Coogan's empty bank account created Hollywood's first child actor law
• The first reality family: the Louds, filmed for seven months in 1971
• Jon & Kate Plus 8: the state investigation that found the children should have had work permits
• The Duggars, Honey Boo Boo and Dance Moms: what the children said years later about the money and the pressure
• When parents became producers: family vloggers, from the DaddyOFive case to the 8 Passengers convictions in Utah
• The Squad lawsuit: eleven young YouTubers, serious allegations and a $1.85 million settlement
• The law finally catching up: France, Illinois, California, Minnesota and Utah, and the gaps still wide open

Each chapter includes What the Record Shows, separating what has been proven from what has only been alleged.
Fair, carefully sourced and made for listening, this book is for anyone who ever watched these shows, and every parent who has ever pressed record.

Press play, and hear the stories the cameras missed.
