Lil Poopy Exploited?

It is the job of welfare officials or social workers to help children who are being abused or neglected. In the case of up and coming 9 year old rapper Lil Poopy he is being abused not in the typical way though. He is being forced into a role that he is not old enough for nor does he fully understand yet. His parents are still legally in charge of his actions and should be giving him a normal childhood and protecting his innocence but instead are allowing people to exploit their son. There is an argument for that Lil Poopy has talent and might be the one pushing his parents to let him rap and perhaps they are simply fostering their child’s gift but even if this is true he could still continue to rap and continue his growth into the possible career of his choice in a more age appropriate way for the time being. Even though Lil Poopy may be getting his innocence and childhood taken for him it is part of show business. All around the world there are children sometimes starting as babies that are forced into show business by their parents who just exploit them often for no reason other than they desire money and fame for themselves and are willing to essentially sell their children to do so. So yes the police might be taking appropriate actions but until they also check on all the other children who are in show business such as television shows and movies where they are supposed to act in many roles overly mature for their age or in situations they don’t even understand that are inappropriate, many child actors are actually too young to even see the movies they are in, it is unnecessary to check up on one child star who might be completely fine when there continue to be new ones everyday who should also be checked up on yet no one will.
