Yolanthe Cabau is being under fire on the cover of the latest Story. She is almost portrayed as a bad mother. “She scores over her child’s back!”, It says big.
She has chosen to be at the center of attention again: Yolanthe Cabau. The actress has his own soap series on Netflix and a lot of people have comments on that. How to choose is it actually to have your 9-year-old son continuously figure in your real-life series? The Story Does not find it handy.
Over the back
The Story gives ample job to media education expert Freek Zwanenburg of Bureau Jeugd & Media to cut Yolanthe at the ankles. “We are very critical of that,” he says about the fact that son Xess Xava is in almost every scene. “A child does not make the choice to take place in public.”
He continues: “Yolanthe is scoring over her child’s back. I would like to advise her: do not put your child into the picture, because there are several risks to it. Her son is online and is therefore food for nasty people who can take his videos and photos. Pedos also fall under that.”
Vulnerable
That makes her child ‘vulnerable’, says Freek. “In puberty he becomes self -conscious and then realizes that he is pretty much on the internet from his diapers. That can cause a shock later in life.”
He continues: “Xess Xava now learns to look at himself from a camera spective at the age of 9, while he himself has to create his own personality. That can cause an identity problem. A child should not grow up with cameras around him.”
Safe place
Children need a ‘safe private space’ to grow up, says Free. “Xess Xava should not (…) not be forced to behave in front of the camera in a certain way.”
“As a result, he runs the risk of becoming a chameleon, is going to adapt to the cameras. Does he do the things he does from himself, or does he take into account how that comes across in his behavior?”
