00:00It's Piper, go!
00:02Piper Raquel is an incredibly popular child influencer.
00:05This young lady has amassed more than 10 million followers on YouTube.
00:09Piper's mother, Tiffany Smith, is the momager.
00:12She took these kids to massive viral fame.
00:18It seemed so innocent, but it wasn't innocent at all.
00:25Tiffany finds people who want to be famous.
00:27She takes advantage of them.
00:30Things can get very muddy when kids are making an obscene amount of money.
00:35At her peak, Piper's earning between $300,000 and $500,000 a month.
00:40Young girls have very large numbers of adult men as followers.
00:47Tiffany would direct us to pose certain ways, hugging a certain way in a clip.
00:53Closer, closer, closer, closer.
00:54She would be like, over and over, sex sells, make it sexy.
00:58Smile, flirt with the camera.
00:59Here we go.
01:00Where's the line for Tiffany?
01:02I was 17 years old.
01:04We were on my live stream.
01:05Then the kiss happened.
01:06I woke up in the morning and it was gone.
01:10If someone could erase this from the internet, then what else could they get away with?
01:15Everything is controlled by Tiffany.
01:17We were filming like 10 to 15 videos a day.
01:19Okay, action.
01:20If you leave the squad, you're going to get blacklisted.
01:23She would start hate campaigns.
01:26It's like a cult or something.
01:27Like, you can't get out.
01:29You know all of the consequences of even just crossing her.
01:34Stop!
01:34You're not here the way she spoke to me!
01:36People should be asking themselves, is it really okay for my child's vulnerabilities to be displayed to random strangers?
01:44Hold yourself together!
01:45It doesn't matter what happened to us, as long as they got our own camera.
01:47I remember being so scared.
01:52It's not just these kids.
01:54There's so many others.
01:57And if something isn't done, these won't be the last kids.
