          That kid is going to be so extremely traumatized and maladapted by the time he’s even 12. I can’t even begin to comprehend the psychological effects that this level of exploitation at such a young age would bring. It does seem like all harmless family friendly fun, but I doubt the scene when the camera isn’t rolling is very healthy. This kid is getting used by a prop by his caretakers to essentially print money.

          I just hope that he might at least see a small portion of what he’s earned so that he can recover well and not be to impacted by this further down in his future.
