  Kids aren't a protected minority or class in the sense you're talking about, they're a universal. Anyone in a minority or protected class group all have in common that they were once a kid. Rich poor gay straight everyone was a kid at one point.
context: It seems like you're taking something meant for fun a little too seriously. Parenting is hard and sometimes kids are fucking assholes. >
  
  The lack of explicit consent is what immediately jumps out at me. Often there are videos showing children being embarrassed and shamed for “public consumption”. I consider that to be a form of abuse. >
  
  Would you apply this same logic to any video of other people posted to reddit? >
  
  Yes. I would. I find a lot of content online questionable because people are often being recorded without their consent.
  There are in fact, in many places, laws against this.
  “ it is illegal for any person to secretly record an oral, telephonic, or electronic communication that other parties to the communication reasonably expect to be private. (18 U.S.C. § 2511.)”
  In fact! Some of the videos of children are taken in the home. Which means there should be a reasonable expectation that it be private.
  In truth, the rights of children… might be in violation. >

  Yes but you're extending that law beyond its meaning. It's very explicit when it says "reasonably expect privacy". Further, you're generally allowed to record whatever you want in public.

  Yeah that definitely does not hold up especially given the people can literally see them recording. 
  In truth, they definitely aren't. >
  
  Kids aren't a class of person. Everyone was or is a kid. Being a kid transcends culture and language and borders. It's one of the few universals. And an attribute of that universal is that sometimes if not often, kids are fucking stupid!
  It's not their fault they're stupid, they're learning their lessons. It's something everyone can relate to because we've all been in that ignorant position. >
  
  Have you considered that kids are, in fact, fucking stupid? >
  
  Replace “kids” with modern civil rights protected minorities/demographics, and see how long that comment lasts
