Instamoms

“It’s like a candy store 😍😍😍” That’s the way one pedophile described Instagram in a private messaging channel monitored by New York Times reporters. In the Sunday edition of the paper this week, the Times unveiled its month-long investigation into mothers who run Instagram accounts for their young daughters — and the grown men who love them for it. These women are known colloquially as the “Instamoms.”  Instamoms are the online version of pageant or stage moms. Their daughters are usually enrolled in traditionally feminine extracurriculars, like dance, gymnastics or cheer, but the activities are ultimately just a vehicle for the true goal: making their girls rich and famous.
