"Shock" videos

Mui has every right to feel angry when she discovered her image was stolen and used in a “shock” video on YouTube. It reminded her, she said, of when she was cyberbullied.

Our daughter has not been raised to be a source of entertainment for weak-minded people.

It is, at the very least, frustrating.

The more Mui, we and others raise awareness, the more mainstream and less sensational “difference” will become. And more people will treat Mui like a human being rather than as an object of idle entertainment.

The tide is turning. People are much more willing to speak out against this sort of weak-minded exploitation than when Mui was a baby.

Your support is key.

Please help us raise awareness by signing our petition: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/end-shock-videos/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=button

Is it fanciful to hope to change attitudes?

In the 1970s the “N” word and racist jokes were not at all uncommon on children’s television... as a source of entertainment. Raising awareness has helped change that.

That's really insensitive of them to make fun of a person because she looks different. Maybe it would be better if they would just draw inspiration from her. If I were you, I would really look for the one who created the video and I would file a lawsuit against him. Anyway, I admire Mui because she's such a strong girl. She manages to live her life to the fullest despite of challenges that she faces. I hope the video will be taken down immediately.

Hi.
Thanks for taking the time to write. Sadly such insensitivity is a regular thing. It is why we have shared our story.
While there will always be prejudice, we raise awareness to challenge the attitudes of those who witness it. If they step forward to offer help rather than turn away and “enable” it, we will have made a difference.
Best
Rog
