"that's it honey, now scream for the camera"
My exact thoughts as well. The two images together might be funny, but underneath is someone who used their hands to lock that door and then decided to take a picture of the crying girl instead of helping her out. That's fucked up.
Admittedly, "hey Janet, can you jump into the kitty crate and pretend to cry for a half a sec for views" is probably not the child abuse situation outlined above.
I fucking hate it but wr do have a generation of not even influencers, but casual social media parents looming for a funny angle to send their friends and social networks etc.
Assuming she's pretend crying. The shit I've seen from imfluencer-parents would not have me surprised this girl is actually crying.
And the effects on children raised like this is beginning to get studied:

Sure, but I'd also be unsurprised if the parents just asked the kid to pretend cry for clicks.
Edit: I dunno, just seems a wild jump to declare this photo could only happen through child abuse.
I consider both scenarios to be child abuse, albeit one is clearly worse than the other
