The Skate Clip Got 200K and the Kid Got Grounded
I filmed a fourteen-year-old landing a trick he had worked on for months. Posted it. The clip blew up.
His mom saw it, realized he was skating the parking garage she told him not to use. He is grounded now. I am the reason.
Fame has a cost. Sometimes you pay it for someone else without asking permission. Documentary instinct says film the moment. Human instinct says maybe not every victory needs an audience of two hundred thousand.
I left the clip up. I also called his mom. Neither choice felt clean. That is the job when you point cameras at real kids.
