In the new docuseries Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing, the unregulated world of child influencers gets a harrowing spotlight courtesy of Netflix. The new true-crime series features the former collaborators of YouTube star Piper Rockelle, who rose to fame and amassed millions of views from her challenge videos featuring her "Squad" of friends.

In the words of one of the former members, Claire RockSmith, "Tiffany took our innocence and just destroyed it."
