The mother of a 14-year-old influencer in Brazil has taken drastic action and deleted her daughter’s social media accounts after calling TikTok and Instagram ‘unhealthy’.
Mother Fernanda Rocha Kanner has said she doesn’t want her daughter Valentina to judge herself on ‘online feedback’.
Valentina, known online as Nina Rios, had amassed 1.7 million followers on her TikTok and Instagram accounts.
Fernanda said a mother’s role was “not to be your friend”, but admitted that Valentina would probably only realize this in hindsight.
“I don’t think it’s healthy, even for an adult let alone a teenager, to base their self-discovery on online comments,” she said.

Fernanda told Fantastico: “It’s quite difficult for you to know who you are at 14,
“When there are two million you’ve never seen in your life thinking they know you, it’s even more dangerous. It’s easier to get lost.
Fernanda said she knew it was time to delete her daughter’s accounts “when I logged in I saw 30 identical selfies and little dances that anyone can do”.
She said of her decision: “Radical, yes. Also necessary.

Fernanda added that she didn’t want Valentina to “grow up believing she’s that character.”
“I don’t want her advertising flammable polyester clothing made in China. I don’t want my brilliant daughter doing her daily dances like a trained baboon.
“It’s a sad generation for whom that counts as fame.”
Fernanda explained that she received praise from other mothers for her actions, while other teenage girls described her as “possessive”.
Nina told Fantastico about her mother’s decision to delete her account: “I obviously wasn’t very happy. I got quite angry.
She no longer knows when – or if – she will return to social networks.
She told Fantastico, “I will choose. For now, I don’t want to. It will be something that will only annoy me and it will only make things worse.
