Parents across America have been having the time of their lives by trying one of the one-off special Halloween filters on their small children and seeing how they react, and it is safe to say the little ones were NOT happy.

I've been seeing tweets like this all week. Adults – parents – traumatising children with this spider filter, then posting it on the internet for laughs. But it isn't funny. It is sick. It is abuse. https://t.co/dlBMMcMOaR
