The parents don’t show Helen’s face on social media, and they choose to keep her off camera onHome Town. Erin recently opened up about those decisions, saying she and Ben are trying to protect Helen’s image until she is old enough to control it herself.
“We are the protectors of her image,” Erinwrote on her Instagram Storylast week. “Without Helen, our lives would be hollow and there would be nothing to share. She exists and we are proud of her. But her likeness is ours to protect and decide when it’s okay to share, no one else’s. That’s our personal choice, and it’s not the same for everyone.”

“We love and appreciate everyone who supports the show,” Erin added, “but Helen doesn’t owe anyone anything.”
“We say no to a lot of opportunities,” Erin said.
“For 18 years we get to be an influence in her life,” she added of her daughter. “I want those years to be really good and happy and healthy, because we can never get them back. No matter how great an opportunity or amount of money, nothing is worth missing out on memories together with Helen.”
