KidWatch › Channel Safety › Gabi_DeMartino
This channel is built for young girls but regularly models rule-breaking, materialism, and risky behavior without much self-awareness about the message it's sending.
Best for ages 16+
Gabi DeMartino is a bubbly, high-energy lifestyle vlogger who mixes hauls, challenges, and personal storytelling into a very girly, pastel-tinted package. She's clearly good at building a connection with her audience and she talks to viewers like they're her best friends. That warmth is genuinely appealing, especially to tweens and teens.

KidWatch Assessment
Gabi DeMartino is a bubbly, high-energy lifestyle vlogger who mixes hauls, challenges, and personal storytelling into a very girly, pastel-tinted package. She's clearly good at building a connection with her audience and she talks to viewers like they're her best friends. That warmth is genuinely appealing, especially to tweens and teens.
The problem is what gets normalized along the way. She treats trespassing and rule-bending as fun content, drops casual profanity without much thought, and spends thousands at luxury brands while framing it as relatable. There's a real "being young and rich" identity running through the channel that can feel alienating or aspirationally unhealthy for younger viewers.
She does get personal sometimes, sharing emotionally heavy stories about past relationships that involve pressure, regret, and manipulation. Those moments aren't handled with any real care or guidance. Put it all together and this channel skews older than its aesthetic suggests.
Flagged Moments from Top Videos
Gabi and her friend deliberately enter a school building after hours, discuss breaking in if the doors are locked, and frame trespassing as exciting fun. The whole premise treats illegal activity as a prank.
The challenge involves deliberately evading store staff and hiding inside a retail store overnight, which normalizes deception and trespassing under the framing of a fun trend.
The video title and framing center a "young and rich" identity as something to defend, with luxury spending presented as a personality trait and status marker rather than something unusual.
A sponsored perfume segment is embedded mid-vlog without clear separation, making it hard to distinguish paid promotion from personal content, which is a pattern across her channel.
Gabi shares a detailed story about being pressured into sexual activity at 15 by an older boyfriend. The account is raw and unfiltered, with no framing, resources, or guidance offered to viewers who may be in similar situations.
The story models deeply unhealthy relationship patterns, including staying with someone who is cheating, suppressing feelings to avoid being broken up with, and defining self-worth through romantic competition. These dynamics are described at length with no critical reflection.
The title and setup frame a service worker as a "hater," which models a dismissive, entitled attitude toward people in customer service roles.
Gabi casually mentions having her passport and ID ready as an exit strategy if caught, suggesting she was aware the activity was legally risky and planned around it rather than reconsidering.
What Parents Should Know
Watch a few videos yourself before letting younger teens dive in, because the vibe reads younger than the actual content.
Talk to your kid about the overnight challenge videos specifically, since breaking into locations is framed as harmless fun and kids can genuinely think that's okay to replicate.
Be aware that at least one video includes an unfiltered, detailed account of sexual pressure and a toxic relationship involving a 15-year-old, with no resources or guidance attached.
Point out the sponsored content when you see it together, because the ads blend into the vlogs in ways that make them hard to spot, especially for younger viewers.
Use the luxury haul content as a conversation starter about money, values, and the difference between someone's online persona and real life.
If your kid is under 15, consider this channel a skip for now and revisit when they're older and better equipped to think critically about what they're watching.
Recommended for ages 16+.
