Enough is enough, after Kristen Bell's baby daughter gets targeted by "pedorazzi", "Veronica Mars" has had enough and took to twitter to blast media publications that takes pictures of celebrities' children.
Kristen Bell and her husband Dax Shepard are advocates in the fight against paparazzi taking pictures of celebrities' children without consent since the birth of their baby daughter, Lincoln. Now she's taking her cause one step further by declining to participate in interviews with media outlets that supports "pedorazzi".

Kristen Bell and husband Dax Shepard have turned to Twitter to urge their followers to stop purchasing said magazines, and she even tweeted, "I won't do interviews 4 entities that pay photogs to take pics of my baby anymore. I care more about my integrity & my values than my career."
Kristen Bell isn't the only celebrity mom that is fighting against the "pedorazzi". In August, Halle Berry and Jennifer Garner gave emotional testimonies in front of the Assembly Judiciary Committee at the California State Capitol.
"I love my kids," Garner said. "They're beautiful and sweet and innocent. And I don't want a gang of shouting, arguing, law-breaking photographers, who camp out everywhere we are, every day, to continue traumatizing my kids."
Halle Berry added that, while she is famous, she was speaking as a mother of "little innocent children who didn't ask to be celebrities."
"They didn't ask to be thrown into this game." Berry said. "We don't have a law in place to protect them from this."
Berry and Garner received a victory in September when California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill aimed at keeping paparazzi away from the children of celebrities. The bill included increased penalties from a maximum of six months in jail to a maximum of one year. Potential fines would increase to $10,000 from the current $1,000.
