The mother, made famous by her blog ’17 Diapers’, is reportedly under investigation following a viral video which features an interaction between her son and his father. During the interaction, the boy appears to flinch.
The issue came to light after a video, displaying an interaction between the child and his father, was shared widely across various social media platforms. Millions of viewers expressed concern after observing the child’s seemingly fearful response to his father’s presence.
Austin authorities have confirmed that the matter is indeed under investigation. “We’re aware of the situation and an investigation is currently underway,” confirmed a representative from the Austin Neighborhood Services Department. “We are obliged to protect the privacy of those involved, therefore we cannot disclose any further details at this point.”
The mother, renowned writer of the popular parenting blog ’17 Diapers’, has yet to publicly comment on the situation. Her blog, which focuses mainly on her experience as a parent to seventeen children, reaches millions of readers around the world.
The video in question has ignited a firestorm of public commentary on social media, with many viewers voicing their concern over the perceived fear demonstrated by the child. Some have gone as far as to call for an end to the popular blog, linking it with potential mistreatment.
While the investigation is ongoing, it is clear that this situation has shone a light on the impact of viral content and the potential it has to lead to official investigations. With millions watching online, this incident is a stark reminder of the responsibilities held by public figures, particularly when it comes to their private interactions.
