Police investigating Utah mom-fluencer after online uproar over video she posted of her son

Posting your whole life on line in an attempt to monetize it has some drawbacks, as many people on the internet turn out to be idiots. Mistakes made on both sides. Any lessons leaned, though?

The Utah mom influencer behind the viral "17 diapers" trend is being investigated by police after an internet uproar over a video that appeared to show her son flinching.

TikToker Hannah Hiatt, previously known online as Nurse Hannah, has since deleted the video, which was filmed in a grocery store and appeared to show her toddler startling and briefly hiding his face as his father walks up to him. As People Magazine reports, the video sparked hundreds of comments from people concerned for the boy's well-being.

She further explained that the video people are "freaking out about" shows James and his father playing, something she says they often do by scaring each other.

"Nothing is going on," Hiatt said tearfully.
