Tori Bates Slammed: Fans Call Out ‘Dangerous’ Parenting In New Video….”Is The Baby Okay?”
The typically private life of Tori (Bates) Smith has been thrust into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. The Bringing Up Bates star is facing a massive wave of backlash after posting a chaotic video that fans are calling “negligent” and “terrifying.” The footage, intended to be a cute glimpse into her life with five young children, sparked immediate outrage after eagle-eyed followers spotted a dangerous safety hazard lurking in the background.
The drama unfolded yesterday when Tori uploaded an Instagram Story promoting a kitchen product. But while she was talking to the camera, viewers were horrified to see her toddler climbing onto a counter just inches away from a boiling pot on the stove.
“Put The Phone Down!”
The comment section exploded within minutes, with fans begging Tori to stop filming and grab her child.
“My heart stopped watching this,” one top comment read. “She is so focused on the sponsorship that she doesn’t see her baby about to burn themselves! This is dangerous parenting, plain and simple.”
“This is what happens when you have too many kids to supervise,” another critic wrote. “She has her back turned to a toddler near a hot stove. It takes one second for a tragedy to happen.”
The Video Disappears
Tori, who is known for being less active on social media than her sisters, seemingly realized the error and deleted the video less than an hour after posting. However, screenshots of the “near miss” had already circulated on Reddit, fueling a fierce debate about child safety in the Smith home.
Critics are using the incident to argue that Tori and Bobby are “overwhelmed” by their rapidly growing family. With five children born in quick succession, fans have long worried that the older kids are being forced to parent themselves—or worse, are being left unsupervised in dangerous situations.
Fans Defend “Real Mom Life”
Despite the “slamming,” a loyal group of followers is defending the reality star, calling the backlash an overreaction.
“Moms aren’t perfect,” a supporter argued. “Toddlers are fast. She deleted it because she probably felt bad enough. Stop shaming her for a split-second mistake that happens to everyone.”
As of now, Tori has gone silent on social media, likely retreating to avoid the “mom-shaming” mob that is currently dissecting her parenting skills.
