Popular TikTok mum hits back after child therapist tears into video of her ‘using her crying child for views’

A YOUTUBER mum has defended her parenting after a video of her playing a viral prank on her son was slammed by a child therapist. Content creator Bramty Juliette posted footage of her drenching her son’s head with water to her 3.5 million TikTok followers under the caption ‘spraying my toddlers hair until he says something’.

When he did say something, she ignores his pleas for her to stop – even when he bursts into tears. Ryan Allen, who uses his expertise in parenting and child development to share educational content, saw the video and under the handle @preschooltherapy posted his reaction. Overlaying his reaction on her clip, he called out Bramty’s idea of entertaining others. He said: “This is an example of how we can have a good intention of being playful and fun with our kids and how it can turn problematic just like that – and for what? Social media views and likes.” Ryan, who is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) breaks down the video, highlighting the first time Bramty’s son reacts when he tells his mum “that’s a lot of spray”.

He said: “Benefit of the doubt, maybe it wasn’t direct enough and you missed it.” When Bramty’s son says “stop it”, Ryan says this was a direct request for her to stop. When her son begins to cry, Ryan points out he’s clearly upset and says her decision to continue the gag is teaching him his voice doesn’t matter. When Brumty’s son is clearly emotional and sad Ryan says: “Now we see helplessness.” Bramty also filmed the clip with her daughter. She’s seen dousing the youngster with water from a spray bottle as she winces and wipes the water from her eyes to her mum’s amusement. Presumably seeing some of the backlash, today Bramty took to Twitter to defend her actions. She said: “There’s been some reaction to a TikTok I posted a few weeks ago. It’s really not that deep. ALL my kids are LOVED, HAPPY AND HEALTHY.” Some of the harsh words directed her way delved into the long-term impacts of failing to respond to her son’s pleas. One preson said: “One of the worst things to me is this trend of using your children for likes/engagement. “Children are people. They deserve respect. Do you not understand what you’re doing to them? Total lack of trust and care.” Another said: “I truly hope she sees this and reconsiders her actions. I have no words as to how or why a mother would even be cool doing this to her child for some likes on social media.” Some came to her defence, saying they have no doubt her toddlers are well-cared for. One person commented: “People honestly have nothing to do and keep doing what ur doing because you have not done anything wrong queen.” Tiktok/@preschooltherapyAlex said this behaviour shows how a good intention of being playful can turn problematic[/caption] Tiktok/@preschooltherapyAs she shields herself from the water, her son is seen with his head and shirt soaked[/caption] Tiktok/@preschooltherapyAlex took a deeper look at what message this sends kids[/caption]
