<blockquote><p>“I don’t understand how putting your toddler in an uncomfortable position is funny and then posting it for views. Not only did you not just do this for your own entertainment, you thought this was going to be everybody’s entertainment,&#8221; @auntkaren0 wrote.</p></blockquote>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Critics Slam Mom For Viral Video And Follow-Up Apology: &#8216;That Baby Appeared Scared&#8217;</h3>
<p>The apology video was not all well-received, with other users criticizing Glembin for saying Gunner was not in harm&#8217;s way when the clip was filmed. One commenter said the boy &#8220;appeared scared&#8221; and &#8220;looks like he&#8217;s been crying,&#8221; countering Glembin&#8217;s claim that the boy was laughing and smiling.</p>
<blockquote><p>“I’m confused because you say he was smiling and happy, but he looks like he’s been crying and is exhausted???” one user wrote. Another said, “That baby had some glossy eyes, appeared scared and for DCFS to take the child for that video alone surprises me. I think there is more to this story.”</p></blockquote>

<p>Other commenters weren&#8217;t as harsh on Glembin, telling her this is a lesson for her to learn from, and the &#8220;sometimes life comes with hard lessons&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>“Sometimes life comes with hard lessons. He won’t be taken away forever, but this was a lesson that needed to be learned. That wasn’t okay,” one TikTok user wrote.</p></blockquote>
<p>Glembin added that she has considered turning her TikTok page private after the inundation of hate messages and comments she&#8217;s received in the wake of the video and CPS intervention. She also revealed that she doesn&#8217;t make money off of her videos, and therefore didn&#8217;t profit from the controversial video in question.</p>
