In response to the backlash, the mother lashed out angrily, defending her actions.
“So what? What business is it of yours?” she wrote.
“That’s my child. How does it concern you? If you don’t like it, don’t watch. I’ll raise my child however I want.”
She continued to express frustration, saying: “If you have an opinion, go have your own kid and mind your own business. Stop running your mouth. If you’re brave enough, say it to my face instead of hiding behind a screen.”
