’17 Diapers Mom’ Hannah Hiatt Controversy Explained
However, fast forward to present times, Hannah Hiatt is at the centre of a controversy, with netizens calling for the arrest of Hannah and her husband for neglecting the proper care of their kids and demanding CPS intervention.
Hannah Hiatt is a nurse by profession, and her latest videos have sparked concerns among netizens about the welfare of her kids and whether they are receiving proper parental care.
The genesis of the latest controversy can be traced to a video uploaded by Hannah Hiatt that showed the family in a grocery store.
In the video, Hannah’s husband can be seen approaching his son with an object.
However, the child’s reaction led many netizens to ask uncomfortable questions.
The child tried to hide his face, which was interpreted by many as a sign of fear and potential past trauma.
Netizens also revisited older videos of Hannah Hiatt, which showed James without food for long periods and how Hannah Hiatt refused to buy a warm coat for her son despite freezing temperatures in Utah.
Concerns for the couple’s children were further amplified by some disturbing instances from the past, including Hannah’s refusal to seek prenatal care during pregnancy, citing a lack of insurance.
Netizens also pointed out that James was often seen with bruises on his face and legs in Hiatt’s videos. All these factors have led to netizens demanding an investigation by Child Protective Services (CPS). A few have even called for the couple to be arrested for neglecting their children.
Hannah Hiatt has responded to the allegations, stating that the incident in the grocery store between her husband and her son was playful banter and nothing serious. However, netizens were not convinced by her explanation and continued their demand for a CPS investigation.
