A woman out to prove how toxic parents can be on social media made her point by sharing a doctored image of her one-year-old drinking Dr. Pepper from a bottle. Ohio mother-of-two Britney Hampton [Miller], 25, went viral after she shared an image of her infant son Zander sucking soda from his bottle on Facebook, which later ended up on Reddit and Twitter where it drew even more criticism from judgmental parents. Hampton has claimed she received thousands of hate messages from people who believed the image was genuine, according to UK news service MakeTheHeadlines. She revealed the truth on her TikTok page, claiming the controversial photo was disseminated as a hilarious prank went wrong. My 1 year old loves Dr Pepper, its the only thing he will drink, she initially wrote in a private Facebook group for parents. But recently he has been having trouble going to sleep Ive tried putting about 3-4 tsp of melatonin in his last bottle before bed but that doesnt seem to be working, I do not want to give him any more than that, Hampton continued. She also pleaded for no harsh words or judging!

The backlash was so swift and widespread that Hampton decided to go public with the image which she had intended only for the private Facebook group. The only reason I then made the public post was because there were moms that had screenshotted my post and shared it on Reddit and Facebook, she told MakeTheHeadline. After I started getting bad comments, I publicly posted for everyone to see that it was just a horrible joke that went wrong. Hampton added, I felt obligated to make a post for my familys safety that it was just a joke, just in case someone thought it was real and felt the need to call Child Protection Services or look me up on Facebook. Some of the very nasty messages she received included one calling her a dumb fuck and an abusive parent. Several called for her children to be taken from her home. Said one, There needs to be some sort of licensing process and regular check-ins to be allowed to have kids. And another: This should be classed as child abuse and grounds for removal. She came forward with the disheartening ordeal in a Nov. 6 TikTok video, with over 315,000 views on the platform. I felt obligated to make a post stating that my son does not drink soda or is abused in any way, that this was all an experiment, she clarified. My son has never even had juice before as his father and I are very strict about giving our children sugary drinks.
