Having Fun with Their Son — Or So They Thought

Savannah enjoyed sharing snippets of her family life online. She adored her son and captured funny moments with him whenever possible. However, one clip shared in 2023 led to disaster.

In the clip, Savannah's son was wrapped in cling film, unable to move his arms, while his dad played with him. The couple found the activity hilarious and noted that the child looked like a worm or cucumber.

While they had fun, the boy's reaction caught the attention of many netizens. They believed the little child, Gunner, was distressed and unhappy in the viral clip.

One online community member, @Auntkaren0, called the incident abusive and disapproved of the parents' conduct.

A Knock at Their Door Changed Everything

These accusations from netizens quickly gained traction on social media, with some even contacting child protective services to report the incident.

Meanwhile, mom Savannah was oblivious to the overwhelming public outcry against her video. She only realized things had gone wrong when she heard a knock at the door.

The Mother Was Heartbroken

To Savannah's shock, the police showed up at her door soon after the video was posted, informing her that her son would be taken away until the allegations could be investigated.

The couple was left heartbroken and confused, having never suspected their innocent video could cause such a stir. The devastated and emotional mother expressed:

"[Our son] has been taken from us until CPS can evaluate our home because I posted a video of my husband and son playing."

The Mother Denied Using Her Son for Views

As an influencer, Savannah was accused of using her son to gain clout and views, no matter the cost. However, she vehemently denied this and added that she did not monetize her TikTok videos.

One online community member, @Auntkaren0, called the incident abusive and disapproved of the parents' conduct, adding:

"I don't see what's funny here. I don't understand how putting your toddler in an uncomfortable position is funny and then posting it for views."

Traumatized by the Ordeal

Luckily for the heartbroken mom, her ordeal soon came to an end. In a follow-up clip, she revealed that Gunner was returned to her care. She was relieved but traumatized.

She told users her family would be taking time away from social media and was grateful to have her boy at home, where he belonged. Despite this, the online community still had much to say about the ordeal.
