Nurse Hannah Hiatt: TikTok momfluencer Nurse Hannah Hiatt is under investigation after a video of her son flinching in a grocery store sparked concerns. The clip, now deleted, showed Hiatt handing the child an item as he raised his hands defensively, prompting viewers to question her parenting.
Additional reuploaded videos have fueled the backlash, including claims she withheld food and refused to buy a coat for her son due to cost. Critics have drawn comparisons to Ruby Franke, the YouTuber convicted of child abuse earlier this year.
Hiatt denied all allegations, calling the flinching moment “playful” and dismissing the comparisons as “ridiculous.” However, Ogden police and Child Protective Services are now investigating, following reports from concerned viewers.
The controversy has reignited debates about the ethics of family influencers and the risks of sharing children’s lives online.
