Hannah Hiatt, a popular TikTok mom influencer from Utah, is facing growing backlash following controversial videos that have sparked allegations of child neglect and abuse. Hiatt, a nurse by profession, first gained attention in October for a video that showed 17 dirty diapers scattered around her home. This clip, intended to highlight her experiences with parental burnout, quickly sparked concerns among viewers about her childcare practices.

The most recent controversy erupted when a video of Hiatt’s two-year-old son, James, went viral. In the footage, James is seen in a shopping cart, visibly twitching and raising his hands as his father, Braxton Hiatt, approaches him with an object. Many viewers interpreted the child’s reaction as a sign of fear or trauma, sparking a wave of criticism. Several internet users pointed to other videos in which James appeared to go for long periods without eating and Hiatt allegedly refused to buy him a winter coat despite the cold temperatures in Utah.

In addition to these allegations, other past incidents have raised concerns. Hiatt had previously mentioned her refusal to seek prenatal care during her pregnancy, citing a lack of insurance. Additionally, James is frequently seen in Hiatt’s videos with bruises on his face and legs, further fueling concerns for his safety and well-being. As the controversy grew, many viewers called for an investigation by Child Protective Services (CPS) and some even called for Hannah and her husband to be arrested for neglect of their children.

In response to the allegations, Hiatt defended the grocery store incident, claiming that it was simply a playful interaction between her husband and son. However, many critics were unconvinced by her explanation, leading to increased calls for CPS involvement and an urgent investigation.

The situation has drawn comparisons to the case of Ruby Franke, another Utah momfluencer who was recently charged with child molestation. As public outrage continues to grow, many are calling for protection of Hiatt’s children and further scrutiny of their parenting practices.
