I'm a mum blogger & sick trolls reported me to social services for CHILD ABUSE…my man got quizzed on me being a ‘druggy'
A MUMMY blogger has candidly opened up on being reported to social services by sick trolls. Brittany Miller, 29, who is mother to identical twins, Elijah and Emiliano, 11 months, who are soon to be celebrating their first birthday in just days time, explained that an anonymous hater had recently accused her of child abuse. 2 Not only this, but Brittany's partner Ash, who is the father of their twins, was even quizzed on her being an alcoholic and a ' druggy.' Opening up about the horrendous ordeal, the content creator took to social media and shared a raw, emotional clip, leaving many horrified. She acknowledged that someone reported her to social services, not only accusing her of child abuse, but holding her responsible for 'lots of things.' The mum-of-two confirmed that she 'got questioned about everything' and was 'really upset' when she spoke to them on the phone, so much so that she 'kept having to pause' because she was crying so much. She recognised: 'Obviously the phone call ended with no further action - they straight away shut it all down, but the fact I even had to go through that...' The influencer, who recently caused controversy over feeing her babies breakfast that trolls thought could 'get stuck' in their throats, continued: 'People are so desperate for my downfall and bringing me down, but bringing my children into it is ludicrous - why would you want to do that to them, innocent babies? 'Do what you want to me, whatever, but to them, innocent children who are clearly very happy and healthy babies, that's crazy, you're an actual weirdo, you're an actual loser.' Brittany claimed that Ash was 'questioned' and asked if he had any 'concerns' about her being an alcoholic or a 'druggy.' The influencer claimed that as expected, her partner told her he 'spoke highly' of her and 'told them the truth.' I was reported to social services for sharing the reality of being a council house mum on benefits, the police turned up Despite being clearly upset about the situation, Brittany told trolls to 'make all the reports you want' as she confidently claimed haters would 'not get anywhere.' The brunette highlighted that her 'happy, healthy babies' are 'thriving' and are not only 'very well looked after' but are most certainly 'not in any danger.' Bringing my children into it is ludicrous - why would you want to do that to them, innocent babies? Brittany Miller Admitting to being 'taken back' by it all, Brittany continued: 'Never in a million years did I think I'd have to go through something like this - obviously, I'm in the spotlight, I get millions of views every video, I get it, there's nasty people out there, I understand that. 'I just think, how cruel can you actually be? So, so cruel.' What happens when a parent is reported to social services? When someone is reported, information about the parent is passed on to social services through a referral. A social worker will then arrange a visit to the address to see if the information given is true and what they can do to help. Within one working day of a concern being reported, a social worker should make the decision about what sort of investigation is needed. There are two types of investigation that a social worker can choose to implement in this situation, under the Children's Act 1989. A "child in need" assessment under section 17 of the 1989 act will identify the needs of the child and ensure that the family are given the appropriate support in enabling them to safeguard and promote the child's welfare. A section 47 investigation is where there is reasonable cause to suspect that a child is suffering or likely to suffer significant harm. This type of investigation can be undertaken by the police, a social care worker, or both. If a referral is made to social services, they have an obligation to safeguard any children at the heart of any referral and ensure their safety and wellbeing. There is a fear for many parents that their children will be removed, but this isn't necessary unless they believe the child faces an immediate risk of harm. How to contact social services in the UK There are a number of different ways to contact social services in the UK. The best way is to go to your local authority's website to find the correct telephone and email contact number. They may even have a form you can fill in and submit. For child protection concerns you should dial 999 if it's an emergency, or contact the children and family services. An out of hours contact should also be available. The NHS website provides links to family action, and other ways of contacting social services include NSPCC and Childline. There is also help on in which someone can enter their details to apply for a care assessment from social services. Social media users react The TikTok clip, which was posted on Brittany's official page @ brittanyhmiller, has clearly left many gobsmacked, as in three days, it has quickly gone viral and racked up 4.3 million views, 332,500 likes and 2,613 comments. Social media users were 'appalled' that Brittany had been reported to social services and many eagerly rushed to the comments to share messages of love and support. You're doing amazing with your beautiful boys. Don't worry about them, they are jealous TikTok user One person said: 'People are so horrible. Brittany, you're a GREAT mum.' Another added: 'So while social services were concentrating on you, some little one could be saved from real child abuse…..these people have no life of their own and are wasting resources.' A third commented: 'This is actually appalling. People may not like you but to do something that affects two very happy and loved babies is vile. People need to actually get a life.' Meanwhile, someone else chimed in and wrote: 'You're doing amazing with your beautiful boys. Don't worry about them, they are jealous.' Whilst another fan penned: 'Brittany, I am so sorry you went through that. Even false, it's still stressful.'

Mumfluencer sobs over cruel shaming she faces daily, including how baby twins ‘would be better off without her'
TROLL TEARS She gets called "fat and ugly", and told she's a "s**t mum", by cruel trolls every day , Digital Senior Reporter AN INFLUENCER has been left sobbing while on holiday over the horrific mum-shaming she gets on a daily basis. Brittany Miller is mum to 10-month-old twins Emiliano and Elijah, and is currently on holiday with the boys and her fiancé in Turkey. 3 3 But in a video on her TikTok page, Brittany explained that the vacation hasn't gone to plan as both her boys have been ill. So she did her best not to "sugar coat" the experience, as she admitted she's been "up constantly all night long" trying to look after her poorly boys. However, Brittany added that opening up about "how hard" the holiday has been so far has been difficult for her - because she knows it will undoubtedly lead to more mum-shaming. Breaking down in tears, the 28-year-old said that TikTok - where she has 3.4 million followers - is "so bad" for her mental health. "I struggle so much - every day I open the app and it's like, 'You're a bad mum, you're a s**t mum, you're fat, you're ugly, your kids will be better off without you'," she shockingly revealed, adding that she receives the cruel comments "every single day of my life". Brittany continued to admit there's "only so much I can physically take", as she can't keep hearing from people that she's "doing such a s**t job every single day". But not everyone is nasty to Brittany on the social media app, as she said that those who defend her, and are "so loving and caring" towards her. "I honestly love you all so much. You are the people that keep me on this app," she concluded. Comments on the video were mixed, with the majority offering their support to Brittany in the wake of her admission. However, there were still some remarks from those who insisted that if TikTok was having such a negative impact on her mental health, she should just get rid of it completely. Mumfluencer Zoe Blaskey shares tip for burnt out mums "Sorry, if it drags you down, DO NOT DO IT," one wrote. "A private life IS A HAPPY LIFE. Fact. "Do not bring your family onto TikTok." "Just delete the app. Too easy," another urged. "You don't have to! Don't open it," a third agreed. "I think with any job, if it's damaging your mental health then it's time to find a new job," someone else said. But other supporters of Brittany seized the opportunity to try and boost the mum's confidence with their words. "I'm a silent follower Brittany, but have followed you for some time," one wrote. "You are doing amazing and are amazing. "Keep your head held high and keep being you." "Oh my god I see nothing but a good mummy to them beautiful babies," another insisted. "That's awful this app has you feeling that way." "All these mum trolls need to get a grip, you're just learning like anyone else being a first time mum to twins," a third grumbled. "This is so NORMAL," someone else wrote. "You should never be judged for being honest or how you live your life. Take a break." 3

‘I'm scared to look' people cry as mum shows off her 10-month-old twins' breakfast that ‘will get stuck in their throat'
Plus, scroll down for NHS advice on foods to avoid giving to babies CHOKE CHECK 'I'm scared to look' people cry as mum shows off her 10-month-old twins' breakfast that 'will get stuck in their throat' A MUM-OF-TWO has caused controversy after giving her 10-month-old twins desiccated coconut for breakfast. Brittany Miller is mother to Emiliano and Elijah and regularly shares videos of her parenting journey on her social media pages. 2 A influencer has caused a debate after giving her 10-month-old twins desiccated coconut Credit: TikTok/@brittanyhmiller 2 Brittany Miller sprinkled the coconut over a piece of French toast, leaving many very concerned Credit: TikTok/@brittanyhmiller She recently started baby led weaning (BLW) with her sons and earlier this year, came under fire for giving the boys steak for dinner. But now, the influencer has caused a stir yet again after posting a clip of her 10-month-old twins' eating breakfast. Before handing her kids their plates of food, Brittany said: 'It's breakfast time for the boys and I feel like I haven't shown you their food in ages and they're doing so well with their food.' As she gave her followers a close-up look at their lavish meal, Brittany added: 'So they've got French toast with strawberry yoghurt, and I'm just sprinkling coconut all over it. 'This is cold steak - I just keep steak in the fridge and I just give it to them because it's cold, it's really soothing, they can actually chew it up now. 'And then they've got a tomato - they love tomato because it's just so juicy and refreshing on their gums, and then they will have some orange, but not until they've had this.' Moments later, the brunette explained: 'Emi has gone straight for the French toast, Eli has gone straight for the tomato, he literally loves tomatoes so much.' But Brittany's TikTok clip, which was posted on her official account @brittanyhmiller, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly gone viral and racked up 1.3 million views in just three days. Not only this, but it's also amassed 80,300 likes, 671 comments and 1,398 saves. Despite the meal appearing delicious and nutritious, numerous social media users were concerned by Brittany's boys eating desiccated coconut and many eagerly raced to the comments to voice their fears. Mum slammed for giving eight-month-old twins STEAK One person said: 'Omg really? Coconut will get stuck in their throat.' Another asked: 'I'm scared to look. Is it safe for them?' Whilst someone else questioned: 'Coconut gets stuck in their throat??' To this, Brittany confidently clapped back and simply penned: 'No.' So they've got French toast with strawberry yoghurt, and I'm just sprinkling coconut all over it Brittany Miller Despite lots of concern amongst fans, desiccated coconut can be safely introduced to babies and is commonly used for children as a natural way to sweeten, add grip for weaning or provide extra nutrients to meals. It is generally considered safe for babies in small amounts, but it has been advised to wait until children are around nine to 12 months, when they are better at chewing and swallowing. When choosing desiccated coconut, it's advised to check that it is unsweetened and without added preservatives. What is baby led weaning? Starting your baby on food can be a daunting, scary process. And while mums have depended for years on purees and soft, easy to eat foods for their babies, there's another approach that often causes controversy. Namely baby led weaning (BLW). Instead of spoon-feeding your baby pureed or mashed foods, BLW means offering them "only finger foods and letting them feed themselves from the start", the NHS explained. "You can offer a range of small, finger-sized pieces of food," they added. "Some parents prefer baby-led weaning to spoon feeding, while others combine a bit of both. "There's no right or wrong way – the most important thing is that your baby eats a wide variety of food and gets all the nutrients they need." Raw coconut chunks should be avoided due to choking hazards, and finely shredded or blended coconut is safer for babies. For younger babies, who are under nine months old, it is recommended to avoid desiccated coconut due to the risk of choking and digestive difficulty. NHS advice According to the NHS, when it comes to weaning, there are a number of foods parents should avoid giving to babies and young children. The NHS website reads: 'Babies should not eat much salt, as it's not good for their kidneys. 'Do not add salt to your baby's food or cooking water, and do not use stock cubes or gravy, as they're often high in salt. 'Remember this when you're cooking for the family if you plan to give the same food to your baby. 'Avoid salty foods like: bacon, sausages, chips with added salt, crackers, crisps, ready meals, takeaways.' Different parenting techniques Here are some widely recognised methods: Authoritative Parenting This technique will often foster independence, self-discipline, and high self-esteem in children. It is often considered the most effective, this technique is where parents set clear expectations - enforcing rules - whilst also showing warmth and support. Authoritarian Parenting This is opposite to authoritative parenting, as it is where the parent sets high demands but is low on responsiveness. It involves ensuring the child is obedient and often employ punitive measures. While this can lead to disciplined behaviour, it may also result in lower self-esteem and social skills in children. Permissive Parenting Permissive parents tend to be indulgent and lenient, often taking on a role more akin to a friend than an authority figure. They are highly responsive but lack demandingness, granting children a lot of freedom. This method can nurture creativity and a free-spirited nature but may also result in poor self-regulation and difficulties with authority. Uninvolved Parenting Uninvolved or neglectful parenting is marked by low responsiveness and low demands. Parents in this category offer minimal guidance, nurturing, or attention. This often leaves children feeling neglected, which can have significant negative effects on their emotional and social development. Helicopter Parenting Helicopter parents are extremely involved and overprotective, frequently micromanaging their children's lives. Although their goal is to protect and support, this approach can hinder a child's ability to develop independence and problem-solving skills. Free-Range Parenting Free-range parenting encourages children to explore and learn from their surroundings with minimal parental interference. This method promotes independence and resilience but requires a safe and supportive environment to be successful. Attachment Parenting According to Attachment parenting focuses on physical closeness and emotional bonding, often through practices such as co-sleeping and baby-wearing. This approach aims to create secure attachments and emotional well-being, but demands significant time and emotional commitment from parents. Each of these parenting techniques has its own set of strengths and weaknesses. The key is to find a balanced approach that aligns with the family's values and meets the child's needs for a healthy, happy upbringing. Not only is it advised to minimise the amount of salt you give to babies, but sugar is also a no no. According to the NHS: 'Your baby does not need sugar. By avoiding sugary snacks and drinks (including fruit juice and other fruit drinks), you'll help prevent tooth decay.' Additionally, parents should also steer clear of saturated fats. 'Do not give your child too many foods that are high in saturated fat, such as crisps, biscuits and cakes. 'Checking the nutrition labels can help you choose foods that are lower in saturated fat,' the NHS recommends.
