GORDON, GEORGIA: 'Mama June: Family Crisis' star Pumpkin is facing a double blow as allegations against her pile up. Recently, she was criticized for her money-making scheme, in which she targets vulnerable people with a game plan. Now she's under fire for her unsafe parenting practices. In a recent TikTok video promoting her protein drink, Pumpkin's toddler was left unstrapped on a high chair, sparking outrage among fans.

Internet users didn't hold back, calling her a "s**t mother" and emphasizing her lack of concern for her child's safety. As her reputation takes a hit, doubts arise about Pumpkin's ability to put the welfare of her children above her personal gain.

Pumpkin promotes protein drink leaving toddler in high chair

Pumpkin's recent TikTok post showed a concerning parenting mistake when she promoted her protein drink while failing to secure her toddler in a chair, putting the child's safety at risk. Although fans noticed the unstrapped baby in the background, she continued with her promotional video, seemingly unconcerned about the dangers of leaving a child unsecured in an elevated chair near a table. That incident, amid growing accusations and a declining reputation, has increased criticism of Pumpkin and raised doubts about her ability to put the welfare of her children ahead of personal gain. Her reputation has also suffered recently, as she was the most popular member of the house, but due to her promotional videos that attracted viewers for money, and now, according to the Internet, due to her neglectful parenting behavior, they are unhappy with her parenting style.

'She doesn’t care about her kid’s safety'

Pumpkin was called out for her parenting after she shared video. One user said, "She doesn’t care about her kid’s safety in the slightest. She believes nothing bad will happen to her and her family because they are famous." Another added a blunt remark, "Disaster Mother." One user said, "She never pays attention to any of her kids. She’s a horrible mother in my opinion." Some users even called her a new-age mom cynically, "She sounds like every typical mother these days. Would rather have a bottle and a man then fix a bottle for their baby that’s hungry." Another user added, "She is a s**t mother." Some users even took time to teach lessons and say how people should first be tested before becoming parents and said, "These people are an example of why you should have to pass a test before bringing home a baby." Another user said, "Maybe Pumpkin just wants her kid to experience the thrill of living dangerously #sarcasm"
