Another one wrote, “Ngl this almost makes me wonder how many times you have left that baby alone.. I understand kids being a handful and needing a break - but you never ever leave young kids home alone. This could have ended tragically for him like it does so many other kids every year.”

“You literally put him to bed, left him alone to go ‘see a friend’ which we all know what that means.. you had on a mini black dress and full face of make up. Just say it like it is. You left your son at home alone to go f**k someone. That’s foul. #Digitalprincxss,” the third wrote.

After facing such a huge backlash, Cloutier changed all her social media accounts' settings to private from public. But she also posted a TikTok video to present her side of the story. The video was also shared on Twitter in which she admitted to having some legal issues, but added: “Hi guys, I just wanted to come on here and say I do see your comments, I do see your concerns. I am not trying to hide or avoid the situation. For those of you who know how legal stuff works, legally, I am only allowed to say so much regarding it.” She added, “I know there are a lot of things being posted online and they are very much out of context and very much untrue. Please do not believe everything that you would read on the internet. I can’t really say much more. I just want to say thank you so much for those who have supported me and everything like that. Thank you, guys.” In response to the video, one tweet said, "Lol ok Marrissa what else can you say about leaving ur child home alone and neighbors that don't even know you finding him outside CRYING? Then trying to lie aboutit and blocking everyone that says anything about the situation"

People weren't at all convinced by her justification. A person who refused to be swayed by her words, said, “Bruh there’s literately a police report. She can not say the internet is lying. This is bone chilling to think about as a mother.” The second one said, “definitely done this before too. like  why the fuck would you dare to leave a 5 YEAR OLD ALONE?.I get kids are a hassle but you chose to have them it’s YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to look after them and keep them away from danger! Anyone would’ve seen him and could’ve been kidnapped.” A tweet added: “I cant stand her she gave me bad vibes and that ....nvm ..I hope she loses all her sponsors no excuse period as a Mom your CHILDS SAFETY COMES 1ST.”
