Imagine being her husband, watching everything unfold while realising that your wife is a danger to your kids.

This is actually horrifying. Imagine going to the store and some random person decides that you'll be the one they'll make false allegations against for internet clout.

"She misperceived and misunderstood random events that happened around her." Bruh. That is the wildest way I've ever heard someone say 'bitch lied'.

I swear there’s going to be a “mom influencer trauma” section in childhood development textbooks ten years from now.

I despise influencer moms. They keep coming to my house and just stand there. It is terrifying.

The scary part is, when someone is a pathological liar like this, just imagine how she actually treats her kids or her partner behind closed doors. When someone is this manipulative, it is never an isolated incident.

I've heard so many sad stories about what children of mommy influencers go through. Like, "I know your dog died, but try to look sadder for the thumbnail." I saw one person who worked in an ice cream shop make a post about how a parent bought a fancy looking ice cream for their kid, they took a bunch of pictures, and by the time they were done it had melted and just got thrown away. And there was a post written by the spouse of a mommy influencer who said that his daughter wasn't allowed to have any toys at home because it messed up "the aesthetic" and he almost missed his kid's first steps because his wife was blowing up at him over leaving a drink can where the camera would see it and she would have to spend hours trying to remove it from the video. And then, the worst part, there are the ones who make videos of kids in swimsuits or wearing revealing clothes because those videos always do better. Like some of them will literally market their children to pedophiles to get more clicks on their videos. This culture of child exploitation is gross and dangerous and needs to die out.

I worked in retail security and have dealt with a handful of these women first hand. They're truly delusional. The one that sticks out the most was a woman and her daughters in the shoe section. This taller black man was walking through the baby section right next to it. She came rushing over to me and another associate saying that "he had been following her and her daughters through the whole store and was trying to lure them away to kidnap them." Thankfully, she just stormed out of the store saying she was going to call the police (she never did). But I went ahead and played back video just to make sure. He was just a guy being a dude in a store lol. His wife was over in the women's section shopping normally, had the baby stroller with her too, and he was just bored. He was only next to them for maybe 10seconds. So many men just meander because they were dragged there against their will while their wives/girlfriends/partners shop. But that little white woman saw a black man and went to every racist conclusion she could could come up with. It was absolutely disgusting.

I couldn't imagine having my entire life being documented for strangers to see. The fact these mother influencers think its ok to do this is crazy.

She misunderstood nothing. She heard two people speaking Spanish to each other and decided that they were the perfect target. She was so narcissistic that she figured they MUST be talking about her and her children and decided that was all the reason she needed to make up an elaborate story for attention. She weighed her options and figured people would believe her over two "randoms".

I imagine her defense attorney is going with the “she’s stupid” defense because it’s the only reasonable defense he can provide if she won’t just own up to everything and admit she knowingly falsely accused that innocent couple. Because there’s no way she’s completely getting away with this.

"She now owes a quarter into the lie jar. And that jar's gonna be filled to the brim after this case, because she's a fucking liar." Peak poetry.

It’s impressive how she believed her own story so much she reported it to the police.

I feel sorry for her kids having a mother like her.

I can't believe her Lawyer said that "She had no idea how much this would spread".... This entire saga started after she posted a video online. That means she meant it to spread as much as possible!

what’s worse is that she blamed everything on the anxiety she had during the pandemic. like everyone didn’t have the same type of feelings. but not everyone did the same type of actions

She radiates "my looks arent as beneficial now as they were in high school" energy

That’s seriously disturbing that she reported it to the police. She became so obsessed with the story she made up that it actually happened in her head

I’ve had legit experiences (two specifically) where creepy ass men followed me and were scoping out my children and i made the store and the police aware. One of the guys got arrested because he thought he could hide in the parking lot. I’ve told everyone around me about it but this is the first time that I’ve ever posted about it online. It’s scary as shit and it needs to be made public for legit cases but shit like this makes me mad. She needs to be absolutely thrown the book

I think both scenarios are true. She got spooked because she has major Main Character Syndrome and genuinely thought at first that that couple were targeting her, because 'not speaking English!', and then afterwards realized what a goldmine of content that could be for her. So she is stupid AND evil.

“Monday of this week my children were the targets of attempted kidnap.” She sounds exactly like a news reporter: no fear in her voice, no anger, just…nothing. It’s obvious she’s a bad liar or a sociopath, both of which are probably true.

the thought that some narcissistic “mom” influencer can send someone to jail just for some likes on facebook is terrifying

I just got a job at a toy shop and on my first day I saw an influencer mom trying to film a “prank” on the dad with her kids. I stood and watched her force her kids to redo the prank THREE. TIMES. IN. A. ROW. And then they left, not even buying anything, just grabbed a random plastic sword and poked the dad in the ass and walked out… genuinely concerned me realising that influencer moms exist in real like and they’re not some weird NPC

If you falsely accuse someone of a crime, you’re sentence should be what they would’ve got

1. Keep kids away from social media, especially putting them on camera 2. It takes a special kind of evil to try to get two people framed for kidnapping kids for clout

I’m glad she is getting convicted. I hope she receives the maximum sentence. Absolutely disgusting.

"I dont think she undedstands how this would spread and the impact it would cause" YES, YES SHE DID! This is why it makes me so angry 2 innocent people! That could have been any of us! Disgusting 😢

I love how "my client didnt know what they were doing" is the default legal defence when a story is THIS idiotic

"parents are to preoccupied with making sure their kids are masked up, that they no longer look at them" ... what? she failed to check on her kid while checking on her kid? thats a talent

had no idea there was an update to this story thanks for covering it

That's actually scary as hell that she went out of her way to fabricate a kidnapping story to some innocent people. Why on earth would that even come across her mind? Thank God for cameras and stuff now days because that could have ended terribly for them, innocent people. I feel bad for the kids. You know their mom has filled their heads and made them lie and lie and lie. What a nutcase she needs to get a mental evaluation. 🙄

She also had said they were targeting her kids because she heard them say “Look at the little boy, he doesn’t have a mask on that must mean his parents don’t love him and we can take him” while tearing up

The biggest problem with people like her is that now when this type of situation happens for real, people will be less likely to believe real victims because they are so used to people lying.

Her lawyer had to be emotionless bc if he tried to show any emotion he would have just bust out laughing at how goofy she is. 💀

She only got ninety days in jail!!!! It's absolutely outrageous that she only got three months it should be ten years minimum. This woman should've never been a mother. Those kids should be moved to a safer home.

Sad part is liars that get people put in prison never have charges. I believe if you're found to lie and charges are brought, you should get the time they were facing.

Imagine hearing from your mom that she told everyone you've been kidnapped and now need to hide to cover up her story

To be fair, "be a parent" is a legitimate advice nowadays. Some parents aren't willing to do even that.

7:25 in Sonoma County you can actually do that and face no repercussions. I happen to live there and there's a Karen on my street who's been falsely calling cops on me 41 times since 2018. For smoking a cigarette in my car on breaks from taking care of my dementia dying Mom. I have a letter from her written in 2018 that she will always call the cops on me. So...she does. She can't very well report "woman sitting in car peacefully smoking a cigarette" so she calls with claims such as that I have *peed on a sidewalk* (not kidding). SoCo cops come for every call ..no matter how inane. Anyway, so far 2 cops have called her & requested that she quit calling on my car.. but that didn't deter her whatsoever. I have become on a first name basis with several LE's. My only option is a restraining order...but it's not possible without her name. Which cops won't give me. And I'm not gonna risk my credit card on some shady website to find her name (I have her licence plates and car info, plus address). Thing is, it doesn't matter what she does - I'm not doing anything wrong. So I win without any effort. If the cops aren't bothered by 41 false reports and they feel like coming over - that only makes me feel safer around here. They come, they see, they apologize for wasting my time, and leave. But yeah, that's what tax dollars go for in Sonoma County.

The children yearn for the mines

Slightly interesting fact: it’s actually not terribly uncommon for people who are lying to be OVERLY detailed. They’re often hyper-focused on getting you to believe the story that they’re telling you, and people do tend to believe a story more whenever details are included. However, liars will often overcompensate for that by adding too specific and/or too many details to make it seem more believable.

If only Charlie was everyone’s mom, then world peace would be achieved. Alas, we can only dream

Police: source? This woman: I made it up

The attorney looks like he don’t even believe what he’s saying. This was probably the worse(most obvious) lie he ever had to make.

this happened in my town, it was wild to hear about, but the people accused were widely known in the town, and were supported throughout. No one really believed the accuser throughout the events in the video.

Something I’ve learned from watching murder case interrogations. Is that if there are a LOT of details. Things you normally wouldn’t notice or remember due to the stress of the situation. It’s most likely a lie. Liars will oversell a story in hopes that you think “oh they remember so much detail, it can’t be fake”. Not saying this is always true, but I tend to lean more so that way.

The fact that i have shopped at that exact michaels really hurts

Every child deserves a parent but not every parent deserves a child and some parents don’t deserve free will

I’m on the porcelain throne while watching this and hearing “influencer mom” totally cured my constipation 👍 10/10 efficacy indeed

I really love when Charlie gets into insulting someone and just runs out of things to say and just starts saying random shit and you can hear it in his voice that he knows it doesn't make any sense but it still somehow works lol

Love the scientific explanation of the brown note into the immediate dumb it down explanation

As someone who makes music, I have the sudden urge to learn more about this legendary "brown note" and how I can use it against my enemies.

You’re a great mom to us, Charlie.

Influencer parents are genuinely the worst of the worst, they don't deserve children, especially when they solely use their children for clout or to further their own online career.

The fact I just received local news about my home town without even realizing it for half the video is amazing thank you Charlie

She should serve the amount of time the couple she accused with kidnapping would face if they were guilty

In 1993-94, when I was 4, my brother and I were nearly kidnapped outside an old school walmart in hot springs arkansas.. I'll never forget the look on the woman's face as she grabbed my brother. It was something out of a horror movie, the way she went from sweetly telling us she knew our dad to jumping towards my brother and grabbing his arm. Like a spider or something. I thank God my mom came out side when she did. Jeez.... Explanation : my mom, brother, and sisters were checking out at Walmart...my step dad had gone to the car (unknown to us he was pulling it up front) my brother who is two years older went running outside to the car... I followed. We got to an empty parking space and i remember being very confused and then a woman walking up and asking if we were looking for our dad and claiming to know him, my brother took a couple steps toward her and I moved backwards because it set alarms off with me that she referred to him as my dad and not step dad... she then grabbed my brothers arm I grabbed his other arm and tried to kinda sit down. And I started yelling.. the second woman started kinda freaking out and telling them to hurry. The man then came around her and grabbed me by the waist... right as I felt him gain control of my weight and start to lift me up. I heard a scream and we all stopped in unison and turned and my mother, with my step dad right behind her, was running through the parking lot straight at us.. they let us down and all ran off.. I don't rember lot.past that until we were driving home and my mother was yelling at us alot.. I don't remember her ever being more angry than that night.

One of the worst things about social media is that people believe things like that at face value and without question. The couple accused are lucky they weren’t recognised sooner and some vigilante who believed every word of Katie’s story tracked them down and did them harm. *Always* question everything you read on social media, especially if you’re only getting one side of the story.

I love that to preface this story, he had to explain what the brown noise is

I live locally up where it happend and it’s just so fucked. The family that was accused now has to fully vaccate the area

My sister does this with her kids and it makes me sick. Her social media reports every event that happens to her kids, and even uses them as a bargaining chip, threatening to cut off contact with whoever doesnt fall in line. My parents bite their tongue because they want a relationship with their grandkids. Social media moms are the most soulless, degenerate incels. Edit: Yes women can be incels too. It's a behavioral pattern that doesn't pertain to only men. Why are people white knighting for my sister when I know my sister better than they ever will? Unless y'all took it personally, incels would have to defend other incels I guess.

Back even a years before 2010, Being a parent was seen as an 18-year commitment, not an 18-year paycheck.

Lol that robot attorney

She can get a maximum 6 months in jail... not enough in my opinion. I hope the couple she accused sue her for everything they can get.

Pretty big red flag considering how emotionless her voice is as she’s talking about her kids being “kidnapped”. She doesn’t sound upset. She doesn’t sound afraid. She doesn’t sound mad. She sounds like she’s reciting a script with little care in the world. Any parent would panic in this kind of situation.

The maximum sentence she can get is only six months, it should be 20 years. She put an innocent couple at risk with her disgusting allegations and made their lives hell.

“Your honor my client was just in a silly goofy mood”

"That man was robotic" he says in unwavering monotone

I mean, I would’ve believed that her kids got kidnapped because she looked like the kind of person who would let that sort of thing happen

Man if someone tried to falsely accuse me of something like that I'd sue them for everything they own. I hope the couple she accused do the same.

that lawyer look like he is being held at gun point while he was making that video

From the SpongeBob references to the South Park references I really enjoy the humor u put in your channel man peace from Austin Texas

She explained how her children were almost taken to some unimaginable end the same way a normal person would explain seeing someone you don’t like in Walmart

Her lawyer basically said "She spoke her truth" like they're on The View instead of facing criminal charges.

„kidnapping avoidance tutorials“ had me laughing out loud

That attorney absolutely had to tell her that was the best path to choose for a defense. You cannot tell me that she, a mother, DIDN'T know the clout and popularity that her story would have. I absolutely cannot believe that.

I feel like people getting caught in that type of lie should have to serve the maximum sentence for everyone that was falsely accused.

Title: “She lied” Thumbnail: “Common blonde mom” Result: “Something stupid happened”

Imagine your best defense is "I'm a moron", that's a low.

As a 20yr old woman who was almost taken at an amusement park, it happens very quickly. They don't give you much time to react. By the time you see them/they approach you you're already the target and you already have the lower hand. It's FAST. You can't just walk away, they make you look like the suspicious one. They have alot of tactics and I personally think mom's are not vigilant enough , but also wayyyy too hypervigilant in the wrong ways. And they usually act super sweet or helpful or kind, so people dont even question things. My mom thank god saw me from the ride my family was jumping onto, and I knew they were acting strange, and I have a signal with her I've had since I was a kid, TRAIN YOUR KIDS. it happens when you're young and an adult! This person lying makes real people's experiences look fake. It sucks.

The problem is that some moms care more about having power over their children than they care about their children themselves, and the fact they're so quick to hide behind the 'hur dur being mom is hard' is why it's such an ordeal to hold them accountable for subjecting their children to such shitty parenting.

As a mom who has had a kid go missing for several hours, not knowing if my child had been taken by a stranger, this is absolutely angering! I can only imagine how parents of children who have been kidnapped or had children go missing might feel about this! Then she tried to frame people for something that didn't even happen! I hope she gets the maximum sentence!

The lawyer didn’t blink

Narcissism is one hell of a drug.

when I first heard of the word influencer in 2019, i thought it mean't someone who gives great life advice and is kind enough to help people who are in need of it. I could not have been more wrong.

I feel bad for her kids. They deserve better.

I have a similar case where someone put a project manager at my company on blast online for attempted kidnapping. Looking for a car seat for his newborn

Okay I slapped that like; now give me kidnapping avoidance tutorial please

Well. This situation is sad, to be honest. I feel so sorry for her kids. I can't imagine growing up with such a horrific and absolutely discusting mother at such a young age.

This is where I'm from. This women got absolutely dragged when it came out she lied, so much so she left the state. Her lawyer also tried to get the case dismissed multiple times. It's annoying it took this long, but finally she gets what she deserves

Great video, I was able to remember what happened and wrote about it in a History paragraph comparing it to Yellow Journalism.

It’s always a heffa named Katie, too

Thank god she is getting charged I really didn’t think she’s actually was gonna get any repercussions

Thank you for addressing this. I'm so sick and tired of not only this happening, but people usually getting away with it. I hope she gets hers and more.

“They took two steps toward, but then three steps back. They did they hokie pokie and they turned themselves around” 😂😂😂😂

happy 13 mill charlie!

"She didn't know what was going on" isn't a good excuse for her to get away with it. If anything, I think that shows she needs an even BIGGER punishment for her actions. If someone can just go around ruining people's lives "on accident" because she "didn't know better", she may as well plead insanity and get locked up in a mental hospital. A parent like that should not have kids, especially if they're going to endanger someone else's life for clout.

There was a case of a woman in my town making a case about being kidnapped and trafficked. She named several people and those people saw inside cells, and it came out she lied about the whole thing. It RUINED the accused people’s lives. What’s horrible is that people seem to get off EXTREMELY lightly for something of this calibre. False claims are perhaps some of the worst things a person can do to another, and I wholeheartedly believe people who make these claims should get the punishment of the crime they accuse others of. It’s sickening.

We aren’t safe anywhere. Not because of innocent people falsely accused of kidnapping. But because of people looking for clout pulling out a camera accusing for no good reason.

Stupidity has become a legitimate defense, wow
