What boggles me the most that she’s so overprotective over identity of her new bf and her BD and at the same time exploiting her kids who can’t give a consent to be filmed.

I'm sorry but the people defending this should never have children. You do not leave your kids unsupervised for a moment, not to mention in an unlocked car in an unfamiliar place. I don't think she's a bad mom, but this should serve as a serious learning experience for her. I can only hope that she took the criticism and will not do this in the future.

Her criticizing her second kid as being the “fatter” kid and less favorite breaks my heart. You should never say that about your kids- this is bound to give her poor kid self esteem issues in the future.

Ok leaving your kids or pets in the car is ILLEGAL in the United States. There is NO excuses for it, Do NOT do that. I've seen police actually break in the car to rescue a pet left in the car and another time a baby. It's embarrassing to see and you can get in some serious trouble. Don't do it.

Being a parent is HARD. Doing it on social media is reckless. This young woman is obviously "doing it for the vlog!" Man, these social media babies are probably going to be messed up when they are adults.

“Everyone is so pc these days. I leave all 3 of my kids in the car while grocery shopping” well, we know who the bad parents are

Bruh thats seriously messed up, never EVER leave your children unattended if they cant get help if they need it. This lady scares me :(

I enjoyed watching her whenever she occasionally came up on my fyp but I was really shocked to see the video of her leaving her twins in the heat while she went swimming with her friends. When she returned, one of her twins was extremely red and looked very irritated! I feel bad for the babies, I wonder what they'll think of this when they grow up..

the mom who wrote "i leave my kids in my car when i go to the supermarket k byeee" should have her kids taken away immediately.

Excuse me, but, since when has “don’t leave your child unattended in a vehicle” been considered “pc”? Do people even know what that means anymore?

Anyone who exploits their children, is a bad person and shouldn't have kids

I’m a single mother, I can’t even leave my 3 year old in the next room alone never mind all of that! What we see is just the iceberg, I can only imagine the type of neglect these children go through, especially if she’s willingly telling us about this..

I grew up always thinking my brother was my parent's favourite child... Today I know it was my anxiety and depression speaking out of me from a really young age on. But to hear that some parents might "joke" about having favourites is not even slightly funny to me. Still to this day I suffer from the trauma that I told myself I'm the unloved and unwanted child.

Shoutout to everyone who’s waiting to have kids until they’re actually mentally, emotionally, and financially stable and mature enough to be a parent.

Every child deserves a parent, but not all parents deserve children.

The people protecting her after she admitted to leaving her kids in a car while she is working are crazy. I once saw a video of a guy attempting to kidnap a girl while her mother was literally holding the girl's hand. It does not matter how physically close you are to your child - it can happen.

very concerning how many people think that leaving your defenceless child in a car by themselves is okay. especially that one person who said they leave their children in the car all the time when they go grocery shopping. one, that's literally illegal. and two, do you just not care that you're literally endangering your child?? they love to talk about how "it's fine, nothing is gonna happen" because it hasn't happened to them yet. why does it always take something bad happening for these parents to just care for their children?? literally how many children have to suffer the consequences of bad parenting between people get a brain cell or two

Aside from leaving her kids in the car, can we talk about how messed up it is to make merch of your children?

I don’t understand why this lady has fans that support what she’s doing smh 🤦🏻‍♀️

The only acceptable time you should have a “favourite child” is when you only have one kid. Don’t “joke” like this with kids, it’s not funny to them.

the fact that she has a whole specific reddit page for "exposing" her is crazy

My friend was telling me about a lady who left her kids in the car while she ran into the store. The car next to hers caught on fire. She lost one of her children and the other was badly hurt.

You NEVER leave a child alone in a car, ever! We've had so many tragic cases here where the child has been left in hot cars and have unfortunately passed away or the car being stolen with the child in the car. Take your children with you or if it isn't a child friendly event get a babysitter or don't go.

Imagine being a teen and finding a video of your mother "joking" your twin sibling is her favorite child

This just grazes the surface of the bs this chick does. She doesn’t deserve those kids at all

They Are BABYS! WHY IS IT "COOL" TO LEAVE CHILDREN IN DANGER?

Please cover more of these types of moms. So so many family vloggers getting rich off their children’s back.

The older I get, the more I am certain children shouldn’t be on the internet

i literally do not care what anyone has to say, you should NOT drive if you had even a single sip of alcohol

On the topic of parents who exploit and neglect their children: Could you talk about those van living families, specifically "Family of Nomads" and how they're willingly neglecting their children's wants and needs? Specifically their oldest. Gosh, it always infuriates me. There's definitely some complications that comes with that kind of life style in older children. I'd love to hear it discussed.

My mom was a single mom & NEVER neglected me the way that Maia treats her kids.. never.. being a single parent isn’t an excuse to be negligent parent

always thought it was weird that she went out drinking at bars with the babies...

I can’t stand these “mommy” and family bloggers, especially when the children are babies or very young and therefore can’t consent to their images all over the internet. Everyone seems to think their children are marketable these days and it’s really sad. What will these kids think when they’re teenagers, or even grown adults, and there are videos which seem lighthearted now, but would be embarrassing as an adult, all over the internet? These parents know that what happens on the internet stays on the internet, right? ALL of these parents are exploitative.

I'm studying Early years childcare and I have 2 younger sisters, and I've learned that you should Never, under NO CIRCUMSTANCES, leave such young children alone and unsupervised. Anything could go wrong ranging from choking, injury, -ETC. It is so dangerous. It should be common sense for a mother to know this

Thanks for speaking on this, I was following her up until a few months ago when I saw the Reddit thread. The old videos of them in the car are really strange, I’m in childcare and that’s just unacceptable. So much is wrong with what she’s shown online 😞

The whole argument of “you only see 10 mins of their life” okay then but in those videos we only see Maia being a negligent or / awful parent & that’s what she chose to post (like that’s the best footage she had) so how much worse is it behind the camera?! In real life?

It's illegal in the US to leave your kids in the car alone when they are under the age of I think 10 so the people bragging about it to defend her are just being purposely obtuse and bad parents

She's just lucky living in a "rather safe" country (compare to many other places, even though it's NOT safe). In many other countries, actually also in the US, the children can be just taken right in front of you and run off in a van. In my city, there are news that kidnappers pretend to be the grandparents and attempt to kidnap the child at the SCHOOL GATE, RIGHT IN FRONT OF EVERYONE!!! Even adults can be kidnapped! Not to mention the child could suddenly feel unwell and you didn't come back in time to give medical attention. If you have left your child unwatched and they are still here with you healthy and well, it's all luck that they are still here with you. If you don't feel safe leaving your phone or wallet unwatched in that area, you're not leaving your child there alone.

Okay I'm a mom I'm 23 years old, I would NEVER EVER EVER EVER leave my daughter in a car by HERSELF period!!!! Let alone to be in a foreign country and faaar from them. If your child is out of your sight period it's unsafe. I thought she was a good mom smart enough to keep her kids safe but, obvi not. It's common sense.

Our babies are the same age. I couldn’t even imagine thinking this is a good idea. Terrifying

People need to remember that celebrities have to deal with fan obsession. There are some messed up ppl out there and putting your kids into the limelight like this is just wrong.

Emergencies can happen at any time, especially with such little kids. In these cases one has to keep a clear head,and even with only one drink ones judgement and reaction can be affected or slowed down

Abuse and TikTok go hand to hand

a few days after moving into my old house, my next door neighbor let her child continue to sleep in the car after they had returned from shopping and tragically the little girl died of heat exhaustion.. school was starting the next week.. it was all over the news.. "i didn't think anything would happen" was all my next door neighbor could say

Her biggest platform is tik tok...she gets reassurance from thousands of teens who don't have children themselves. Unfortunately the only thing that's going to change her mind about anything at this point is when one of her girls actually is harmed

FINALLY I WANTED SOMEONE TO TALK ABOUT HER LIKE THIS

My mother is terrified of me being in the next isle thats shes in at a shop, she would have a heart attack if I were 2-4 years old and be more them 6 feet away from her! It’s disgusting that police aren’t involved, they would be better off in an adoption centre than her hands.

You don’t need to blur Madaline McCann’s face. It’s good to show her picture because she is still missing.

Any moms supporting leaving their kids alone are crazy

Family channels need to stop. They just use their kids and act like the "prefect" family. It's disgusting how these people are using kids for money. You can't justify leaving little kids in the car. You just can't. If you're justifying it, you're wrong. I don't even have kids but I know not to leave my little children alone even it's a few seconds or mins. There are dangerous, disgusting, and disturbing people in the world.

As a twin myself, if I grew up and then watched a video where my mom said she favorited my twin over me, I would be incredibly sad. My mom constantly says that she doesn’t have a favorite and I still get anxiety about if she prefers my twin over me. So I can’t even imagine if I saw a video where my mom admits that, it would be so devastating!!

2:30 "No one is saying she's a bad mom but..." Hi. I'm no one. I'm saying she's a bad mom.

I used to really enjoy this woman’s content by after a while, she just seems a bit sketchy to me. Idk how honest she is or if she just sees her audience as a bunch of clowns. The way she talks about her baby daddy concerns me. She makes it seems like he’s not in their lives and sometimes she makes it seem like he is. She knows what she’s doing

I never leave my dog alone in the car even for a couple minutes at a gas station. How can you leave your babies in one??

I cannot believe people defend the fact that she left them in the car while swimming. What if something happened to Maia and her friends on the beach? Thinking she didn't have the kids and targeted her. Kids wake up in a car alone. There's so many things wrong with that and if you defend it YOU are the problem.

Idc how popular you are, dangerous actions are just that. DANGEROUS. Any mom who leaves their kids in the car on purpose is choosing to be neglectful

I’ll never understand how parents are so unbothered that their kids are in the car by themselves while they go out to dinner/groceries/etc….. even if I go into a gas station to get snacks/drinks my 5 year old comes with me. The paranoia consumes me if I ever left him behind. And for good reason too! It’s a scary world.

Recently in my home state, a ring of people were arrested for baby kidnapping and trafficking. They were using social media to put together locations and bad habits and snatching the infants right out from under the parents. This woman leaving children in a running car even while nearby would be exactly the type to target.

it’s heartbreaking how a mother could be like that to her own kids

People like that should not have a platform. Using your children are your way to success is just wrong. Of course you'll include them, cause they're part of your life but using them because they sell, is just wrong. Not every person is meant to be a parent and that's proven every single day. Family channels and some parent creators have lost the limit between being a parent for the views and being an actual parent and the kids are on the receiving end of all of this. It's not only on them though, it's on the people who support them and continue to give them a platform as well.

Ok... NO YOU DO NOT LEAVE YOUR KIDS IN THE CAR!!! I have 3 kids. All close in age and while it was a huge pain getting them all out and in when they still needed help to buckle, I did it. Didn't matter if I was only going to be in a store or wherever for just a moment. You do NOT leave your children in the car!

Wanted to add: She said she didn’t know who dad was and he wanted nothing to do with them. But it’s recently come out that he’s been in locked this whole time and might actually be suing her for custody because of her exploitation of them and the dangers she puts them in.

For the entire portion where so many people are debating over how easy it could be for someone to just take her kids because they were left in a car, debating over the safety of leaving them with the AC on, and how easy it is to "check" on them, all i could think about was this story i heard back in July where a baby died because they were left sitting in a car seat by themselves to nap. I know the circumstances are different, but from a distance a dead baby probably doesnt look that different from one that's asleep, and when she "checks" on her kids, I fear one of these day's they'll be suffocating where they sit and from where she is, they're just asleep and she's done her job, being lulled into a false sense of security after so many days of nothing happening.

Yeah I’ve been following her for a while. I guess I shouldnt say follow but I just pay attn to how bad she’s been treating those poor girls. I feel awful for them.

I think what upsets me the most (even though it's not the worse thing she did) is her drinking cause yeah they're too young to remember now but the chances are she's gonna continue drinking around them when they grow up and it's terrible growing up with an alcoholic parent, especially if there's no other parent to help you, it can be traumatic to her kids

The kids will have to live with having alcohol names as their real names

Those that support her are either not parents, or bad parents.

I cannot get over anyone leaving kids in the car. I wasn't allowed to be alone in the car till I was well into my teens. My parents always were aware of the dangers. It's so easy to say things will be find and it won't happen to you, till it does. There's so many kids going missing every day, getting taken advantage of. My parents always had safety in mind with all my siblings and me. Although as a kid I felt it was too much, but being an adult myself now I appreciate the care that went into raising me.

Never leave your child in the car alone, how hard is that and if you have too leave them in with someone you would trust with your life.

I am livid! I heard about this several months back and even told my own mom about it. Maia leaving her kids in the car alone is bad on its’ own but given that the babies are famous, anyone can take them. Anything can happen to those little girls and it is really scary. All it takes is one moment of careless and not paying attention for something to happen to those babies. Given that she’s sharing her kids online like she is and even making money off of them, that is bad parenting right there. One thing I wanted to mention in particular is the moment with hooking up with guys. Maia said herself that when having relations with a man that she’ll leave the option of protection ONLY to the man and that is dangerous especially when you have an audience of young girls watching. That’ll open them up not just to pregnancy but to diseases especially the ones that are incurable.

Finally people are waking up!!

For the first 5 minutes, I was just thinking that Maia was naive and made bad decisions because she was young, but when the part where she left her babies in the car DURING WORK just stunned me. Does she not have a trusted guardian to babysit the kids? Not even her parents or friends? I cannot relate to being a parent, but if I were a single parent, I would seek help from my own parents and family rather than keeping my children in a car thinking that they're safe in that car. (edit) I'm only about 5 minutes into the video, and I cannot with this woman. I also wanted to say, putting your children's faces on social media is not safe either. If you become famous, a lot of people will know what your children look like. My mom posted me on Facebook as a kid because we have family members that are around the world, but she kept her posts only for people whom she was friends with and knew personally. Children cannot give consent to being on social media, hence why people who record videos on the news or other platforms blur other people's faces because they did not consent. Maia is putting her own children in danger of predators by just recording her children and posting their faces on social media.

Thank you!!! We’ve seen this exploitation of children with other tiktok moms. Maia is one of the worst imo.

OMG not that mom admitting to leaving her kids in the car while shopping

Love that every P in the area knows shes leaving her children un attended. So good to share. 🙄

The fact she made merch of the children is just wrong Like I know this KZfaqr called Moriah Elizabeth,she made only ONE video about her baby,ALSO none of her fans even knew she was pregnant I was quite shocked when I found out

I’m sorry if you bring your child with you on vacation or just to the beach, you need to bring them to the shore and engage them in play or at the very least watch them. She should have gotten them into daycare, vetted and hired a nanny or left them with family if she didn’t want to bother.

My tik tok is pretty much all motorcycle content. I had posted videos here and there with my kids in them. When I realized how sick some of these people are, I immediately took those videos down. You won't find my kids on any of my social media anymore. Protect your kids people!

I can't get over the people trying to defend her by announcing with their whole chest that they leave their children unattended on a regular basis

it’s messed up that she knows that thousands of random people are creepily obsessed with her kids and she just profits off it

"I leave all 3 of my kids in the car when I go to the supermarket market" mkay you need to be investigated too! I'm a mom of 2 so I get that you get comfortable just leaving the kids in the car because you're running 50 ft away to get something that'll take 1.5 minutes but when I lived in Cleveland a mom had her kids in the car in her driveway and ran inside to grab something, she even had the key fob with her thinking the car can't go anywhere without it, but it can. Someone stole the car with the kids inside! Thank God the kids were dropped off down the street but it could have been a devastating outcome! Its never worth the risk.

15:59 It bothers me the fact that it says "She goes to a bar maybe once or twice a week and *Brings her kids - that's very normal here.* " I thought it was illegal in America to bring children into a bar?

Not just kidnapped but does anyone realize how hot the inside of a car gets? It can be 20 degrees hotter easily and quickly. I’m from a hot area and have seen it, pets and toddlers cooked from the inside out when left in a car just for a few minutes. It’s alarming how many people don’t think this is dangerous

so heartbreaking that a mom could do this to their kids

Bro the production of this got me thinking I'm watching an actual TV show

Idk why people call her a young mother. She's 25, that's a very normal age to have a child.

If she was a POC this would be a different story

There was parents who went in vacation and left their kids in hotel at night and met friends at restaurant and one would check the kids every thirty mins and their four year old went missing and was NEVER found it was in Portugal you should NEVER leave kids not even to go in to pay for gas!! Yep madeleine McCann was who I was talking about!!

A truly irresponsible mom. (Btw your amazing ily

I feel like when she started she was a loving mother, but after the fame and money corrupted her, she worried more about having fun than her kids.

even with air conditioning and locked doors the babies could choke, someone could break a window, so many things could happen!

WHO LITERALLY TEACHES THEIR CHILD TO BE SELF SUFFICIENT AT SUCH A SMALL AGE Answer: Maia Knight

Glad to see more people waking up to this bs

I grew up with a mother that drank and I remember always being scared. Scared because she wasn’t acting like herself. And I also grew up to never drink because of it. Not that I care if someone has a cocktail but NOT while in the presence of their children.

I have never liked her. Always had bad vibes. Can't stand how much people adore and defend her.

As a mom of twins, and really just as a mom in general, all of this makes me feel very uncomfy.

A quote I think could work here is: “Every child deserves a parent, but not every Adult deserves a child.” I’m not sure who said that, so don’t come for me lol

Why does she even still have the kids. I see so many wrong doings in her actions. I'm so worried for the kids bc this is not a good enviorment at all

8:14 me sitting here being named after alcohol 🧍🏽‍♀️

A single parent is hard and its easier to film stuff and earn money from that then having to go to work but those baby's gonna have a messed up life
