Savannah Glembin experienced her worst fear when a seemingly innocent video of her toddler playing with his father went viral for all the wrong reasons.

In the video, Savannah’s husband is seen playing with their child, who is laughing and having a good time, as reported by Savannah.

However, some viewers had a contrasting viewpoint.

Savannah Glembin is a photographer and videographer who has found herself with a hefty 1.1 million following on TikTok.

As you can see on her profile, she is married and has a young son with her husband.

The Glembin family looks like a fun family that many can relate to online.

It wasn’t until one video that many people came forward with concern.

What seemed harmless to the Glembins.

As you can see in the video, Savannah includes a text overlay:

“got a grumpy toddler all day, this is the only way.”

Her toddler can be seen with his arms constricted because he’s wrapped in cling wrap.

While the toddler’s father plays with him, tossing him around and rolling him back and forth, Savannah and her husband joke that he looks like a worm.

While they thought this was funny and entertaining, many others did not feel that way.

The uproar from the community.

You can see in the comments and reaction videos that many were concerned for the child’s safety.

And while the original video was gaining lots of traction and negativity online, Savannah was unaware, and they were living their lives until one day, police arrived at their doorstep.

There was enough concern from some viewers online that they called child protective services on Savannah and her husband.

What happened next?

When they answered the door to the police, they were made aware that their child was to be taken away by child protective services while the claims of the child’s safety were under investigation.

Based on Savannah’s TikTok, it seems their son was taken away for the weekend before returning home to his parents.

It was then that Savanah posted a video update sharing this in the caption:

“CPS cleared us of wrongdoing and determined our home, with us, is a safe one for our son, despite that…a hard lesson was learned, a mistake we will never make again, this weekend was extremely traumatic for us as a family and will be taking time away to heal.”

Sometimes online fame isn’t always what it seems to be.

Online fame may seem attractive, but it’s not always as glamorous as it appears.

When someone shares their life on the internet, they open themselves up to public scrutiny and judgment.

People may feel entitled to comment on their choices and lifestyle, even if they don’t know the person.

This can lead to constant criticism and negative attention, which can be emotionally exhausting.

In short, online fame often comes at a price, and it’s not always worth the cost.

Unfortunately, the Glembin family learned the hard way, but we all hope it is for the betterment of their family.
