A  second wrote: I live in NYC I have never had 17000 in expenses in my life.

While a third commented: How about invest your time into giving your kids attention and they won’t be getting into fights at school, don’t sit on the internet all day and beg for money.

Someone else said:All they have to do is stop watching her and get their friends to stop watching her.  Send her into the oblivion of the unknown.  Then she'll have to get a job.

Another added: Mom of 3… twins and a boy… I don’t make my kids happy I guess because I don’t buy them everything and anything… live in Ontario and our food bill is about 100$ a week iv never bought them back to summ

Her job is being an 'influencer'… How about getting a steady job and not begging strangers for money - and not spend as if you’re loaded. Another added. 

After the incident, many believe she is justified in seeking help. What did you think about this incident?
