The 21st century has brought along a lot of interesting phenomenons. We have iPhones, headphones without wires, social media, food delivery apps, reality television, and of course, the rise of the mommy vloggers.
While I have a lot of opinions about family’s who choose to post videos of their children on YouTube, there is a right and wrong way this can be done, and let’s just say YouTuber mom Jordan Cheyenne recently got caught doing it the wrong way.

YouTube is easily one of the most used social media platforms around.
While many internet fads come and go, it’s clear the popular video-sharing platform is here to stay. With literally billions of videos to pick from, there’s always something interesting to watch for everyone.
A recent trend in the past ten years on YouTube has been the rise of “mommy vloggers” — women who share the ins and outs of their own personal life as a parent.
Most of the time, this also means the children and/or partner of the mommy vlogger will also be heavily featured.
This topic is understandably controversial and calls a lot of child labour laws into question.
Over the years, several family vlog channels have been called out for exploiting children for the sake of views.
Now, one YouTuber has come under fire following a controversial clip she accidentally included in a recent vlog with her son.
YouTube and influencer mom Jordan Cheyenne uploaded a video last week with her son, Christian, after finding out their new puppy has been diagnosed with parvovirus.
The now-deleted video, titled “ae are heartbroken” shows Jordan and her son reacting to the devastating news. However, it appears that Jordan had forgotten to edit out the final clip of the video, where she can be seen coaching her son to cry into her chest for the thumbnail.
“Act like you’re crying,” she tells her son after pulling him into her chest.
“I am crying!” he can be heard saying. “I am actually, seriously sad.”
While he’s crying, Jordan is instructing her son how to pose and telling him to “look at the camera” through tears.
Naturally, the internet is incredibly disturbed.
In response to the backlash, the 30-year-old claimed to be “emotionally exhausted” and “disgusted” with her behavior.
Jordan has since deleted all her social media accounts and is focusing on her son.
