Hilary Duff is catching fire for her actions recently. As we know, the mommy shamers on social media can be next level, and now Hilary is dealing with them again after her friend posted a video of Hilary's 3-year-old daughter Banks in the back of her car without a car seat.
In the video, fans have speculated that Hilary is in the passenger seat, and her husband Matthew is driving, however, this information can't be confirmed.
The 34-year-old made it clear she knew how critical the internet can be of her parenting in November of last year.
"Yes! I pierced her ears today," she wrote. "Can't wait for the internet to call me a child abuser.... again. less go," she added, referencing the scandal she got caught in two years ago with her other daughter, Banks.
“I’m so used to dodging the comments or the judgment, that I don’t realize. Like, you just get a tough skin and you don’t realize how much it actually affects you," she told Yahoo! Life at the time.
"At first I want to be defensive, but when I zoom out, I’m like, ‘It’s one person. That’s not how everybody feels."
Now, Hilary is facing another barrage of critics after a controversial video of her daughter has been circulating on social media.
Molly, who is also Banks' godmother, was making goofy faces and laughing with the three-year-old while Hilary and her husband Matthew were in the front seat.
According to California law, all children under the age of eight are to be secured safely in a car or booster seat.
"Worked a fatality accident involving a 4 year old, no car seat, no booster. Only lap belt. Broke her neck and lap belt severed organs in belly. There is a reason for these recommendations," wrote one follower.
"I love this child and want to share it on social…but I’m clueless as to how to keep said child alive in a moving car…maybe I should actually take state laws seriously…hmmm…I wonder why they exist…Just lost a TON of respect for all adults involved here," wrote a different follower.
In response to one user criticizing Hilary for "keeping the post up," Matthew sarcastically replied, "You are truly a hero for speaking up," as reported by Scary Mommy.
Yikes.
It seems the pair are just hoping the controversy will blow over, but it's important to remember the proper ways to care for children!
