Savannah West, 29, was planning to drop off her daughter at her grandmother’s house for six weeks so she could go on vacation without her child. She decided to make a joke about it on TikTok, thinking everyone would understand the humor. Instead, many people in the comments began calling her a “bad mother.”
The story became so blown out of proportion that West later had to explain to People what had caused hundreds of thousands of people to question her parenting style. “The funny part is that she’s always asking for her suitcase, and she wants to go to the airport because she knows,” West told the publication. She added, “I thought that that video was funny, so I figured it would get views. But I never thought that it would turn into all of this.”
