A mum has hit back after a complete stranger called her son "dirty and gross" for playing in a muddy puddle.
Autumn, who regularly opens up about her Montessori method of parenting online, overheard another parent making the rude comment in a car park when her little boy jumped in puddles.
Defending her approach to parenting, she says she's more than happy to let little Luca continue playing however he wants, regardless of any stares they may get, as she wants him to "fully explore his environment."
