3-Year-old TikTok Sensation Wren Eleonor's mom and other moms were warned against overexposing their kids on social media to protect them from online predators.
A mom posted on TikTok that she was deleting any video of her young daughter and is deleting "tons" of her followers after she observed sexual exploitation concerns for Wren Eleonor, a three-year-old TikTok sensation.
According to DailyDot, Wren Eleonor, TikTok's favorite three-year-old, with the hashtag #wreneleanor, has gained more than 351.2 million views. Recently, moms have accused the toddler's mother, Jacquelyn, of exploiting her young child on the platform. Videos of Wren and her mom have millions of views. In most videos, the toddler can be seen in different outfits, dancing, and doing other kids' stuff.
However, the moms note that the posts were not as innocent as they seem.
It is not okay
The mom, with the account Kelso (@allthings.kelso) captioned her video #SavetheChildren. The post has been viewed more than 674,000 times.

She posted the context of Wren's account. She said she was scrolling through Wren's account when her attention turned to a video of the little girl with a tampon posing inappropriately. The TikTok post, which has now been deleted, had almost 400,000 saves and thousands of "creepy" comments, Kelso noted. In the search bar were suggestive searches like "Wren's scandalous outfit" and "Wren eating a corn dog." She said there were tons of fan accounts of Wren, which had creepy comments in all of the comment sections.
Kelso said that although parents cannot control online predators, they can control the content they post. Kelso noted that the thing that is not okay is that Wren's mother knows as she can see the comments and even turned off the comments on the tampon video. Kelso warned that people save these videos, take screenshots of the kids, and sell these images to online predators. Online predators sometimes find these children, kidnap them, and abuse them.
Even before Kelso pointed out the inappropriate post, other moms also raised that most of Wren's questionable videos, like Wren taking a bath in a swimsuit, have more saves than views. They noted that when Wren wears revealing outfits or is posing in an adult way, her Tiktok views get astronomical numbers. Wren's bathtub video has more than 58,000 saves, while regular videos range from 5,000 to 10,000 saves. Comments on other videos expose hundreds of people sexualizing Wren, commenting lewd and inappropriate vulgarities. Although the moms said that online predators are the issue, they also emphasized that the mother plays a big part in Wren's targeting.
Maybe reconsider
Another mom, TikToker Danielle (@douladanielletilley), urged parents to reconsider posting photos of their children online. She said she found a man on Pinterest who commented on a photo of Wren. His entire Pinterest is pins of children's feet.
They agree that it was the creep's fault, but these "creeps" are out there and are not leaving soon. "And it is your job as a parent to protect your child."
Many moms agree that Jacquelyn is well aware of the discourse and accuses her of catering her posts to adult male viewers.
