So, the story goes that yes, they found out their family dog was really sick, and yes the son in the video, and perhaps even the mom cried real tears at the news BUT the mom decided to use it as a video opportunity for her YouTube channel (which has since been taken down). She is recording herself coaching her son on how to looks sad and dramatic for the thumbnail of the video. Looks like she mistakenly uploaded the entire session, so the world saw how she was treating her kid like a prop in her supposed chase for internet fame.
Of course, the clip quickly went viral on social media, with people slamming the mom and calling her actions “disgusting.” Jordan returned shortly after with an apology video in which she said, “it was so disgusting of me, I should not have done that at all,” adding “I re-watched it and you guys are completely right.” She also said that she would not be including her son in future YouTube content, and announced she would “fully taking a step back from social media.”
