“Y’all keep saying, attend to my baby.” That was Chrisean Rock’s response after a video went viral showing her infant son, Chrisean Jesus Porter, crying alone in a car while she prepared for an online event in Los Angeles. The moment, captured during a Twitch livestream and later amplified by DJ Akademiks on X on June 19, 2025, triggered an avalanche of public backlash, racking up over 1.2 million views in less than 24 hours.
The video, shared under the tag #ChriseanBaby, didn’t just document the moment it ignited a broader conversation about influencer accountability and child welfare in the age of digital fame.
The incident occurred on June 18, 2025, during preparations for the highly anticipated “Streamer Prom”, a Twitch-centered event where popular internet personalities gather in real life. Chrisean Rock known for her reality TV fame and turbulent relationship with rapper Blueface was livestreaming from her Los Angeles home when she asked a Twitch employee to “put the baby in the car.”
“I’m gonna put a baby in the car. Is that okay? Do you mind taking him to the car? Thank you.”
She was overheard saying this during a phone call with Blueface. After the employee complied, Rock continued the stream while remaining inside.
Moments later, four Twitch employees unidentified but clearly concerned discussed the situation. One eventually confirmed: “The baby is still out there crying, alone.”
Rock defended herself in real time and later on social media. She insisted the child wasn’t neglected, saying:
“I am attending to my baby. That’s why I have certain people here.” “Tell me to attend to my baby while I’m working?”
She also added,
“Put prayer hands, y’all. Everybody that loves me in the chat.”
However, critics argue the livestream clearly shows her priorities were elsewhere—especially during a moment when she told Blueface,
“I’m not busy. I’m not busy. I’m not busy.”
For a lot of viewers, this wasn’t just a case of one mom screwing up. It laid bare the raw nature of livestreaming platforms such as Twitch, which is owned by Amazon, where the most intimate moments of people’s lives good and bad can be viewed by thousands.
Twitch, which made its name as a platform for people to broadcast themselves playing video games and for digital events, has been transformed into a stage for lifestyle content and celebrities. But when livestreams venture into actual parenting, the line between entertainment and responsibility gets fuzzier.
Online reaction was swift and heated. Many called the act child neglect, referencing CDC statistics that 1 in 7 U.S. children experience some form of neglect before age 18.

Others pointed to the broader issue of parental responsibility among influencers. One comment, which gained thousands of likes, read:
“At this point, Blueface looks like the responsible parent.”
Meanwhile, Twitch users criticized the platform itself for enabling irresponsible content:
“Why are Twitch employees even present at events where children are being left in cars?”
one viewer posted.
While no legal action has been reported as of June 19, 2025, the incident adds to Rock’s growing list of controversies. She and Blueface, who officially split the same day, have often aired grievances about parenting publicly.
This latest viral clip throws a harsh spotlight on the pressures of balancing fame, motherhood, and digital visibility. It also serves as a cautionary tale about how livestreaming can both reveal and magnify real-world mistakes.
As one Twitch employee was heard muttering off-camera:
“Y’all act like that. Y’all don’t even know what’s going on.”
But now, the internet surely does.
