A WOMAN has hit back at nasty trolls who said her daughter is ‘better off dead’ because she claims Universal Credit.
Skye Whatmore, from the UK, took to social media addressing the nasty comments.
One of the crueller comments that the mum responded to read: “She probs does with her f***ing Universal Credit and child support.
“The kid’s better off dead.”
Shocked by the comment, Skye highlighted it in a video and said: “I don’t think she is.”
Speaking on her young daughter’s progress she revealed she was ‘the happiest little girl you could ever meet’ and was making great progress crawling, standing up and talking at just eight months old.
Skye then showed her gorgeous little girl playing around on the floor, all smiles for the camera.
Addressing the hateful comments on her using benefits to help support her family Skye revealed her partner still works.
She said: “I’m on Universal Credit, I’ve got a house, not a council house, I’ve got a private rented house.
“So I’m on UC to pay my bills and my rent, don’t get child support because her dad works.
“I only get universal credit because I was in college, I was 17 when I gave birth.
“So keep your s****y opinions to yourself.”
But the mum revealed she would much rather being a council house than receive the benefits to pay her private rent, adding it provides much more security.
The clip posted to her TikTok account @skyewhatmore03 went viral.
Dozens of people took to the comments telling to mum to ignore the haters.
One person wrote: “Girl don’t listen to them, she’s beautiful and your doing an amazing job!”
Another commented: “I can’t explain how angry that comment has made me. No child is better off dead. No words. Vile vile cretin.”
“Who makes comments like that about a baby, they need help,” penned a third.
How much Universal Credit can you get?
