The British parents who share their lives online faced serious backlash.

A YouTube family who share their lives online have been slammed after they left their four-month-old baby on the beach alone so they could swim in the sea.

In the clip which was uploaded this week, Chris and Sarah Ingham leave their baby son, Jace, strapped into a seat inside a baby shade tent on a beach in Spain, where they’re on holiday.

They then spend 10 minutes swimming around the sea in Salou, The Sun reports.

Speaking in the video, Chris said: “So while Jace is strapped in his sleep fast asleep, we’re getting some rare five seconds of family time right now in the sea.”

Angry reactions.

One, named only as Emma, said: “The Ingham Family left their 4 month old baby unattended on the beach while they all went swimming in the sea. Who the f is that irresponsible? It takes seconds for someone to snatch a child.”

Chris reportedly later snapped back at commenters on Instagram, telling them to “wind their neck in”.

Speaking to The Sun, he said: “While Jace was asleep and strapped into his sleep chair, which was placed inside a UV baby shade on the shore of the beach no more than a few feet from where we were cooling off at the sea edge, myself, my wife Sarah and our girls — Isabelle, Esmé and Isla — cooled ourselves off together in the sea at the water’s edge.

“Literally no more than a few feet away from Jace at any one time.

“This footage included in our video — which is where the ‘outrage’ is coming from — was also filmed on a wide angle camera lens, which, as you should know, distorts distance and makes things look much further away from the camera than they actually are.”
