A TEENAGER has been trolled for becoming a mum at 17, with people reckoning she's simply after benefits.
One social media user took to TikTok to share a heart-warming video between her, her baby and a 16-year-old who's desperate to become a mum too.
In the short clip, which has since taken the internet by storm, racking up more than 266k views in less than a week, the young mum could be seen dancing in a bikini with her baby tucked in her arms.
''17-year-old that has a baby,'' read the text as the redhead showed her best dance moves.
The camera then turned to another teenager, with the caption reading: ''16-year-old that wants a baby.''
However, whilst the duo might've not thought much of it, the video has gone viral, with loads of trolls flocking to comments.
