Kim Kardashian West has endured scrutiny over the years where her Parenting Skills are concerned, but the latest accusation against her seems to go beyond the pale. The mother of two is facing contempt regarding the rumor that she left her extremely ill child alone in the hospital while she partied the night away with her husband, Kanye West. As usual, the world is ready to stand as judge and jury against her.
Kim Kardashian is angered by the rumors
Apparently, her two-year-old son, Saint West, was recently so ill he was required to be rushed to the hospital in an ambulance.
It was determined he suffered from a severe bout of pneumonia. According to CNN, a representative of the family confirmed that the little boy was admitted on Wednesday and released the following Saturday, December 30.
On New Year's Eve, the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star snapped some selfies as she celebrated the holiday with her husband and some friends. A flurry of backlash followed as concerned citizens assumed Kim and Kanye ignored the needs of their sick baby while heading out for a night of fun. Kim adamantly denied these claims, pointing to the fact that Saint was sleeping when the celebrating began. Going even further, she revealed that she and her husband hosted the festivities at their own home.
Taking to Twitter, she addressed the rumors, setting the record straight and retweeting a message which defended her devotion as a mother.
I haven't heard this BUT lets get this straight. I did not leave my son for one minute during his hospital stay. We were there Wednesday night to Saturday. NYE WAS SUNDAY NIGHT. People came over when he was already asleep for the night! Don't even try me when it comes to my kids https://t.co/wrl47awaUr

why do people continuously think KimYe were “partying” New years Eve while saint was at the hospital? Kim & Kanye love their kids so much, so to even THINK they werent around when Saint was sick is really stupid af. Yal love to hate Kim, just to hate her, its dumb at this point!

Kim Kardashian's baby is recovering well
Saint West may have had a terrifying ordeal, in what Kim called a "challenging" end to 2017, but the little guy is resilient and well on his way to good health.
It is not the first time, and likely will not be the last, that Kardashian's parenting is called into question. Since she became a mom four years ago, she has been called out for numerous infractions from misusage of car seats to leaving drugs out around her children.
Last July, a selfie showed what appeared to be a line of cocaine on a table top in the background.
At the time, Kardashian claimed it must have been simply sugar spilled from pixie sticks.
She swore the rumors were untrue, but the outcry did not dissipate until Mrs. West returned to the hotel room where the photo was taken. She found that the table top was made of marble, and what appeared to be a line of cocaine (or sugar) was actually just part of the marble pattern.
Say what you want about Kim Kardashian West, but there's no denying her claws will come out like a tiger mama defending her cubs when challenged about the role she plays in the lives of her children.
