A British Youtuber family have been slammed after leaving their baby on the beach alone so they could swim in the sea.
Chris and Sarah Ingham shared a clip with their 1.25million followers showing their four-month-old Jace strapped to seat inside a baby shade tent on a Spanish beach, while the rest of the family splash around in the water.
The fresh scandal comes a year after Chris, 35, hit headlines when he was accused of sending sexual messages to teenage fans.

Another said: ‘ Is anyone actually surprised that a woman who’s still in a relationship with an online predator left her baby on a beach on its own? Obviously no one is surprised that Chris I-prey-on-vulnerable-kids Ingham left his child cos yknow, he’s a horrible weirdo’
A third wrote: ‘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.
A fourth commented: ‘Things were calming down, people were backing off, then the stupid video yesterday and showing you left the baby on the beach alone, you blew it. You couldn’t just shut up! You deserve what you get now’

The new scandal comes just a day the family said subscribers had reported them to social services for selling a replica doll of their baby son
It comes just a day after the ‘wholesome’ family made a video claiming subscribers had reported them to social services for selling a replica doll of their baby son.
Sarah later posted messages on Instagram saying people need to ‘mind their own business’ and ‘stop making it their job to criticise others’.
She said that they were in the water with daughters Isabelle, Esmé and Isla
‘Jace was right in front of us, it looked further away because we were filming on a wide angle go pro camera, everyone who uses them know how much they make everything look much further away’ he wrote.
‘We never took our eyes away from him and he wasn’t ‘left alone’ – he was in front of us whilst we spent literally 10 minutes in the water cooling off!
Sarah later posted messages on Instagram saying people need to ‘mind their own business’ and ‘stop making it their job to criticise others’. While images shared on Twitter showed Chris allegedly telling people to ‘get a grip’ after criticising the family
‘No need for big drama!’
One eagle-eyed viewer later said Chris had mentioned in an earlier video that the Go Pro had been left at home, to which Sarah replied: ‘That is true, I got it wrong, it was the normal DSLR camera on a wide angle lens.
‘There’s no big conspiracy here, no “oooh, she told a lie”, none of that.’
Last year, Chris denied claims that he had sent sexual messages to fans as young as 16.

He was accused of sending fans with ‘seedy’ messages – even allegedly asking one 16-year-old to ‘sneak out’ of her mother’s hotel room to meet him in the middle of the night.
And in another sexually charged message, he reportedly sent a picture of himself to a 19-year-old asking her to send a naked one in return after claiming he could make her a star.
The Ingham Family channel, which boasts more than 445 million views, regularly includes lengthy videos showcasing the everyday trials and tribulations of modern family life.
One fan, 16-year-old Jess Simpson, from Sussex, revealed that he had tried to lure her from her hotel while she holidayed with family in Florida last October.
After meeting Bella Fearn, from Staffordshire, during a trip to Alton Towers where she worked, Ingham began sending lurid messages to her – asking her to drop her towel and send nudes
Visiting Disneyland with her parents, Ingham – who was staying in the same hotel – sent Jess private messages on Twitter calling her ‘mega pretty’ and telling her ‘I bet I can make you feel a lot better about things’, and, ‘if you can sneak out without waking anyone then deffo come meet me!’
Later, he asked if she was home alone and told her he was ‘coming over for a party’ and that he wanted to go ‘skinny dipping’.
They never met in person but Jess eventually told her mum about the messages.
In a separate incident, Ingham told a 19-year-old that she had a ‘banging bod’ and said he wanted to offer her help into the industry.
After meeting Bella Fearn, from Staffordshire, during a trip to Alton Towers where she worked, Ingham began sending lurid messages to her – asking her to drop her towel and send nudes.
In one message, he said: ‘Bottom line, I like you. And I like helping people. And I have the powers and the people to help turn yourself into a massive role model to thousands on Instagram and maybe even YouTube too.’
Various screen-grabbed images of Ingham’s alleged messages have since been shared online, including one purporting to show him having ‘unliked’ various photos of girls.
In another message, seemingly sent from his account, he appeared to threaten a girl he had slept with with being sued for £250,000 for breaking a non-disclosure agreement.
