Ultimately, the mother of Baby Kap is prioritizing her child’s safety and well-being over her own nostalgia for the sleepovers.
While some may argue that the mother’s paranoia is extreme, others may agree that it is better to err on the side of caution when it comes to the safety of children.

Others suggested a compromise between strict supervision and allowing sleepovers. “Sleepovers only done at OUR place as youngins and then as they get older into teenage years the families gotta be vetted heavily,” commented.
Some parents, however, were adamantly against the idea of sleepovers altogether. “Nope, my son will not be sleeping over anyone’s house. I didn’t grow up going to sleepovers…that’s not really a thing in the Haitian culture,” wrote user.
Despite the differing opinions, many users commended Nessa and other parents for prioritizing their children’s safety over social norms. As one stated, “Good mama’s. Kids will be fine without sleepovers.”
One user even suggested waiting until children are adults before allowing sleepovers, writing, “Sleepovers should happen when a child is 18 and over 🫥”
As parents continue to navigate the ever-changing landscape of child-rearing, it is clear that there is no one-size-fits-all approach. However, the dialogue sparked by Nessa’s video highlights the importance of considering our children’s safety in every decision.
