Hitting back: Sunrise newsreader Edwina Bartholomew has revealed how an innocent video of her one-year-old daughter, Molly, sparked a 'mum war' on Facebook
'A mum on Facebook accused me of endangering my child, by letting her play with an object that in another context would have been dangerous,' she wrote.
'From the tone of the post, you'd think I'd let me daughter chop apart a doll with a sharpened carving knife, or drive the car home.'
The video in question, which Edwina posted on Instagram on April 13, showed Molly studying her own reflection in the stainless steel kettle, wooden alarm clock before looking up at her mother and smiling.
Edwina responded to her troll by saying she felt she was doing the right thing by letting her daughter play with the kitchen appliance.
