FANS have slammed Amy Slaton and her sister Amanda after putting young baby Glenn in a dangerous position.

It happened as the family had a crucial discussion about the future.

On the latest episode of 1,000-Lb. Sisters, Amy, Amanda, half-brother Chris and Amy's mom Diane all met in a park to discuss what to do about other sister Tammy, whose release from rehab was delayed after developing an infection in her throat trach.

"We're getting together to talk about Tammy," Amy said during a confessional. "And see what the hell we’re going to do with her this time."

But as the family discussed their options, and what would be best for Tammy, fans couldn't help but notice Amanda holding and feeding Amy's newborn son, Glenn.

Amanda, who has four kids of her own, was helping Amy take care of her child.

However, as Amanda held Glenn, she put her arm under his back, leaving his tiny head unprotected and unsupported.

Newborn babies lack the strength to keep their heads up by themselves, and caretakers are urged to support them there until they gain sufficient neck strength.

Nobody seemed to notice the tot's head leaning back uncomfortably as the family continued to talk.

But fans in a Reddit chat room caught it, and called Amy out for passing her newborn son off to another person.

"Amy's new baby doesn't look healthy," one person worried. "And everyone else but Amy is holding it/feeding it."

Another noted Amanda: "Definitely let his neck flop during the exchange and then didn't support him properly either after."

While a third person argued Amanda was the irresponsible one: "When Amanda was handing over Baby Glenn to Chris so she could go check on Amy, he looked at her and then over to his wife as if he was asking/saying why are you giving him to me, give him to my wife to handle.

"Which first off…wtf? Why automatically look at his wife as an option when the kid's father is RIGHT THERE!"

It's not the first time fans have been worried about Glenn's safety.

The reality star took to her profile on Sunday to post a picture of the little boy strapped into his car seat.

The now eight-month-old wore a green sweater and cuddled with a patchwork blanket as he gave the camera an angry look.

Amy captioned the post: "Happy 8 months baby mama, and gage and everyone love u baby!!!!" as she celebrated the major milestone while notably leaving out mention of her estranged husband, Michael.

But fans were instantly drawn to two spots on the child's head, one next to his left eye, and another across his cheek.

Several took to the comments to speculate about the marks, some wondering if he had been "hurt."

"Did he fall and hurt himself?" one asked, while a second remarked: "Kid looks like he was in a bar fight last night."

"What happened to his cute lil face? That's deeply concerning to me," a third admitted.

other fans defended the mother of two, claiming the child must've accidentally fallen.

"He probably scratched himself," one wrote.

"'The tiny mark is clearly from a common kid injury. He probably fell over or scraped his face on a toy. I checked the comments because I knew you people would be here," a second slammed.

A third suggested: "Looks like someone might need a nail trim. My babies always had scratches and marks. Baby nails are razor blades."

"Holy hell - he's an 8 month old likely learning to walk which often equates to bumps and bruises. Y’all are horrible," a fourth noted.
