TikTok prankster ‘Mizzy’ received a visit from his local authorities after posting a photo of himself holding his baby upside down joking that netizens shouldn’t call child services on him.
Mizzy’s videos included a wealth of shocking practical jokes, such aswalking into strangers’ homes,destroying convenience stores,and evenbreaking into the cab of a trainand fiddling with its controls — all content that was posted online for viewers to see.
The TikToker was hit with atwo-year criminal behavior orderandsentenced to 18 weeks’ detentionthanks to his prank videos. While he fell off the map later in the year, it looks like he’s back in the limelight thanks to a post he made on Twitter/X earlier this month.
On April 3, Mizzyposted a photoof himself holding his infant child upside-down by the leg, captioning the picture: “Don’t call child services, my baby loves me.”
It’s clear that netizens didn’t heed his plea, as child protective services reportedly paid a visit to the prankster after his post caught users’ attention.
In astatement to the Daily Staron April 10, Mizzy confirmed that the Twitter account was indeed his, and said that he received a visit from officers on a welfare check thanks to his post.
“I posted it with that caption for a reason because I knew people were going to say something because they can’t keep my name out their mouth,” he told the Star. “Police actually did come to my house like three days ago to do a welfare check, as someone actually reported the picture to social services.”

“At that point I actually started laughing, because my child is loved and well looked after, and they saw that, so they left. They asked to speak to my baby’s mum and she told them the same thing, as we are trying to co-parent better.”
Despite the outrage surrounding his previous content, Mizzy claims that he’s turned over a new leaf, telling the Star in a previous interview that he’s laying low and focusing on “looking after his child” while he plans his next big “comeback.”
