Who Is The Harris Family On TikTok And What Are The Allegations Against Them? Allanah Harris' 'Child Abuse' Rumor Explained
Two Australian influencers who are the parents of the Harris family on TikTok are being accused by internet users of child abuse, possibly inflicting Munchausen syndrome by proxy (which, if you recall, is infamously related to the case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard) on their youngest daughter Daisy.
The story is coming out of Queensland and many are convinced that the unnamed mother in local news reports is Allanah Harris. If true, then her husband, Brock Harris, is claiming that he was unaware of the abuse inflicted on his child who's been hospitalized with a brain tumor for the past few months.
So, who is the Harris family? Who is Allanah Harris and why are people accusing her of child abuse? Let's explain.
Who Are The Harris Family On TikTok?
The Harris family posts content to their TikTok page @the.harris.familyy, which has been deactivated this week. The parents are Allanah and Brock Harris who have four children, the most recent of which is Daisy.
In 2024, Daisy was diagnosed with a brain tumor which required surgery a few months ago. The little girl suffers from seizures and other horrendous symptoms.
Much of the Harris family's TikTok presence focuses on parenting. Of course, ever since Daisy's diagnosis, much of their content has centered on their baby girl's condition. They even started a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for her operation.
@theharrisfamilytruth Forced crying? Induced medical seziure also? 🤷♀️ I hope all kids are looked into properly. 💔 #theharrisfamily #fyp #update ♬ original sound – theharrisfamilytruth
What's Allanah Harris Being Accused Of?
The mother, Allanah Harris, is being accused of deliberately poisoning Daisy to cause her brain tumor. The serious accusation is being levied en masse on TikTok and Reddit across reaction videos and viral threads.
Much of the speculation centers on local Australian news coverage like the Daily Telegraph reporting on a "High profile Queensland woman" being investigated "over claims she was drugging her child." The article didn't reveal the woman's name due to the age of the child involved.
However, this hasn't stopped the internet from spreading the rumor that it's Allanah Harris in question.

What Did Brock Harris Allegedly Post On Snapchat?
Much of the speculation centers on an alleged Snapchat story that the father, Brock Harris, posted on Monday. A screenshot of the story has spread on Reddit and TikTok across viral posts and videos.
If it was truly posted by Harris himself, then the father is claiming that he did not know about his wife's abuse. The Snapchat story calls the mother a "monster" too.
According to reporting by Daily Mail, the publication cited a Snapchat story involved in the case in which the father called the mother a "monster." Although unconfirmed, the similarity between the reporting and the alleged Harris Snapchat story is uncanny.
