The video lists some negative comments Baby Chanco has received as a result of her fame, such as why she "can't be normal" and that she looks "weird", questioning why her mother doesn't "cut [Chanco's] hair to look like other babies", and worst of all, saying "I really want to cut it off". 

But it's all okay in the end, because Baby Chanco's mother loves her no matter how she looks <3
