First she thanked the other moms and fans who also slammed the trolls, questioning people who criticize children.

\"I am a proud mama bear and I enjoy sharing our family journey with my family, friends, fans, and online supportive and loyal community,\" she wrote. \"And, thank you to all the #mamabears out there. We always have each other’s backs!\"

Then she addressed the negative comments head-on.

\"For all the individuals on here that felt the need to #momshame and #kidshame me and my children I say 'Shame on you!'\" she added. \"I was raised to believe that if you can’t say anything nice about someone then don’t say anything at all. The judgement here should be on your manners. Empowerment goes both ways. Lift others up and you in turn lift yourself up. #kindness #love #life #endcyberbullying.\"

There was a resounding metaphoric applause from others in the comments section, who continue to support Spelling and slam those attacking kids.

\"Shame on you. Who hurt you that you have so much evil in your heart?\" one wrote, while another added, \"Such happy kids! Enjoy the first day of school!!!\"

The majority of the comments have been positive, but every so often there's one backing up the criticism. Every time that happens the community on Spelling's page calls that person out and tries to fight back with positivity.

\"Tori, I’ve never commented on a celebrity’s post....i barely comment on friends’ and family’s! Lol....but I felt the need to show you that most normal people are not judging you like some awful commenters here. I see 4 beautiful, happy, healthy and loved children who I’m sure had a great first day of school,\" one woman wrote.
