A former criminal turned self-styled kindness influencer has been slammed by a group of mothers who have labelled his videos 'creepy' - and are determined to expose his violent past.

Calum Fentie, 32, from the NSW Central Coast, often shares videos of himself giving mystery presents to people or hiding gifts for one of his 170,000 followers to find.

But some locals have raised concerns about other content on his TikTok account, including asking women if they are single and referring to himself in his bio as 'TOP SHAGGER'. The Daily Mail does not suggest the women are underage.

Concerned mothers claim his target audience consists of teenagers who may be impressed by his large online following but less aware of his criminal history.

But Fentie, known as 'calummmm' on TikTok and 'CalumWithKindness' on other platforms, rejects the criticism, insisting to the Daily Mail that he is simply trying to brighten people's days through acts of kindness.

In a bizarre twist, less than 20 minutes after being contacted by the Mail, Fentie appeared to get ahead of an unflattering story by 'hard-launching' a new relationship.

He uploaded a photo of himself with a woman and declared he had 'found my queen'.

The image was hashtagged 'wife' and linked to an inactive account based in Iraq. One of his followers asked, 'Is this AI?' and he responded: 'Noo.'

Still, the post did little to silence his critics on other corners of the internet.

One concerned mother, who wished to remain anonymous, expressed concerns about Fentie's online content in a local community group.

'He often approaches single women walking along the beach, offering them a sweet note before trying to get their phone number,' the mum said.

She went on to describe a video featuring three young women in bikinis - 'possibly at Terrigal' - whom Fentie approached with a note, then said, 'Now you're all going to give me your numbers,' as he handed them his phone.

'They didn't do it, but they were laughing and giggling and probably knew who he was from TikTok,' added the mother.

The same concerned woman stated that Fentie had revealed in a previous video that he had once been in jail.

'I did a little Google search and was pretty shocked,' she said.

Fentie's admissions about his time in prison aren't empty talk. He was jailed in 2015 for stabbing three teenagers at a Sydney home, allegedly injuring a 16-year-old so badly that part of his lung had to be removed.

He was 21 at the time and had gatecrashed the house party by scaling the back fence and avoiding security before brandishing a knife.

Fentie stabbed Brandon Marsh, 18, who required abdominal surgery, as well as two minors aged 16 and 17.

Police were called to the Warrawee address on Sydney's Upper North Shore in the early hours and Mr Fentie was charged later in the day.

All three victims were taken to Royal North Shore Hospital.

That crime was more than a decade ago, but court documents seen by the Daily Mail show Fentie has appeared in court a further 55 times for various other matters since.

His most recent court appearance was over drug charges in April 2022 for possessing and supplying a prohibited drug.

He was fined $800 and sentenced to a 12-month community correction order.

Some locals say his criminal history made them question his flirtatious interactions with young women and reinvention as a 'kindness influencer'.

An online community post criticising Fentie sparked a fierce debate, with some arguing he had the right to move on from his past; however, not everyone agreed.

One parent said they were so rattled by one of Fentie's stunts involving a young woman that they 'made a police report' but it did not amount to anything because 'no law was broken'.

Another person questioned whether the pretence of kindness was simply his way of 'feeding his ego and gaining attention'.

The Daily Mail contacted Fentie seeking a response to the claims circulating about him online, some of which we have chosen not to publish.

He denied the allegations, saying they were merely rumours and were unfair.

'As a social media influencer, I interact with a broad audience that includes people of different ages and backgrounds,' he told the Mail.

'I try to brighten people's days through my content with various acts of kindness and humour.

'I do my best to bring positivity into the community with good intentions.

'The rumours circulating are outrageous and very hurtful as they are false and misleading.

'It's unfair because these are serious comments being made.'

It was after issuing this response to the Mail that Fentie posted the 'hard launch' with a young woman who he later confirmed was not AI.
