Stardom may be taking over Honey Boo Boo Child's life a little faster than anyone could have anticipated. The family of the seven-year-old beauty queen at the center of TLC's reality hit, "Here Comes honey Boo Boo Child" has reportedly hired a 24-hour bodyguard due to an alleged kidnapping plot.

Someone has reportedly been calling the pint-sized star's school in rural McIntyre, Ga., and threatening to abduct her, according to The Enquirer. Concerned with the calls, as well as a recent break-in at the family homestead, "Mama" June Shannon has hired a full-time bodyguard to protect Honey Boo Boo Child, real name Alana.

Since it premiered in August, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," which follows the life of former "Toddles & Tiaras" star Alana Thompson and her family, has become a nationwide phenomenon with more than 2.1 million viewers tuning into its Sept. 13 episode. The show even topped all individual cable and network broadcasts of the Republican National Convention on Aug. 19 with a 1.3 rating with adults 18-49.

"June is terrified," said a source The Enquirer. "With the threats on Alana's safety increasing, security is being provided for her around the clock."

The family is hoping it's all just a cruel prank, but they're afraid Alana's celebrity may have attracted a crazed stalker or maybe even a pedophile, the source added.

"There was a meeting with all the teachers at Alana's school," said the source to The Enquirer. "They have been instructed to keep an eye on Alana, and they know to report anything suspicious immediately."

While the network behind the hit show, TLC, has denied any suggestions of a kidnap plot, "Mama" Shannon, confirmed the full-time protection over Facebook. "Alana doesn't go anywhere without her bodyguard! We have one 24/7 everywhere we go ALL the time," Shannon wrote.

We first reported Sept. 21 that Honey Boo Boo had her own bodyguard, and based on the pictures floating around, this appears to be the same man. Sources have apparently spotted Alana and her new bodyguard all over town lately, from trips to Wal-Mart, to fancy galas at the Rite-Aid.

The beauty queen's home was broken into on Aug. 27 while the family was out of town, Celebuzz confirmed.

When the family returned home, June "Mama" Shannon, contacted local police to report a possible break-in after she noticed something was amiss at the house. The side door of her residence was open, according to the police report. Chief Amerson of the McIntyre Police said the incident was treated as a burglary, but nothing was stolen. "There were no signs of forced entry and nothing was missing," confirmed Amerson.

According to the police report, Alana and her family - comprised of mother "Mama," 33, father Mike "Sugar Bear" Thompson, 40, and sisters Anna "Chickadee" Shannon, 17, Jessica "Chubbs" Shannon, 15, and Lauryn "Pumpkin" Shannon, 12, - have been provided with a security detail by the local police department.

The officer assigned to the family arrived at the home before they returned from their trip, to make sure everything was safe. There, the officer discovered the door leading into the kitchen was left ajar.

Although the door was unlocked, no intruders were actually found inside the home, according to the report.

The report also states that Shannon told police something was wrong when she saw that the kitchen cabinets were open. "The kitchen cabinets were left open and she (Shannon) stated that to her knowledge the doors to the cabinets were closed when they left," says the police report.

"Here Comes Honey Boo Boo Child" has become such a phenomenon for TLC the network recently ordered more "HOLLA-day" episodes, a second season, and tripled the families salary. After reportedly only earning between $5,000 and $7,000 per episode for their series, the Honey Boo Boo Child family will now reportedly pull in between $15,000 and $20,000 an episode.

But don't expect the family to pull up stakes just yet. The Shannon-Thompson clan will be living in their railroad adjacent home for a long time to come. "They've thought about moving, but the problem is that TLC has them locked under contract to keep their lifestyle - and that means they have to stay put," explained the source.
