 Hi,
 the comment number return the number of approved comments, this means all
 approved comments even those are replies to unapproved comments, for
 example if a user post comment and people replied to it, then the admin
 decide to hide this parent comment by disapproving it, the comment number
 will decrease only by one and keeping counting the hidden replies

 So there are two option to fix that :
 1. Hold/Disapprove all children when disapproving the parent.
 2. Recalculate the comment number and excluding comments has an unapproved
 parent.

 Regards,
 Sidati
