Pink calls out YouTuber for exploiting their 14-year-old daughter

“Kids trying to be thirty”

Pink is raising awareness about the danger of allowing kids to use social media.

The mum recently called out a YouTuber for sharing a photo of her teen daughter in a bikini.

The Grammy winner was less than impressed by the social media post.

She wrote: “How many kids like Piper Rockelle are being exploited by their parents? And at what point do the rest of us say … ‘this isn’t okay for a 13-year-old to be posing in a bikini whilst her mother takes the photo?”

Piper Rockelle is only 14-years-old.

The teenager has over 4 million followers on Instagram.

You can create an Instagram once you’re aged 13 or over, but does that mean teenagers like Piper should be sharing their entire lives with millions of strangers?

Pink’s followers completely agreed with her remarks.

One wrote: “Had to google her, the sexualized pictures of her in Google are horrifying! I did a double-take of her age 13??? And her mother takes these pictures of her?? Thank you Pink for bringing attention to this, hopefully, is a wake-up call to people in Hollywood and regulations.”

Another shared: “As a mother, 100% agree with Pink. Thanks for using your platform to speak out for what’s wrong.”

One teacher said: “Trust me, I teach middle school, and there’s no filter. Kids trying to be thirty, but sadly, there’s another whole world out there actually enjoying. Most are now trying to become Internet famous.”

What do you think? Does Pink have a point or is she overreacting?
