An Australian influencer has been forced to delete an innocent photo of her newborn son after her followers warned that it could be abused by predators.
Chloe Szepanowski, 24, had shared a photo on Instagram of herself with her son Sunny, who was naked but had his genitals blurred.
The photo was supposed to give off an ‘earth mum’ vibe, but concerned fans warned Ms. Szepanowski that technology exists to remove Photoshop blurs.

Ms. Szepanowski quickly removed the photo and thanked her followers for raising awareness of the potential risks of posting pictures of children online.
“I didn’t know what people do on the dark web. It’s nauseating,” she wrote Candidly the podcastthat documents the lives of influencers.
‘I hate the world we live in. The world is so grossly sexualized now,” she added.

Ms. Szepanowski and her long-term partner Mitchell Orval, 25, became parents for the second time when they welcomed Sunny in September.
The couple already has a two-year-old son named Arti.
It comes after Ms. Szepanowski revealed in June that she’d had a “difficult pregnancy” this time around.

“This pregnancy has been really tough, if I’m being very honest,” she wrote on Instagram.
“I’m so blessed to be pregnant and can’t wait for him to be here. But it’s been a struggle!’
Chloe added that she was “exhausted,” both “mentally and physically.”
