'Violation of their privacy': Kim Kardashian faces backlash for IG pic of North and Chicago asleep
Kim Kardashian drew criticism on social media after publishing photos of her daughters North and Chicago on Instagram. Trolls were quick to attack the actress, alleging that by releasing the photo without the children's consent, she had breached their privacy.
The furor started when Kim shared a photo of her 9-year-old and 4-year-old sleeping soundly together in her bed. The girls were lying under the blankets, their arms adorably entwined around each other. North wore a grey t-shirt, and Chicago looked comfortable in pink pajamas with a LOL theme. Both had their dark hair pushed back away from their faces. The sisters were unaware that their mother was filming them, but she couldn't resist capturing the heartwarming scene.

Kim's caption read: "Woke up this morning to see my girls asleep in my bed like this! Nothing better!" While many of her supporters were thrilled to see the precious connection between her children, some were offended by the photo.
One user commented in a thread: "I'm sorry but this is a private moment for her and her children maybe to a fake Insta but to post this to hundreds of millions of people? No such a violation of their privacy."
Similar sentiments were expressed by another, who said, "I think it's disgusting the way they constantly post their kids when they are literally at their most vulnerable, when they are asleep. Imagine not even being able to take a nap in your own bed without having to fear that your pic will be taken and shared with millions of people, having your privacy IN YOUR bed being shat on."
A third expressed sympathy for the young children, stating, "This would make me mad as the kid, I used to hate when my mom posted me on Facebook without saying anything." Another commenter stated: "Kim uses her children as an extension of herself, these photos are specifically so we all buy into the Kim is a super mom b*******."
Someone pointed out: "Your child’s right to privacy should come before your pride and ego." while another added: "Stop posting your kids ugh." Kim and her ex-husband Kanye West, 45, share two girls and two boys, Saint, 6, and Psalm, 3.
