“Sick And Disturbing”: Justin Bieber’s Dad Slammed For Posting 6-Year-Old Daughter’s Bikini Pics

Social media accounts that feature children are prime targets for predators, according to professionals.

“[Instagram is] commonly known to be a leading site visited by pedophiles looking for images of children,” Lori Cohen, CEO of Protect All Children from Trafficking, informed Daily Mail.

She added, “A parent would not set loose their bikini-clad child in a room full of pedophiles. Why would they post an image of that same child online where they will potentially be viewed and — even more frightening — contacted by many thousands of them?”

The New York Times launched an investigation in February of this year, focusing on 5,000 Instagram accounts that featured children and were managed by parents.

The newspaper showed that many of these profiles drew the attention of “men sexually attracted to children” and tracked exchanges on Telegram—an encrypted communication platform—where “men openly fantasize about sexually abusing the children they follow on Instagram.”
