The chilling reason why an Aussie influencer was forced to take down an innocent photo of her baby son – and it’s a warning to ALL parents who post pictures of their children online
An Aussie influencer has been forced to delete an innocent photo of her newborn son after her followers warned it could potentially be misused by predators.
Chloe Szepanowski, 24, had shared a picture on Instagram of herself with her baby son Sunny, who was naked but with his private parts blurred out.
The photo was supposed to convey an ‘earth mum’ vibe, but concerned fans warned Ms Szepanowski that technology exists to remove Photoshop blurs.

Ms Szepanowski swiftly deleted the photo then thanked her followers for making her aware of the potential risks when posting photos of children online.
‘I wasn’t aware what people do on the dark web. It’s sickening,’ she wrote, according to Outspoken the Podcast, which documents the lives of influencers.
‘I hate the world we live in. The world is so grossly sexualised now,’ she added.

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

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