Abu Dhabi: A social media influencer sparked controversy by publishing pictures of her son wearing women’s clothes and makeup, Saudi media reported.
The celebrity’s offences necessitated the intervention of Saudi Arabia’s Domestic Violence Reports Centre, and she was summoned by the Public Prosecution for investigation and legal action.
Khaled Al Fakhri, legal adviser and secretary-general of the National Society for Human Rights, said if the behaviour was repeated and systematic against the child, the child protection laws would be applied, and other measures taken, up to removing him to an alternative family, or placing him in a shelter designated by the Ministry of Human Resources and social development.
