“Here’s a picture of my child running through water,” the singer, 39, captioned a Monday, July 8, Instagram post of her daughter barefoot in grass wearing a bathing suit. “It wasn’t even filtered. What a waste of water. And no helmet? I hope she had sunscreen. If she slips and falls she may be traumatized for life. And her mother wasn’t even there. I was… gasp…. working!!!! In another country!”

The Grammy winner added, “#f—ktheparentingpolice #ifyoufeelikeunfollowingpleasegodoitquickly #opinionsarelikea—holes #somanya—holes.”

“I like to share my family,” the “Just Give Me a Reason” singer told Ellen DeGeneres at the time. “It’s my proudest moment in my whole life. I’m prouder of my kids than anything I’ve ever done and I just won’t share them anymore. I won’t do it. I’m not posting pictures of them anymore. [Willow is] 7 now. It’s probably best to pull her back from the world and just let her live her best life.”

She added, “There’s a kind way to be online. I’m open to kindness. … There’s a way to do things. And that mean stuff, that ain’t it.”
