A mother has sparked outrage after sharing a picture of her daughter 'taking a knee' while holding a placard stating 'privileged' with an arrow pointing up at her child.
Helen Leathem, from London, posted a picture of her daughter kneeling on their doorstep while holding a poster with 'privileged' in rainbow letters and an arrow pointing upwards alongside '#blacklivesmatter'.
She tweeted the picture captioned: 'My daughter helping to show our solidarity #TakeTheKnee' which she accompanied with a raised fist emoji.
The post, which went on to be shared by another Twitter user Sydney Watson, quickly went viral online, with many people criticising Helen for the image.
However people responded to the mother's decision and claimed that the child was not old enough to know the meaning behind the message.
Dr Karlyn Borysenko tweeted: 'I sincerely hope this mother just did this for a photo op and the kid doesn’t actually know what any of this means.
