Kim Kardashian Fears Daughter North will be Victim of Online Abuse
Reality TV queen Kim Kardashian lives in terror that her daughter could be stalked by cyber-bullies.
Although it's a long way off, Kardashian revealed her dread when 13-month-old North gets to grip with social media accounts such as Twitter and Instagram.
''I would really hate for the day my daughter has to get on social media because the comments, it's like cyber bullying. Sometimes they can be so negative." Kardashian told MTV.
"They can be really uplifting too, that's why sometimes I need motivation to work out or ask for a different hair colour, they can be super positive, but it does suck when they are negative.''
The celebrity, who has over 22 million Twitter followers, has also turned her thoughts to racism.
She wrote on her blog:"To be honest, before I had North, I never really gave racism or discrimination a lot of thought.
"But recently, I've read and personally experienced some incidents that have sickened me and made me take notice. I realize that racism and discrimination are still alive, and just as hateful and deadly as they ever have been."
Kardashian is keen to challenge and change the negative views that some people have on sexual orientation, race and gender. "I feel a responsibility as a mother, a public figure, a human being, to do what I can to make sure that not only my child, but all children, don't have to grow up in a world where they are judged by the color of their skin, or their gender, or their sexual orientation."
She went on to say on her website: "I will NOT tolerate bullying of any form on my blog or on my Facebook. Anyone who threatens another fan, or thinks that it is ok to bully someone else will be blocked and banned immediately.
"Online bullying is one of the biggest challenges facing children and young adults in America and I personally am taking a stand against it."
