As parents, we have a simple request to make to you. We want to protect the privacy of our child and we need your help and support.“
“While we will always ensure that you get all the content you need featuring us, we would request you to kindly not take or carry any content that has our child. We know that you will understand where we are coming from and we thank you for the same,” they added.
