Danielle continued, stating that she and husband, Jensen, had purposely chosen to keep their kid’s face of the internet in-order to respect a choice he isn’t old enough to make.

:

“We (Danielle and Jensen) are two people who made a conscious choice to be in the public eye and share what would normally be private moments with the public. Adler (new baby) isn’t capable of making that choice for himself, and until he is, we’ve decided to shield him –”

The mother also expressed regret over the decision, stating that it “sucks” not to be able to share her baby’s pictures. She went ahead to give candid reasons.

:

“1. His safety. There are weirdos out there – “,

and:

“2. Putting pictures and facts about him onto the internet that he doesn’t have any say in. I’d like for him to be able to create his own footprint on the internet in the future”.

After which, she gave instances of things she’d like her son to experience without the pressure of what’s on the web.
