The singer posted the father-son picture on Instagram, where fans quickly noticed his unbuttoned jeans. Some users called the detail “inappropriate,” especially with his child in the photo. One critic wrote, “Button your pants and act like a father. You are setting an example.”
Others defended Bieber, arguing people were overreacting. “There’s nothing wrong with this,” one fan said. Another added, “Stop reading into everything—sometimes pants are just unzipped by mistake.” The debate highlights how parenting choices online often attract public scrutiny.

Experts warn that “sharenting,” or posting children’s photos online, carries risks.
