Sir David Beckham has spoken out after his son Brooklyn’s bombshell social media posts accusing his family of being ‘controlling.’
Speaking live on CNBC’s financial program Squawk Box, Sir David said today: ‘I have always spoken about social media and the power of social media . . . For the good and for the bad.
‘What kids can access these days, it can be dangerous. But what I have found personally, especially with my kids as well, use it for the right reasons.
‘I’ve been able to use my platform for my following, for UNICEF. And it has been the biggest tool to make people aware of what’s going on around the world for children.
‘And I have tried to do the same with my children, to educate them.
‘They make mistakes, but children are allowed to make mistakes. That is how they learn. That is what I try to teach my kids, you sometimes have to let them make those mistakes as well.’
