Kim Kardashian and North West can’t seem to stay out of headlines these days, with North constantly acting out and Kim receiving backlash for not having more of a handle on her. From dressing far older than a normal 12-year-old does, to getting finger piercings, refusing to pose in family Christmas photos, and now spending time wandering around New York City with little to no adult supervision, North has not made it easy for the single mother-of-four.

Kim Kardashian Slammed For North West’s NYC Outings

On New Year’s Eve, North West, 12, was spotted in New York City with friends, though one of those “friends” included rapper Babyxsosa, who is 25 years old—more than double North’s age. North posted a photo with the rapper at Rockefeller Center on her new Instagram account. Babyxososa also posted a number of photos of North on her story throughout the day.

Now, Kim Kardashian, who was nowhere to be seen, is catching heat for allowing her pre-teen daughter to not only wander the city streets without supervision, but also for letting her hang out with people who are nowhere near her age group.

Social Media Reactions

Across social media platforms, including Reddit, many people are taking issue with Kim Kardashian's parenting style, and are calling her out for it. "It’s disturbing to me how North is always out and about by herself," one person wrote. "I don’t care if she has security with her, she is 12 years old!!"

"North needs to be hanging out with middle schoolers, not adults who have jobs and can be old enough to be her mom," another agreed.

"This is way too much for her age," another person said.

"So I guess North just chills with 20 something year olds now..." said a fourth.

"Kim complaining about Kanye being an absent father when she's parenting North like this?" one person pointed out. "Something's not adding up."
