Madonna’s son Rocco Ritchie has shocked his Instagram followers by sharing a deeply disturbing video of what appears to be children being executed.
The video- which looks like it was filmed in the Middle East- shows a group of young boys being killed by firing squad.

The shocking footage does not obey Instagram’s strict guidelines on violent content, but at the time of writing has yet to be taken down.
Rocco, 14, shared the clip with the caption: "I think if your still being a d**k to people, I would stop.
"We've got a little worse of a problem on are hands here guys. We don't need more negative a** holes here."
The Queen of pop’s teenage son was, understandably, met with criticism for posting the brutal video, with parents in particular sharing their concern.
One follower wrote: "A 14 year old boy really shouldn't be watching & posting things like this. Very disturbing."

Another commented: “Sorry but I did not want to witness this.. And neither did my 14 year old daughter who follows you... Think you should have thought about this more carefully... Maybe post a link to the video if peoplewished to view it…”
Some of the teenager’s followers agreed with him posting the video, praising him for bringing such incidents to the public’s attention.
One supporter wrote: "I applause you for raising awareness [sic]," whilst another said: "Good sentiment but maybe not the best video,"
One predicted that the video would eventually be removed, commenting: "Funny thing is that this is going to be taken down by Instagram because of the user guidelines, but this is exactly the kind of stuff the world needs to witness."
Instagram’s guidelines state: "You may not post violent, nude, partially nude, discriminatory, unlawful, infringing, hateful, pornographic or sexually suggestive photos or other content via the Service."
Do you think Rocco should have shared this video?
