The actress is accused of 'degrading' her son, whom she adopted from South Africa, and 'confusing' him by making him wear a dress and a long braid.

AceShowbiz - Charlize Theron probably made her son happy by letting him dress like his favorite character. However, the internet wasn't too pleased when some photos emerged earlier this week showing 4-year-old Jackson wearing a dress paired with a hat completed with a long Elsa braid when he's out and about with his mom.

A bunch of people have taken to Twitter to criticize Theron's parenting skill. Some of them think that the actress' "degrading" the boy, whom she adopted in 2012 from South Africa. Some others claim that she's "confusing" her son by making him wear the costume.
"Is @CharlizeAfrica crazy?? What kind of parent does this to a child?? Why would you adopt this young black boy and then degrade him??" @lesboja1978 wrote. "Why did Charlize Theron have her little 5 year old boy in a dress and wig? He's too young to know what a transgender is. She's confusing him," @MadamSophie88 added.

However, not everyone's upset over the photo. Some other Twitter users showed support for her and even praised her for allowing her son to do what he likes. "The tweets regarding Charlize Theron's son dressing up as Elsa from frozen are disgusting, small minded and verging on homo/transphobic," @LXONR said. "Charlize Theron's son wanted to dress up as Elsa. Great parenting. Your kid can do what they like, its not gonna 'make them gay,' " @JamesGreeney added.
