A three-year-old boy has been pictured apparently snorting cocaine at his family home in Bulgaria - but his mother insist it was just a 'joke' and the substance was actually flour.
The photo shows the little boy identified as Mladen posing with what appears to be three lines of white power and a tube held to his nose at his home in Sindel in Bulgaria's Varna Province.
After the picture was posted online, it sparked outrage among social media users and there have been calls for the child to be taken into care.
The image was uploaded onto the social media profile of 'Tina Vi Nuri' and was accompanied by the comment 'Mum and dad's little junkie'.

But Nadezhda Nuri, the boy's mother, told local media it was simply a joke and that the photo had been published by their 13-year-old daughter Stiliana.
The mum said the lines on the table were actually flour and that Stiliana had staged a photoshoot with her little brother Mladen in the living room while she cooked in the kitchen.
Mrs Nuri said that she was illiterate and would have been unable to post the picture online herself.
She said: 'My mother first saw the [picture of the] children and called me. I couldn't have done such a thing, I don't even know how to write.
