US Magazine reports the image was taken at an unidentified location where Beyonce took a break from the hectic "The Mrs. Carter World Tour" schedule and spend some quality time with her daughter and husband Jay-Z. Media and health experts are now criticizing the 31-year-old mum for placing her daughter in the hot tub because it is dangerous for the child.

The supposed-to-be innocent black and white picture shows the ever-fashionable Beyonce wearing a leopard-print head scarf and huge sunglasses with Blue Ivy comfortably rested on top of her in a striped bathing suit and cute hair bow. A number of news outlets have already expressed outrage and disapproval on Beyonce's parenting skills involving the hot tub.

Beyonce reportedly placed the health of her daughter at risk while she posed for a photo opportunity in the hot tub. "Zap2it.com" even described Beyonce's photo as a "terrible example for moms everywhere."

The web site emphasized on the medical danger from the high temperature water to a child's body through a posted article. The report further stated that Beyonce became an irresponsible mother when the photograph was taken.

Another web site against Beyonce's photo is "Livestrong.com" where a warning was given to parents as well as an explanation why hot tubs could become dangerous for young children. The web site message reads: "It's dangerous to take your baby into the hot tub because of the heat. Your baby cannot regulate his body temperature well and can overheat in a hot tub quickly. Overheating can make him extremely uncomfortable and cause his heart to race. In some cases, overheating can cause death."
