Ellen Adarna is sued for child abuse after taking video of a minor and posting it on Instagram without permission

MANILA, Philippines – Actress Ellen Adarna faces charges for posting an Instagram video of a minor and accusing her of taking the actress’ photo without permission.

According to SmartParenting, Myra Santos, the mom of 17-year-old Eleila Santos, filed a “child abuse, cybercrime, and libel” case before the Pasig City prosecutor’s office on Tuesday, May 15.

Santos’ complaint comes a week after she posted an open letter to Adarna on Facebook, wherein she demanded that the actress issue a public apology within 5 days. Santos also hinted at possible legal action should Adarna fail to respond. (READ: Where is Ellen Adarna’s public apology?)
