Madonna has spoken out following her son's Rocco's arrest over marijuana possession.
“I love my son very much. I will do whatever I can to give him the support that he needs, and I ask that you respect our privacy at this time,” the 58-year-old said in a statement to WHO.
Rocco, 16, who lives with his father and Madonna's ex-husband Guy Ritchie, was arrested for holding a small amount of cannabis on September 28 in London.
“The arrest follows a stop and search by officers from Camden borough on Wednesday, 28 September,” Scotland Yard tells WHO in an official statement.
“[Rocco] was dealt with by way of Triage, which uses multiple strands to engage and educate young people in order to prevent re-offending.”

Madonna and Ritchie, 48, ended their eight-month long custody battle over their son in September, with the popstar visiting him in London.
After months of back and forth, Madonna and Ritchie came to a custody agreement that will see Rocco remain with his father in the U.K.
