Children's Commissioner Appeals for Protection of Children from Public Exposure

The Commissioner for the Protection of Children's Rights emphasizes the need for increased institutional responsibility in managing domestic violence issues, particularly concerning children. She urges those involved in public discourse to consider the potential consequences for children affected by media coverage. The Commissioner stresses the children of public figures are still children and have a right to privacy, mental health protection and normal development, protected by international and european law. She appeals to the media to recognize the impact of presenting such sensitive issues on children, warning against the potential for psychological harm and retraumatization through excessive exposure. The Commissioner reiterates that domestic violence is reprehensible and investigations should be thorough and without tolerance.
