Description of the complaint

In the tv story demonstrating the case, the identity of the little girl is not preserved.

 

DECISION

 

After watching the video, we think that there is a violation of Article 14 of the Code of Ethics of the Journalist, concerning the “Protection of Children and Persons with Disabilities”.

We find that the anonymity of the child is not respected in the tv story above, and despite an attempt to cover the eyes, the child is completely identifiable.

 

We recommend that the video be removed from YouTube, from the Fiks Fare page and from any re-broadcast or complete coverage of the child’s identity.

 

SOLUTION

After contacted by AMC, AMA decided to urge the program to remove the video and ban any form of broadcasting
