Shocking allegations: Influencer endangers children online!

"2 meter model MR Lova Lova" has a high range and appeals to young people and children in particular. It is critically noted that this influencer publishes content that is not compatible with a role model. Despite his problematic behavior, he was already invited in schools and positively presented by pedagogical staff, which raises questions regarding the access of such personalities to children in educational institutions.

Problem of sexual exploitation

The allegations against "MR Lova Lova" also make a highlight of the general problem of sexual exploitation and abuse of children, especially in digital space. Protection against sexual exploitation, both online and offline, is of crucial importance for growing up children and adolescents. Sebastian Gutknecht, director of the Federal Center for Child and Youth Media Protection (BZKJ), emphasizes how important it is to watch children on social media, gaming and watch films. On November 18, 2024, a Europe -wide day of action will therefore take place under the motto "New technologies: threats and opportunities to protect children from sexual exploitation and sexual abuse", which was initiated by Council of Europe.

The allegations against "MR Lova Lova" also include access to a Telegram group that is accessible via its Instagram account. Entry to the group requires a formal confirmation of the age of majority, but there is no real control. In this group, sexual fantasies of the influencer and evaluating comments about young women are to be expressed. In addition, the publication of a masturbation video was coordinated, which was then also posted. Despite these serious allegations, there are no reactions from authorities.

call for action

Sonnenscheincatering asks the media, influencers and authorities to finally act. He emphasizes that he cannot carry out an investigation and call for support. He also lists that other accounts document the behavior of "MR Lova Lova", but without public response. The question of child protection on the Internet is particularly important here. Control mechanisms as well as digital media literacy and strengthened consciousness in schools and parents are urgently needed. The influence of social media in the upbringing and behavior of influencers should be viewed critically.

The problem is also illustrated by the increase in cases of sexual online exploitation during the Covid 19 pandemic. According to World Vision Germany were reported in 2021 worldwide, which corresponds to an increase of 35% compared to the previous year. Children between the ages of 7 and 10 in particular are affected, and the increase in this age group is 235% within one year. These cases have long -term spiritual and physical consequences for the affected children.

To counteract this, the need for a safe growth with the media is emphasized. The Digital Services Act (DSA), which came into force in 2024, obliges providers of digital services to provide child-friendly reporting and remedial proceedings. In this context, the BZKJ cooperates with other actors and carries out discourse formats to develop protective measures together.
