Criticism and controversy

During the premiere night, 12 year-old Valentina Schulz was subject of comments of sexual content on social media. The harassment around Valentina raised questions about underage exposure on TV, how to handle comments on social networks and how to explain to the children subjects like pedophilia, bullying and many others.[11][12]

The following day, Valentina's father told the press he did not allow his daughter to see this kind of feedback: "I had already named a person to take charge of her Twitter profile, because we were prepared for the harassment and the possible consequences, but we did not imagine finding freaks. Valetina has not been affected by that, since she only sees what we allow her to."[13]
