The German Commission for the Protection of Minors in the Media will examine the TV series "Erwachsen auf Probe" for violations of human dignity. The controversial series will soon be broadcast on the German private channel RTL.
The day after the broadcast of the first two episodes, a committee will examine whether "Erwachsen auf Probe" violates human dignity, the KJM announced in Munich on Thursday. It will also examine whether the series has a detrimental effect on the development of children and young people.
For the show, several pairs of parents give up their toddlers to be looked after by pairs of teenage strangers for four days. The reality format is controversial above all because, in the opinion of various experts, the separation from the parents is harmful to the young children.
