The situation surrounding Miguel and Daniel, sons of Aracely Arámbula and Luis Miguel, reflects the growing concerns about the privacy of the children of public figures. Although both young people have kept a low profile and away from media scrutiny, incidents such as harassment in 2021 and the recent dissemination of their images highlight the lack of respect for their privacy.
Jorge Salinas’ reaction underlines the need for both media and public figures to act responsibly. By pointing out the bad practices that have become normalised in the search for audiences, Salinas calls for greater respect for the well-being of minors and the implementation of sanctions for those who infringe this norm.
“It is you (the press representatives) who are to blame. What are you doing selling photos of children? And you will surely come out saying ‘it’s because the mother or the father took them’. You don’t give a damn about that. You have to fully respect the safety of a minor. And the minor can go anywhere. And there must be legal consequences for the media that published, with all the legal consequences; you cannot do that,” he began by saying in front of the media.
“We have been people who respect the privacy of our children and also the privacy of other people’s children. The important thing is that you also respect that,” added the renowned actor.
Arambula, the teenagers’ mother, has tried to shield her children from the media spotlight, prioritizing their emotional health and right to a private life. This is especially important, given that growing up under constant public scrutiny can bring with it a host of challenges and pressures that many young people are not prepared to face.
“The public will always want to know, whether it is true or false, it is morbid. But the honorability of the media and of the actors who sometimes use the media to make them known, that is not very correct, let’s say. We must have morals, above all, in favor of the children who are the most important thing,” Jorge said.
It is essential that any discussion on the ethics of media coverage consider the impact it has on the lives of minors and promote an environment in which their dignity and right to privacy are respected.
