Debate with the German Donation Council

The German Donation Council excluded the association in June 2008. Previously, Kinderhilfe's handling of donations had been criticized as not being transparent. The association law expert Weber, quoted by the world , has withdrawn the allegations made in these articles that the association was founded out of profit after he had received "a mandate from the German Children's Aid Association". Deutsche Kinderhilfe has rejected criticism of its economic structures. According to the company, the immense pressure from the public did not lead to any changes in the structures.

Debate about blocking websites

The association actively supported the federal government's plans to oblige Internet service providers to publish child pornographic websites on the basis of a secret list drawn up by the Federal Criminal Police Office lock. Deutsche Kinderhilfe was accused by several civil rights organizations such as the Chaos Computer Club , the FoeBuD , but also the child protection organization CareChild, of engaging in populist politics and conducting manipulative opinion polls . There were two surveys on the subject that were commissioned by Infratest dimap . In an interview at Die Zeit , the managing director of Infratest Dimap, Richard Hilmer , claimed that there was no contradiction.

Critics of the Internet censorship measures also saw themselves defamed by a signature campaign by Deutsche Kinderhilfe, which was initiated in response to a successful online petition against the law. In May, the contents of which was home of the German Children's Aid of unknowns by a negative text the planned blocking of Internet sites replaced .

The German Medical Assembly adopted, according to the association on his initiative on 22 May 2009 decision to support the legislative initiative to combat child pornography in communications networks . Although the telling reasons for the request by four delegates suggest that Deutsche Kinderhilfe was the author, it does not contain any references to the association.

Debate about religiously motivated boy circumcision
