The necessity of the protection of the privacy or devastating impact of the internet in the tragic events to the family and bereaved
Abstract
The aim of this contribution is to convey the knowledge from the practice about the hurting impact on the psyche of the family and the bereaved of the victims of crimes, tragic events and the extraordinary disasters if the information about the event is published on the social networks and news portals on the Internet. It is not the aim of this contribution to name all the reactions and possibilities but if it is able to demonstrate another frame preview on the publishing of this information and makes the readers to think about it, than it fulfills its aim.
We live in the time when anything can be documented, filmed, photographed, sent and published on the social network really easily. It can be seen how media are able to react quickly in the relationship to the tragic events which show the infelicity of the human being.
It occurs very often that the photograph from the place of the tragedy appears on the Internet much earlier than the family related to this case is informed. And even the fact that the mentioned families get the information about the tragedy just through the Internet is not an exception.
This contribution outlines the experience of the affected persons, which can read the story and the commentary of the different users about the tragedy that caught them personally. It is possible that published communication might be or might not be in the harmony with the reality but mainly the most hurting is the fact that their private details can be revealed, in many times even in their intimate details, which later participate in the secondary victimization.
Then the crisis intervention by the police and possible further following therapy and consultancy is more complicated.
