Criticism and controversy During the premiere night from season one, 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 children subjects like pedophilia, bullying and many others.O MasterChef Júnior e a sexualização infantil'MasterChef Júnior': pai de Valentina se revolta com mensagens de teor pedófilo
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. Valentina has not been affected by that, since she only sees what we allow her to.""Estávamos preparados para assédio", diz pai de Valentina do 'MasterChef Jr'
