- Abstract
Main goal of this research was to deepen the cognition of violence against children with developmental disabilities, in real as well as virtual world. Research involved children with different disabilities (N=20), as well as their parents (N=40). Information and data was gathered through guided discussions with children and adolescents in focus groups and through semi-structured interviews with parents. Results show that children wit hdissabilites are often targets of verbal (insults and humiliation based on their disability), relational (rejection, isolation), physical (pulling, pushing, knocking out of a wheelchair) as well as sexual harassment. Small number of interviewed children had experienced violence through social media and similar channels (e-violence). It has been found that dominant feelings are sadness, anger, fear and helplessness. All participants think that peer violence against children with difficulties and disabilities is an especially painful experience and a serious problem, and therefore they seek adequate protection and prevention activities.
