Filicide, the killing of a child by a parent, remains a significant crime, with on average one child killed by a parent each fortnight (Brown et al., Trends and Issues in Crime and Criminal Justice, 568: 1–17, 2019). Despite being a crime against children, when the media reports on filicide, coverage largely centers on adult experiences (Buiten, International handbook of feminist perspectives on women’s acts of violence. Emerald Publishing, 2023). This adult-centrism extends beyond the media, where the risks of harm to children and common precursors of filicide are often ignored, leading to inadequate protection of children (Nelson & Lumby, Broken: Children, parents and family courts. La Trobe University Press, 2021). This includes assumptions that domestic violence is a matter between adults and therefore irrelevant to children’s safety in legal proceedings, the dismissal of children’s accounts of harm by and fear of parents, and the failure to adequately consider children’s interests when violence or mental health issues among adults are raised. This chapter examines the silencing and erasure of children in media reporting of and responses to filicide.
