urgent! A 6-year-old girl jumped off a building with an umbrella. Don\’t let cartoons become a life-threatening movie for children…

A few days ago, a piece of news posted online shocked me: a 6-year-old girl in Wuhu jumped from the 13th floor for some unknown reason! The child fell on the balcony of the front house on the 6th floor. Fortunately, the neighbor noticed something unusual and quickly called the police. The little girl was rushed to the hospital by a 120 ambulance and her life was saved. I originally thought that the child committed suicide because he was abused or because he couldn\’t think about it. Unexpectedly, the reason was so ridiculous that it made people angry: when the little girl jumped, she held a small flower umbrella in her hand. It was actually because I was influenced by cartoons and wanted to imitate the plots in them. And this is not the first time this has happened. In March 2017, a 5-year-old girl in Urumqi \”flyed\” from the 11th floor with an umbrella, imitating the look of a cartoon, and fell seriously injured. After a year, I didn\’t expect that tragedy would happen again. I always feel far away from my children, but once it happens, it will be a disaster for the entire family. It’s really heartbreaking! How many children have been harmed by imitation of cartoons? Incidents of children imitating and \”doing evil\” after watching cartoons occur frequently, making it difficult for us to guard against them. An 8-year-old boy imitated a cartoon and kidnapped and burned his companions. In April 2013, an 8-year-old boy in Lianyungang imitated the plot of a cartoon and played a game of \”kidnapping and roasting sheep.\” He tied two friends to a tree and set them on fire, causing severe burns. The 5-year-old brother was burned on 80% of his body. 2-and-a-half-year-old boy imitates cartoon and cuts himself In March 2014, a two-and-a-half-year-old boy in Suqian imitated characters in cartoons. He cut his middle finger and ring finger with an axe. A 10-year-old girl imitated a cartoon and sawed her younger sister with a chainsaw. In March 2016, her 10-year-old sister took out a chainsaw and \”imitated the use of a chainsaw in the cartoon and sawed her sister on the face.\” When my sister was sent to the hospital, her nose and right side of her face were sawed open… A 4-year-old boy imitated a cartoon and set fire. In April 2017, a 4-year-old boy in Anhui imitated the fire-breathing scene in a cartoon. A fire was set in the house, which was burned almost beyond recognition. It\’s simply terrible. Tragedies are being staged so intensively, which is a wake-up call for every parent. There is a famous experiment in psychology: two groups of children were randomly assigned to two rooms: one group watched a TV show with violent fighting, and the other group watched a mild TV show. . As a result, children who watched violent fights began to tear up dolls and fight with each other. The other group of children basically did not exhibit such behavior. The mental development of children between the ages of 3 and 10 is not perfect. Children cannot distinguish between the real world and the virtual world very well, and they do not know what their actions mean. If he watches a certain type of cartoon program for a long time, he will unconsciously imitate the plot of the program. – When you see dangerous actions in cartoons but are safe, you will ignore the danger and think you can do it too; – When you see violent behaviors in cartoons but are happy, you think that aggression is a normal social behavior; – Long-term viewing has the effect of Animations with bloody plots may do cruel things. For children, the ability to distinguish is insufficient, but imitation is their nature. Good cartoons are beautiful memories of children\’s childhood and are also windows for children to understand the world. But bad cartoons are the executioners who lead children into the abyss of sin. The resurgence of cult horror animation In January this year, a large-scale \”cult horror animation\” incident broke out across the entire Internet. The state ordered all video platforms to severely rectify and remove horror cult animations from their shelves. But what I didn’t expect was that when I was searching for Mickey Mouse for my children a few days ago, the cult animation appeared again. (Minnie violently fights Mickey, and laughs when he sees the other injured) (Mickey urinates in the bathtub, and watches Minnie take a bath in the bathtub to gloat) Professor Tong Xiaojun of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences said: This type of video is information violence against children, which will affect Children\’s cognition and behavior. The child will think that what he sees is reality and correct. Children will be in a state of fear and anxiety while watching these violent, bloody missteps. This will greatly affect the child\’s neurological development and hinder the child\’s attention to learning and ability to interact with others. If watched for a long time, this will cause irreversible physical and mental damage to children. This type of video spreads very quickly, and as a result, countless children have been harmed. Earlier this year, in an interview with CCTV, in front of the camera, children spoke the language they learned by watching cartoons, which made us have to be more vigilant. Why do anime garbage appear so frequently? In 2015, the Ministry of Culture launched a centralized crackdown on violent and terrorist animations, and many websites were investigated and punished for being related to violence. In January this year, CCTV also reported that the state had ordered major platforms to strengthen censorship of children’s programs. However, the matter is not that simple. Cao Xiaohui, a professor at the School of Animation of the Beijing Film Academy, pointedly pointed out: What the website cares about is nothing more than increasing clicks, but behind it are huge economic benefits. An investigation report by the news aggregation media Buzzfeed shows that before widespread offline, these channels that uploaded videos earned more than $500,000 in advertising revenue per month on average. In the Internet era, traffic means money and interests. Cult animations can increase the number of clicks for the platform and the uploader, so the people behind the bad animations are like guerrillas: wait for this wave to disappear, change their vests and IDs and upload them again, and continue to torture children with low recognition ability. Bai Yansong said: This is by no means the last one, there will be more in the future. Whether it is for children, parents, or society, challenges continue. Back then, after a boy in Lianyungang imitated the \”kidnapping and roasting sheep\” incident, the victim\’s parents sued the parents of the boy who burned the fire and the producers of the animation to court. In court, there was a sentence that deeply hurt me as a mother. The lawyer defended the cartoon producers: Our country does not have any laws and regulations that stipulate that cartoon producers and distributors have a warning obligation to warn of dangers that cannot be imitated in cartoons. They spoke so confidently. Yes, since there is no requirement, then whether to label or not depends entirely on \”conscience.\” But we cannot leave the safety of our children to someone else\’s \”conscience.\” In this case, the final result of the trial was that the producer of the cartoon only compensated the victim 15% of the loss.lose. But what this caused was an irreversible tragedy for the three children. Save Our Children It is no longer realistic to completely isolate children from animation. Our children were born in the Internet era. According to reports, there are 170 million Internet users in my country under the age of 18, and children in first-tier cities spend an average of 3.5 hours online every day. Therefore, children will inevitably be affected by the Internet. Only excellent cartoons can bring positive guidance to children. Facing the Internet environment, how should we strive for a green animation space for children? Establish an animation grading system as soon as possible Regarding the grading process of cartoons, Japan is divided into six categories: children\’s animation, juvenile animation, girl animation, youth animation, female animation, and adult animation. The classification in the United States is even more rigorous: all children can watch, most children can watch, children over 7 years old can watch, and they must watch under the guidance of parents. Parents should pay special attention to watching. Because of the classification, there is also guidance for children to watch cartoons. But at present, our country is still blank in this regard. As parents, we very much hope that a rating system for cartoons can be established as soon as possible and a \”Do not imitate\” reminder will be issued for dangerous plots. It is expected that video platforms, text article platforms, and even mini-game platforms can develop a strict review and supervision mechanism to strictly prevent the spread of this kind of junk content. But when we have not yet established a cartoon rating system and supervision is not perfect, how can we save children? Screening and Accompanying CCTV once conducted random interviews with some parents: Are there any \”restrictions\” on the cartoons that children can watch? But the answer is this. Do we not love our children? Absolutely not. Just because we are not completely aware and sensitive to what might harm our children? We all take chances when it doesn\’t happen to us. But as long as there is a 1% possibility, this matter cannot be treated lightly. Let your children play with iPads alone and search for animated videos. You can never imagine how many perverts they will come into contact with and how many pairs of sinful hands will seduce our children in the abyss. Television and the Internet have never been the \”nanny\” to take care of children. Only the company of parents is what children need most. Young children lack the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Choosing appropriate cartoons for your children, watching them with your children, and discussing the plots of the cartoons with your children will be more conducive to their growth. Promote and spread the supervision of cartoons, we really need more eyes. When we discover this type of video, we must report it and spread it as soon as possible so that more people can be more vigilant. It also allows more people to participate in the online environment that resists vulgar content. Especially when the child is being taken care of by an elderly person, please educate the elderly person as much as possible about the dangers of this matter. Cartoons are a clear world, and they should be the last piece of pure land for children. As Hayao Miyazaki said: Five minutes of childhood experience is even better than an entire year of adult experience. Children are our hope and the ones we risk our lives to protect. We were once armed to the teeth, but now we will never allow anyone to pollute this pure land and pollute the most precious childhood of our children!
