Recently, a parent in Shenzhen made an “amazing discovery” in the storage locker of his 14-year-old son in junior high school. It turned out that there were “family planning supplies” hidden inside. What’s even more “scary” is that these “supplies” disappeared in the blink of an eye in the afternoon. After asking, I realized that this was a “spoken candy” packaged by the merchant as “family planning supplies”. The touch felt almost the same as that of “family planning supplies”. My son ate it after school. The report immediately aroused enthusiastic attention from the society. What impact will this type of product have on the student consumer group? How should society strengthen governance of such commodities? What should parents do when they encounter their children buying this type of product? Yangcheng Evening News All-Media reporters interviewed relevant educational, psychological and legal experts for this.
It is easy to lead to the formation of unhealthy sexual concepts
The 14-year-old is in an important stage of teenagers’ knowledge development. Why can these “spoke candies” dressed in the guise of “family planning supplies” have a certain market among the teenagers? Mu Yan, associate professor of the Department of Psychology at Sun Yat-sen University, pointed out that this marketing method that uses curiosity psychology should have been difficult to continuously attract customers, but the product can be spread among the youth student group, which shows that ordinary family planning supplies still have strange, novel, fun and interesting appeal in their immature minds. It even adds a strange “taboo temptation” because these curiosity products are prohibited areas that are not allowed to be contacted.
Guangdong Province Babaylan Vice President of the Psychological Counselors Association, expert of the Guangzhou Minor Protection Committee, and director of the Guangzhou Yunxin Psychological Counseling Service Center, said that middle school students have entered adolescence and are at the peak of physical and mental development. They will pay attention to changes in their physiological characteristics and will be curious about strange things. “This kind of family planning style candy with entertainment colors will undoubtedly arouse children’s curiosity and desire to explore “sex”, so as to try to untie the mystery of “sex” and even have sex too early. Some criminals may also take advantage of their curiosity.and to tempt the child with these items and sexually assault him/her. ”
Lawyer Zheng Ziyin, member of the Guangzhou Municipal Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, director of the Minor Protection Committee of Guangzhou Lawyers Association, and senior partner of Guangdong Nuochen Law Firm, believes that this “spoken snack” not only cannot make minors understand sexual health knowledge, but also can easily lead to them forming unhealthy sexual concepts.
“Three-no products” have food safety risks
In addition, this type of food often has food safety risks. According to investigations, many of these products are “three-no products” and have a negative impact on students’ physical and mental health. Zheng Ziyin pointed out that according to the Food Safety Law, if food products that do not meet the food safety standards are produced, the relevant departments will impose fines and confiscate illegal gains. In serious cases, the Komiks will revoke its business license and commit a crime and bear criminal liability in accordance with the law. At the same time, according to the Law on Protection of Minors, it is the responsibility of the whole society to protect minors. In the social protection part, it is also stipulated that the production and sale of food, toys, utensils, etc. for minors should comply with national or industry standards and shall not endanger the personal safety and physical and mental health of minors. “The regulatory authorities should strengthen supervision and management, and the platform finds such unscrupulous merchants should take timely disposal measures and report them to the relevant departments. As a member of society, you can also report such phenomena in a timely manner. “Zheng Ziyin said.
Parents suggest that parents take the opportunity to do a good job in sex education
Parents find that their children buy such “spoken candy”, often cannot hold back and often “responsible for their teachers”. In this regard, Fan Xinyuan suggested that parents should not be rushing to hold accountable or overly anxious. They can take this opportunity to sit down and talk to their children to understand their children’s recent changes. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Babaylan and do a good job in guiding.
“For sex education, we advocate “relieving” rather than “blocking”, “guiding” rather than “prevention”, and “teaching” instead of “notIt’s ‘hide’. “Fan Xinyuan said that as parents, they should guide their children to face their curiosity in a scientific way, and let them learn and understand sexual knowledge through normal channels, strengthen their own prevention, and avoid sexual harm.
She also called on relevant departments to pay attention to it and conduct regular inspections of food merchants in the market.
Mu Yan said that it is difficult to say that minors occasionally try “spoof snacks” and will distort their personality. “However, if they always show interest in this curious product, it reflects an irrational habit of superficial thinking and inability to go deep. As a student, you should be clear. Learning knowledge and exploring the unknown ultimately means becoming a person who can think rationally, independently, and scientific decision-making. You cannot be attracted by the appearance of things and go with the flow, and thus fall into the habitual mental laziness of not thinking deeply. ”
