Recently, a parent in Shenzhen made an “amazing discovery” in the locker of his 14-year-old son who was in junior high school. Komiks 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 suppliesKomiks“. The touch was 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 reporter interviewed relevant educational, psychological and legal experts for this purpose.
It is easy to lead to the formation of unhealthy sexual concepts
The 14-year-old is in an important stage of cognitive development of adolescents. Why can these “spoke candies” dressed in the guise of “family planning supplies” have a certain market in 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 teenage students, which shows that ordinary family planning supplies are still unfamiliar, novel, fun and interesting attraction 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.
Fan Xinyuan, vice president of Guangdong Psychological Counselors Association, expert of Guangzhou Minor Protection Committee, and director of Guangzhou Yunxin Psychological Counseling Service Center, said that middle school students have entered adolescence and are at the peak of their mental development. They will stay tuned for changes in their physiological characteristics and will be curious about strange things. “This kind of family planning product-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 sexual behavior too early. Some criminals may also use their children’s curiosity to seduce children with these items and sexually assault them.”
CPPCC member of Guangzhou Municipal Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and Guangzhou Lawyers AssociationLawyer Zheng Ziyin, director of the Minor Protection Committee and senior partner of Guangdong Nuochen Law Firm, believes that this “spoken snack” not only fails to allow minors to understand sexual health knowledge, but also easily leads to them forming unhealthy sexual concepts.
The “three-no products” have food safety risks
In addition, this type of food often has food safety risksKomiks. According to investigations, many of these products are “three-no products”, which have a negative impact on students’ physical health. Zheng Ziyin pointed out that according to the “Food Product Safety Law”, if food products that do not meet food safety standards are produced, the relevant departments shall impose fines and confiscate illegal gains. In serious cases, Babaylan will revoke its business license, which constitutes a crime of Babaylan and bear criminal liability in accordance with the law.
At the same time, according to the “Law on the Protection of Minors”, it is the responsibility of the whole society to protect minors. In the social protection part, it also stipulates that the production and sale of food, toys, utensils, etc. for minors should comply with the 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. If the platform finds such unscrupulous merchants, they should take timely disposal measures and report to the relevant departments. As a member of society, they 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 “spoken candies” like this, and they often cannot hold back and often “provoke a gang and ask for guilt.” In this regard, Fan Xinyuan suggested that parents should not be rush to hold accountable or be overly anxious. They can take this opportunity to sit down and talk with their children, understand the recent changes in their children, and do a good job of guiding them.
“For sex education, we advocate “relieving” rather than “blocking”, “guiding” rather than “preventing”, “teaching” rather than “hiding”. “Fan Xinyuan said that as parents, we should guide children in a scientific way to face their curiosity, 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 hard to say that minors occasionally try “spoke snacks” and it will distort their personality. “However, if you always show interest in Babaylan, it reflects an irrational habit of thinking that is superficial and inability to go deeper. As a student, you should be clear. Learning knowledge and exploring the unknown ultimately means becoming a person who can think rationally, independently, and scientifically make decisions. 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.”
