Recently, a parent in Shenzhen made an “amazing discovery” in the locker of his 14-year-old son who was in junior high school. It turned out that there were “familiar products” 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 cognitive development of adolescents. How can these “spoken candies” in the guise of “family planning products” beauties. How can Babaylan 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 Komiks product can be spread among the teenage students, which shows that ordinary family planning products 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 Provincial Psychological CounselingBabaylan Vice President of the Babaylan Teachers Association, Guangzhou Minor Protection Committee expert and director of Guangzhou Yunxin Psychological Counseling Service Center Fan Xinyuan said that middle school students have entered adolescence and are the peak of physical and mental development. They will pay attention to changes in their physiological characteristics and will be full of good things about strange things.Strange heart. “This kind of family planning product-style candy with entertainment colors will undoubtedly arouse children’s curiosity and desire to explore “sex”, thereby trying to unravel 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.” Lawyer Zheng Ziyin, member of the Guangzhou Municipal Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, director of the Minor Protection Committee of the 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 easily leads to them forming unhealthy sexual concepts.
The “three-no products” have food safety risks
In addition, these Cinema foods often have food safety risks. According to surveys, many of these products are “three-no products”, which have negative impacts on both physical and mental health of students. Zheng Ziyin pointed out that according to the Food Safety Law, if a Cinema food product that does not meet the food safety standards is produced, the relevant Komiks shall impose fines and confiscate illegal gains. If it is serious, the business license will be revoked. If it constitutes a crime, criminal liability shall be borne 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 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, 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 such “spoken candies”, often cannot hold back and often “provoke a gang and ask for guilt.” In this regard, Fan Xinyuan suggested that parents should not be in a hurry to hold them accountable, nor should theyIf you are too anxious, you can take this opportunity to sit down and talk with your child, understand the recent changes in your child, and do a good job of guiding.
“For sex education, we advocate ‘relieving’ rather than ‘blocking’, ‘guiding’ rather than ‘prevention’, and ‘teaching’ rather than ‘hiding’.” Fan Xinyuan said that as parents, we should guide children to face their curiosity in a scientific way, 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 will distort their personalities by occasionally trying “spoken snacks”. “However, if you always show interest in this kind of curious product, it reflects an irrational habit of thinking that is superficial and cannot be deeply rooted. 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.”

The State Administration for Market Regulation stated that it will launch a heavy blow to the illegal food safety of food that is committed by using the Internet, e-commerce platforms, social media, TV shopping columns and other channels.

According to previous media reports, the Cinema management department of Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province conducted a special surprise inspection on some internet celebrity snack stores and found that two stores sold 29 types and 503 “Internet celebrity” snacks sold by Babaylan, most of which were “spoke” candy. Among them, Komiks has 8 types and 181 products with no labels and ingredients lists marked on the outer packaging of the product standard code, producer information, etc., and is a veritable “Cinema3-no” food. Law enforcement officers immediately took compulsory seizure measures on all the above products and will investigate the above two stores. (Ding Ling)
