"3-year-old girl 70 catties", how can parents live feed in the name of "pig raising"
■ Observer
Children are not "pigs", and parents cannot use their children as tools-regardless of commercial motivation.
In the past two days, the 3-year-old "little internet celebrity" Peggy has received intensive attention from the media and netizens-even if it is not strictly speaking of the big appetite king "eat and broadcast", she is almost regarded as the youngest on the Internet. Gluttony Internet celebrities".
According to media reports, on a video website, there is an account that updates Peggy’s "Eat and Drink" daily. Under the camera, burgers, fried chicken, cola, instant noodles, grilled meat, skewers and other foods take turns, while Little Peggy breathes in "storm". His parents also boasted of "raising pigs". Following the condemnation of netizens, the relevant video platform blocked the account last week.
After Little Peggy’s parents were pushed to the forefront, in the latest interview, the parents refuted netizens’ claims that they didn’t earn enough to eat. The video was just out of a fun and documentary mentality. Jin, itself is huge.
Although so far, the subjective mentality of Little Peggy’s parents still needs to be verified, but the provocative title they put on the video platform is "said the voice", which outlines the subtleties of Little Peggy’s parents Mindset: "2 years and a half 50 catties", "3 years old has exceeded 60 catties"... This obviously did not take the problem as a problem, and took the fatness of my daughters as a topic or even a selling point.
It must be realized that parents are the legal guardians of their children and are responsible for their children’s weight and other physical health indicators. The Law on the Protection of Minors clarifies the fundamental criteria for judging the supremacy of the interests of minors. From a legal point of view, minors, especially incapable persons under 8 years of age, have only the right to "pure benefit", not the obligation to benefit the guardian.
In this incident, if the child’s parents really have the motivation to use the child’s "eating and broadcasting" as a selling point to attract traffic and gain benefits, it is obviously out of the spirit of the law.
According to the Law on the Protection of Minors, the Labor Law, and the Provisions on Prohibition of Child Labor, the recruitment of minors is prohibited except in special industries. If there is a problem of "children eating and broadcasting", as long as it involves relying on children to make money, it will not be legally tenable.
Take 10,000 steps back and say that even if it is not for profit, the harm to the child's body and mind is not to be underestimated.
If parents deliberately fatten their children, it may constitute a new type of domestic violence.
The "domestic violence" mentioned in the "Anti-Domestic Violence Law" includes both hard violence and soft violence inflicted on the body and spirit. Article 2 of the law stipulates that the term “domestic violence” in this law refers to physical and mental violations committed by family members by means of beating, binding, mutilating, restricting personal freedom, and frequent abuse and intimidation.
Although up to now, "intentional fattening" has not been identified as an individual case of domestic violence, but in my opinion, this type of behavior can also reach the scope of domestic violence covered by the Anti-Domestic Violence Law. After all, the social harm of this "new type of soft violence" is not small at all.
Medical experts have stated that obesity in girls can easily lead to diseases such as precocious puberty and early bone age. And the negative impact on children's psychology caused by children's "sea food" as a selling point is also worrying. Little Peggy is only 3 years old and may not have a stable circle of classmates and social circles. If she enters kindergarten, the videos that focus on sea food and obesity are spread online, it is likely to cause irreparable harm to her soul.
After all, a child is not a "pig". Even if you give your child the name "Peggy", even if she eats deliciously, parents can't use the child as a tool or a means of making fun-regardless of commercial motivation.
