A pet eats a child and deliberately provokes a crying child
Malicious entertainment of children to shoot short videos violates the spirit of legislation
□ Our reporter Zhang Shoukun
The parents boiled the pet crab that the child took good care of, and handed the child a crab leg, saying "Eat it or not, I will eat it", the child took the crab leg while crying heartbreakingly, and put it Put it in your mouth and say "Xiang".
This picture comes from a video that has been popular on a short video platform recently.
Coupled with the relaxing soundtrack and funny expressions, this "cute baby funny video" became a hot search.
There are many similar videos, but the pets in the pot are replaced by rabbits, chickens, ducks, fish, etc.
Although the traffic of this type of video is very high, many netizens do not buy it: "Parents kill their children's pets, cook them, feed them to crying children, and then have fun beside them?" "Parents do this , No respect for children at all."
The "Rule of Law Daily" reporter noticed that in order to obtain traffic, some parents took pictures of their children breaking down and crying.
Experts interviewed pointed out that parents shooting such videos may bring psychological trauma to children and weaken the parent-child relationship.
In addition, the practice of parents maliciously entertaining their children and earning traffic in this way is contrary to the legal provisions and legislative spirit of my country's Minors Protection Law and Family Education Law.
It is recommended that relevant departments carry out education on the rule of law in a timely manner, improve the concept of the rule of law of parents of minors, and bring up their children in accordance with the law.
The moment of fear and sadness when shooting the baby
Sad route to harvest traffic
The child drew a picture, but was snatched away by the parents, who deliberately said that the painting was ugly. After the child reacted violently, he moved the camera closer, took a picture of the child's expression, and wrote, "The longer the child grows, the more Big, and my temper is getting bigger and bigger", accompanied by a snickering emoji.
In the comment area, many people echoed and laughed.
Liu Jing, a resident of Suzhou, Anhui, kindly reminded the other party that doing so is not good for the child's growth, but the other party felt that he was just playing with the child and didn't care.
Liu Jing told reporters that I don’t know when, the popular short video platform for posting babies has gradually changed from posting smart and cute moments to posting "moments of abuse", and most of these moments of abuse are "created" by parents themselves.
"These heart-abuse videos that are widely circulated on the Internet can be roughly divided into three categories." Liu Jing said, one is to make children afraid, that is, to set some challenges for children beyond their ability, to watch them show their fear, and then film their Embarrassment.
For example, some parents filmed their children standing on the glass plank road, crying because they were scared of heights, and kept reaching out for help, but the parents remained indifferent and focused on filming their children's embarrassment, and then posted it on the Internet.
The second category is to make children uncomfortable, deliberately showing things in front of children that can make them angry and uncomfortable, until they break down emotionally.
The third category is quarreling with children. When parent-child conflicts break out, parents don’t want to appease the children and solve the problem, but point the camera at the children and take pictures of them crying and crying.
"Teasing" crying children, shooting videos, what do these "joke" parents think?
Yin Hui (pseudonym), a resident from Pudong, Shanghai, is a parent of a fifth-grade child. He once shot a similar video. He explained that the video he shot was not malicious, but just for fun, and he simply shared it for everyone to enjoy .
Amusing young children for eyeballs
Trauma cannot be underestimated
Deliberately "entertaining" children, why do such videos emerge in endlessly?
Cai Hailong, deputy dean of the Institute of Educational Policy and Law of the Capital Normal University School of Education, believes that some parents have not established a correct view of children and failed to fully respect children's personality and dignity. Most of them lack scientific educational concepts and methods. In family life, teasing and playing with children is often a pleasure, and they are posted on online platforms in the form of sharing parent-child life, often for the purpose of catering to the low-level entertainment interests of netizens or making the audience laugh.
"There are also some parents who shoot such videos with obvious profit-making tendencies. At present, it has become a mature business model to attract traffic, create Internet celebrities and carry out commercial activities by shooting children-themed videos. In this model, a On the one hand, parents can get financial income such as rewards or commercial endorsements, on the other hand, it can also bring spotlight star effects to children themselves, which is undoubtedly very attractive to some families." Cai Hailong said.
What impact might such a video have on children?
According to Zhou Xiang, an associate professor at the School of Education of Renmin University of China, these videos reflect the simple cognition of adults using humor they understand to consume children.
However, children's psychological development has certain rules, and these special events imposed by the outside are likely to cause psychological trauma to children who are in the process of psychological maturity, and at the same time weaken the intimate relationship of mutual trust between parents and children.
Yanghua (pseudonym), a third-year junior high school student in Binzhou, Shandong, has a deep understanding of this.
In the past, he was often shot and uploaded on the Internet by his parents. For example, his parents asked him to tear up his comic book, and his cat was given to a neighbor by his parents.
These shooting experiences are "unforgettable and painful memories" for him. "Parents do this partly because they look at problems from the perspective of adults, without empathy, and do not regard comic books, pets and other things that children cherish as their own. On the other hand, it may be related to their desire to control everything about their children, thinking that it is okay to let the children do anything, and the children must obey their parents.”
Cai Hailong believes that the shooting and dissemination of such "baby abuse" videos essentially expose children's privacy and life on the Internet, which not only violates children's privacy, but also makes children overly dependent on others. likes and follows, thereby affecting their self-perception and self-esteem in the real world.
"Excessive involvement in commercial advertisement performances and short video live broadcast activities will also make children's personality and psychology become utilitarian and impetuous driven by profit motives, which will not only hinder their own healthy development, but also form a bad value orientation." Cai Hailong said.
In his view, the practice of parents maliciously entertaining their children and earning traffic with this is contrary to the provisions and spirit of legislation in my country's Minors Protection Law, Family Education Law and other laws and regulations.
"The Law on the Protection of Minors clearly stipulates the guardianship duties of parents of minors, requiring parents to provide guarantees for minors in terms of life, health, and safety, pay attention to the physical, psychological and emotional needs of minors, and guide minors to Adults engage in activities beneficial to physical and mental health, and must not abuse minors or commit domestic violence against minors. The Family Education Promotion Law stipulates that parents assume the main responsibility for implementing family education, and require parents to take measures that are beneficial to minors in the process of family education. The ways and means for the comprehensive development and healthy growth of adults shall not discriminate against minors, and shall not coerce, seduce, instigate, connive, or use minors to engage in activities that violate laws, regulations and social morality. The clear specification of responsibility requires that if the parents of minors shoot videos that make their children uncomfortable in order to earn traffic, it may violate the above rights and obligations.” Cai Hailong said.
He also mentioned that the Law on the Protection of Minors stipulates that the parents of minors shall not allow or force minors to engage in labor other than those stipulated by the state, and shall not illegally dispose of, embezzle the property of minors, or use minors to seek illegitimate interests. .
No organization or individual may organize minors to conduct performances and other activities that endanger their physical and mental health.
The Advertising Law also stipulates that minors under the age of ten shall not be used as advertising spokespersons.
According to the above-mentioned legal provisions, if the parents of minors have the behavior of forcing children to participate in performances or shoot short videos for profit, or illegally dispose of or embezzle the property of minors, it not only constitutes a violation of the law, but also should be investigated by the relevant competent authorities in accordance with the law its legal responsibilities.
Strengthen identification and limit traffic
Protect children's rights and interests according to law
Many interviewed experts believe that protecting the legal rights and physical and mental health of minors is the common responsibility of the whole society, and short video platforms should undertake corresponding management responsibilities in accordance with the law, and take effective measures to prevent the widespread dissemination of such videos.
"Generally speaking, short video shots of minors must be protected through special means, especially when identifiable identity information is involved. Video publishers need to pay attention to the privacy protection of minors' relevant identity information, and at the same time It is necessary for the platform to automatically identify the identity or avatar information of minors through technical means, and carry out blocking processing." Zhou Xiang said.
Cai Hailong suggested that for short video content that may endanger the physical and mental health of young people, the platform can carry out the necessary content classification, and according to the level, take measures such as limiting traffic, reducing weight, and not recommending to control the scope of transmission and reduce adverse effects.
"The legislature needs to further improve the relevant laws and regulations on the protection of minors, and further strengthen the online protection of minors' information and privacy by formulating relevant implementation rules, and provide special regulation and protection for children's participation in other forms of commercial activities such as webcasting. "Cai Hailong said.
He believes that local governments should carry out legal education and publicity of the rule of law through various means, so as to raise the awareness and concept of the rule of law of parents of minors, so that they can take care of their children in accordance with the law and be qualified parents in family life.
Primary and secondary schools, kindergartens and other educational institutions can regularly organize non-profit family education guidance services and practical activities to help parents develop correct educational concepts and master scientific educational methods.
In the process of handling cases, public security organs, procuratorates, and courts may, according to the circumstances, give a reprimand to minors' parents or other guardians who violate the lawful rights and interests of minors by incorrectly implementing family education, and may order them to accept family education guidance.
"From the perspective of convenience, parents are always the first person responsible for children's growth. Both parents and family members have the responsibility to help children grow up, and also have the obligation to protect children's healthy growth environment." Zhou Xiang said.
After careful and further analysis, the Family Education Promotion Law stipulates that parents or other guardians should establish the sense of responsibility that the family is the first classroom and parents are the first teachers, assume the main responsibility for the implementation of family education for minors, and use correct ideas and methods. and behavioral education for minors to develop good thoughts, conduct and habits.
Parents need to fully study the basic theories of family education under the background that the Family Education Law actively promotes family education, actively resolve all kinds of confusion and contradictions encountered in children's growth, and have a good understanding of minors' moral character, cultural accomplishment, behavior habits, etc. Influence on all aspects and fasten the first button of children's growth.
"In the face of children's negative emotions, parents should have a positive attitude and scientific treatment methods. First, they should form a correct understanding of negative emotions and realize that negative emotions also have positive functions. It is normal for children to have negative emotions. Treat them with rough intervention without restricting children's freedom and rights of expression. Secondly, parents should accept children's negative emotions, allow children to express their own emotions and feelings, and at the same time restrain children's emotional expression behavior, and guide and demonstrate children with acceptable behaviors. Parents should also set an example, pay attention to their words and deeds, and avoid negative impacts on their children caused by losing control of their emotions." Cai Hailong said.
