"One, two, three, four, five, go up the mountain to hunt the tiger. If the tiger is not at home, go find its mother. If its mother wants to fight, reward her with two big mouths..."
Some time ago, some netizens reported that when they played children's songs to their children on online TV, such an adapted children's song appeared, and the lyrics made people feel uncomfortable.
In the comments, many netizens also thought: "How come there is such a children's song? It is simply a 'poisonous' children's song that teaches bad children and should be removed from the shelves."
A reporter's recent investigation found that "poisonous children's songs" similar to those described by parents are not an isolated case.
Some children's songs may contain swear words, promote violence, or contain pornographic terms, and some have weird lyrics, which have led many parents to express their disdain for the "three views."
According to the parents interviewed, listening to children's songs is an effective way for preschool children to quickly build their cognition.
However, this kind of "poisonous" children's songs may not only be mixed into the playlists of massive children's song apps, but there are also many "spoof" children's songs on short video platforms, which is difficult to guard against. Once children are exposed to it, it will cause The negative impact is immeasurable.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, sparrow school teacher teaching students to practice singing chirp..."
Ms. Yao from Zhejiang has a child who has just turned 2 years old. Some time ago, when she took her child out, she used music software to search for children's song albums. When she heard this children's song called "Mahjong School", she was very angry: "Which breed is it?" Is that what the sparrow calls? This is obviously a deliberate attempt to overstep the mark. The lyrics are sung by a childish voice, which makes people feel vulgar and vicious!"
During interviews, many parents reported that the lyrics of some children's songs were "frivolous", the content was vulgar, and they were simply "unsuitable for children."
Under the guidance of parents, the reporter searched for these children's songs on the Internet——
"Bang Bang Bang Bang, Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang, raise your little buttocks, prepare to launch, we are a fart family..." The children's song "Fart Family", the whole content revolves around "fart", and the animation picture of the MV is even more like a family. People are farting all the time, and the gas is deliberately made to have a "dirty" effect of turbid gas.
"What does poop taste like? It's fragrant, sweet, sour..." the children's song "Poop Song" explores the color and taste of "poop". In the MV, poop is put together with cakes, apples, and strawberries.
In the comments below the relevant video, someone questioned: "Isn't this inducing children to eat poop?"
Ms. Deng, the mother of a 3-year-old child in Xicheng, Beijing, told reporters that the children's song reading machine she bought for her child contained a children's song called "Good Dad, Bad Dad". The lyrics sounded very wrong if you listened carefully: I have a good father. , which father doesn’t scold, and which child isn’t afraid, beating is a relative and scolding is love...
"The child is still young, and I think this kind of lyrics will cause him to form wrong concepts of parent-child and interpersonal relationships. What if he later thinks that beating and scolding is a way to express good feelings?" Ms. Deng said.
Zhu Li, a lawyer at Jiangsu Yingzhi Law Firm, believes that the vulgar and prank content of some children's songs is detrimental to the physical and mental health of children and infants. Children are in the growth and development period and have not yet formed the correct "three views" and accept They have strong ability and imitation ability. "Poisonous" children's songs may distort children's cognition, causing them to regard ugliness as beauty and make no distinction between right and wrong. Different perceptions of "poisonous" children's songs may increase friction and conflicts between children. Bullying and other situations occur; imitating and singing vulgar children's songs may also cause harm to children such as premature puberty.
In addition, the "adultification" of children's songs has also worried many parents, and it even became a hot topic among the public.
Some kindergarten teachers sang and danced "Baby, baby, let's have a drink, now I just want to kiss your mouth", which made it difficult for some parents to accept.
A primary school music teacher in Jinan, Shandong Province believes: "Pop songs with obvious adult and social overtones, or even vulgar and violent edge-lines, must be kept away from children to avoid adverse effects. Parents should also Lead by example.”
Why did a children's song meant for children become "unsuitable for children"?
In Zhu Li's view, children are very curious and like to play and joke around. The widespread use of electronic products in today's society also has a lot of impact on children. Various reasons have led to the emergence of many "poisonous" children's songs that destroy the "three views". .
At the same time, there is a lack of children's songs on the market that are in line with contemporary trends, catchy, and loved by children. The long-term absence of excellent children's songs has given "toxic" children's songs a place.
Zhu Li also mentioned that another important reason is that at present, my country's review and supervision system for children's songs has not been fully established, and the leading role of children's songs in children's spiritual world has been ignored to a certain extent. Therefore, it is recommended that educational institutions, art institutions and the whole society They can vigorously create and promote good children's songs with positive energy, and play everyone's role in social supervision of "poisonous" children's songs.
"At the same time, clear administrative agencies should be identified to exercise supervisory responsibilities, and those who write, disseminate, and promote 'poisonous' children's songs in particularly serious cases should be severely punished to legally ensure that children's songs can actively guide the spiritual world of children and improve children's emotional intelligence. Artistic accomplishment." Julie said.
Judging from the investigation, these "poisonous" children's songs mainly come into contact with children in two ways. One is when recording the songs, the children's song recorder usually asks the children to sing the lyrics; the other is that after the songs are disseminated, through children's song software, records, short videos Video platforms, etc., are exposed to children.
According to the interviewed experts, from the recording of children's songs to the dissemination of children's songs, from children's song creators to related platforms, active efforts should be made to create a good children's song atmosphere for children.
Hu Gang, deputy secretary-general of the Legal Affairs Committee of the Internet Society of China, believes that some "poisonous" children's songs promote vulgar, vulgar, and kitsch content, some may cause minors to imitate unsafe behaviors and violate social ethics, and some may induce minors to imitate unsafe behaviors and violate social ethics. People's bad habits, etc. endanger the physical and mental health of minors, infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of minors, poison the healthy growth environment of minors, and are suspected of violating laws and regulations such as the Minors Protection Law, the Internet Security Law, and the Regulations on the Internet Protection of Minors.
Therefore, rapid response, legal sanctions and coordinated management should be adhered to for those who illegally produce and wantonly spread "poisonous" children's songs.
In Zhu Li’s view, recording equipment is very popular in today’s society. You can use mobile phones to record anytime and anywhere, but the recording process is difficult to supervise. Therefore, it is recommended to increase the publicity of the rule of law, popularize the relevant legal responsibilities for recording illegal voice and video, and standardize Recording behavior.
At the same time, relevant law enforcement departments and platforms should strengthen supervision, promptly remove "poisonous" children's songs from the shelves, investigate and deal with them, protect the legitimate rights and interests of children, and purify online space.
"The buttons of life must be fastened from the beginning." Hu Gang said that it is necessary to increase the systematicness and effectiveness of the cultivation of socialist core values and comprehensively protect and promote the physical and mental health of minors.
