  "I jumped down from the teaching building, and I floated to the ground like a leaf. However, I didn't fall to the ground, but fell into a splendid tunnel." A book called "Dad in My Pocket" The children's book of the book described the topic of suicide in such an understatement, and the result was so "beautiful".

  "Children's outlook on life has not been established, the ability to distinguish right from wrong is weak, and the three distorted views in children's books may cause children to imitate, with disastrous consequences!" said Wang Donghua, prosecutor of the Shenzhen Procuratorate of Guangdong Province, not without worry.

  Although the above-mentioned children's books have been ordered to be taken off the shelves after the parents reported, the market is still full of all kinds of "problematic children's books", which is a wake-up call for people on how to protect the physical and mental health of the next generation from being hit Bad publications with the name "children's books" are poisoned?

Prosecutors’ review of "problematic children's books"

The hearing was broadcast live through the Sina Live Room, attracting 340,000 enthusiastic netizens online.

  According to Wang Donghua, some parents and representatives of the National People's Congress have recently reported to the procuratorial organs that some of the regularly published children's literature or comics have disqualified content, improper three views, and even portrayal of eroticism, violence, and foul language.

"Children's books are the spiritual food for minors. Problems in children's books will endanger the healthy growth of minors and harm the public interest. After reporting to the higher prosecutor's office for approval, we launched a public interest litigation investigation on the'problem children's book'."

  After investigating some children's books circulating online and offline, the Shenzhen Procuratorate concluded the "six sins" of "problematic children's books":

  The content is bloody and violent.

An animal comic book with eerie and terrifying style, and there are many violent and bloody scenes when animals are killed.

  Erotic description is not suitable for children.

A book marked "designed for young children", which contains anthropomorphic descriptions of animal estrus and mating scenes.

  The three views are not correct and the interest is low.

Some children's books have vulgar ideas and low interest. There are many contents that exaggerate vulgar values ​​such as "rich, powerful, and beautiful are successful".

  Spread the fallacy and go against science.

A child’s book borrowed from the protagonist as “older mothers give birth to idiots”. A certain nature picture book interprets the saying “wheat wheat covers three layers of quilts this winter and sleeps with buns on the pillow next year” as “cover the wheat with a quilt to protect it from severe cold and frostbite. A bumper harvest is expected in the coming year." These statements seriously violate science and common sense.

  Children's books are not "children" and their positioning is chaotic.

A comic version of a religious book believes that life is nihilistic, advocates escape and is not suitable for children to read, but is positioned as a children’s book for sale;

  False publicity, improper marketing.

  Liu Hanjun, Director of the Sixth Prosecution Department of the Shenzhen Municipal Procuratorate, said: “We hope that through this hearing of the case, we will pool our wisdom, reach a consensus, and form a joint effort to effectively solve the many chaos in children’s books, and keep the'problem children's books' away from children and return They read the sky in a green!"
