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 “family planning supplies” 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 reporter 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. Why can these “spoke candies” dressed in the guise of “family planning supplies” have a certain market in the teenagers’ group? 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 product can be spread among the teenage students, which shows that ordinary family planning products are still strange, fun and interesting attraction in their immature minds. They even add to the strange “taboo temptation” because these curiosity products are prohibited areas that are not allowed to be contacted.
Fan Xinyuan, vice president of Guangdong Psychological Counselors Association, expert of Guangzhou Minor Protection Committee, and director of Guangzhou Yunxin Psychological Counseling Service Center, said that middle school students have entered adolescence and are at the peak of physical and mental development. They will pay attention to changes in their physiological characteristics and be curious about strange things. “This kind of family planning candy with entertainment-style color will undoubtedly arouse children’s curiosity and desire to explore “sex”, so as to try to unravel the mystery of “sex”, and even have sexual behavior too early. Some criminals may also use their curiosity to seduce children with these items and sexually assault them.”
Cannual CPPCC member Babaylan and director of the Minor Protection Committee of Guangzhou Lawyers Association Komiks and senior partner of Guangdong Nuochen Law Firm Zheng Ziyin believes that this “spoken snack” not only fails to make minors understand sexual health knowledge, but also easily leads to them to form unhealthy sexual concepts.
“Three-no products” have food safety risks
In addition, this type of food often has food safety risks. According to investigations, href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Komiks, many of these products are “three-no products” and have a negative impact on the physical and mental health of students. Zheng Ziyin pointed out that according to the Food Safety Law, if food products that do not meet food safety standards, the relevant departments shall impose fines and confiscate illegal income. In serious cases, the business license will be revoked. If it constitutes a crime, criminal liability must be borne in accordance with the law.
At the same time, according to the “Minor Protection Law”, protecting minors is the responsibility of the whole society. In the social protection part, the production and sale of food, toys, utensils, etc. for minors should be in line with the country. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Cinema or industry standards shall not endanger the personal safety and physical and mental health of minors. “The regulatory authorities shall strengthen supervision and management, and the platform Babaylan finds such unscrupulous merchants that are found to be timely disposal measures and report to the relevant departments. As a member of society, Komiks 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 often find that their children buy such “spoken candy”, and often “provoke a teacher to ask for guilt”. In this regard, Fan Xinyuan suggests that parents do not need to rush to hold accountable or be overly anxious. They can take this opportunity to sit down and talk with their children to understand their children’s recent changes, and do a good job in guiding them.
“KomiksFor sex education, we advocate that Komiks‘s guidance rather than “prevention”, and that it is “teaching” rather than “hiding”. “Fan Xinyuan said that as parents, we should guide children to face their curiosity in a scientific way and through normal channelsLet them learn and understand sexual knowledge, 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 Cinema occasionally try “spoke snacks” and it is hard to say that their personality will be distorted. “However, if you always show interest in this kind of curious product, it reflects an irrational habit of thinking that is superficial and inability to go deep. As a student, you should be clear. Learning knowledge and exploring the unknown ultimately means becoming a person who can think rationally, independently, and scientifically make decisions. You cannot be attracted by the appearance of things and go with the flow, and thus get stuck in the habitual mindlessness of not thinking deeply. “

Market supervision department rectifies bad “Internet celebrity” foods
Reporter in e-commerce href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Babaylan search found that many stores package snacks into family planning supplies under the banner of “spoke gifts” to create so-called “Internet celebrity” food. However, these spoof snack packs often do not have any information on the manufacturer, shelf life, production address, etc., which poses huge hidden dangers to food safety.
In response to this situation, as early as September 2019, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, the State Administration for Market Regulation, and the State Drug Administration jointly launched a special action on implementing the “four strictest” requirements for food and drug safety across the country, and clearly proposed to take a heavy blow to “Internet celebrities” food safety violations. The State Administration for Market Regulation stated that it will seriously attack food safety violations committed using the Internet, e-commerce platforms, social media, TV shopping columns and other channels. Once unqualified food is found, it will be investigated and dealt with immediately without mercy.
Since this year, market supervision and management departments in many places have carried out rectification of relevant “Internet celebrity” foods. According to previous media reports, the market supervision department of Suzhou City, Jiangsu ProvinceDuring a special surprise inspection, some internet celebrity snack shops found that there were 29 types and 503 “Internet celebrity” snacks sold by two stores, and most of them were “spoke” candies. Among them, 8 products and 181 products are not marked with product standard codes, producer information and other labels. Cinema and ingredients lists are veritable “three-no” foods. Law enforcement officers immediately took compulsory seizure measures on all the above products and will investigate the above two stores. (Ding Ling)
