Don’t let the “child star” debut overdraft the child’s innocence

On August 20th, the idol group “PANDABOYS” released a single in Chengdu to announce their debut. It is understood that this group consists of 7 boys, the average age of the members is only 8 years old, the youngest is 7 years old, and the oldest is only 11 years old. This news caused great controversy on the Internet. Some netizens joked, “We just want to’cultivation’, not to’parenting'”; some netizens expressed concern about the debut of young idols: “At such a young age, children can study hard. , Isn’t it good to enjoy childhood? Why should they be used as a tool to make money?” (August 23, “Half Moon Talk”)
Nowadays, some parents are keen to put their children on the entertainment or commercial stage prematurely. At a young age, they are sent to the so-called “child star agency” and let them wear explicit costumes, dance adult dances, and sing lingering love songs. , The heavy-handed construction has obviously destroyed the law of human development and growth. In particular, some parents are even more motivated by greed, let minor children wear bikinis as “child models” and “scratch their heads and pose” in public, seriously damaging the children’s physical and mental health.
It is undeniable that the so-called creation of “child stars” and “child models” and “idol development” is actually a kind of child abuse. It’s just that this kind of child abuse has gone through “artistic packaging” and is not prohibited by law, so it is sought after by many parents and businesses. Although some practices are legal, they are not reasonable. For example, letting children become so-called “child stars” and “child models”, instilling impetuous mentality and utilitarian thinking in the entertainment industry prematurely, or even imposing them on children, this method of pulling out seedlings and promoting growth will inevitably cause children to become deformed. Grow up, and even become a precocious “little adult” with bad habits. In particular, the excessive utilitarianism of parents has given some criminals the opportunity to take advantage of the fact that the frequent occurrence of online naked pictures of girls, naked chat scams, and “over-the-air” molestation of girls is a profound lesson.
“Child star” debut, “idol development” is younger, it is worthy of many reflections. First of all, parents should rationally choose the way of education, not to encourage them, let alone be influenced by utilitarianism. At the same time, the relevant departments should come up with a decisive and tough management measure. In addition to introducing the reality show “child restriction order”, it is also necessary to establish a children’s TV column (program) declaration and approval system. Furthermore, strict restrictions should be imposed on the violence, vulgarity, dangerous plots and uncivilized language in children’s film and television works, and the “view” of minors should be limited to the scope of protection. In particular, the relevant departments should play a supervisory role, purify the cyberspace, earnestly implement the “Network Protection” chapter, and provide comprehensive online and offline protection for minors. In addition, the new advertising law should be strictly enforced, and public media such as television stations should be restricted from broadcasting advertisements endorsed by minors under the age of 10.
