Schools around the world are sending an official letter urging children not to expose their children to the violence of the Netflix drama ‘Squid Game’.
Yonhap News reported on the 15th that schools around the world were scrambling to warn parents to be careful not to expose their children to ‘squid game’ content.
A public school in Florida, USA, said to parents, “It is determined that the squid game is not suitable for children.” .
A public school in Sydney, Australia, has also reportedly sent a letter to parents asking them to ban their children from watching the squid game.
A school in the southern Brazilian state of Parana has issued a parental notice urging children under the age of 10 not to watch the squid game.
An elementary school in northeastern London, UK, also warned that children who watched the squid game and played gunfights with each other on the playground were concerned, and warned that students who imitate the actions in the drama will be disciplined.
A Belgian school said on Facebook that “The Squid Game is a series that has been banned for under 18 years of age due to its violent scenes, and sanctions will be imposed on students who continue to imitate and play hitting other children.”
Meanwhile, in Thailand, even the National Police Agency stepped forward and held a press conference asking parents to carefully supervise the squid game so that teenagers do not watch it, saying, “There are scenes of violence in the squid game, which is rated for those over 18.”
In Indonesia, the local branch of Amnesty, a human rights group, was reported to foreign media by using scenes from a squid game as a material to educate about cases of violations of eight basic rights, including the right to life and the right to work.
