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 was 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? How should parents deal with buying this type of product when they encounter their children? 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? 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 student group, indicating that ordinary family planning supplies still have strange, novel, fun and interesting appeal in their immature minds. It even adds a strange “taboo temptation” because these curiosity products are prohibited areas that are not allowed to be contacted.
Babaylan, vice president of Guangdong Psychological Counselors Association, and Fan Xinyuan, an expert of Guangzhou Minor Protection Committee and director of Guangzhou Yunxin Psychological Counseling Service Center, said that middle school students have entered adolescence, which is the peak period of physical and mental development. They will pay attention to changes in their physiological characteristics and will be curious about strange things. “This kind of family planning product-style candy with entertainment colors will undoubtedly arouse children’s curiosity and desire to explore “sex”., thus trying to untie the mystery of ‘sex’ and even have sexual behavior prematurely. Some criminals may also use their children’s curiosity to seduce children and sexually assault them. ”
Lawyer Zheng Ziyin, member of the Guangzhou Municipal CPPCC, director of the Minor Protection Committee of Guangzhou Lawyers Association, and senior partner of Guangdong Nuochen Law Firm, believes that this “spoken snack” not only fails to allow minors to understand sexual health knowledge, but also easily leads to them to form unhealthy sexual concepts.

In addition, this type of food often has food safety risks. According to investigations, 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 are produced, the relevant departments shall impose fines and confiscate illegal gains. In severe cases, the business license of Babaylan 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 Komiks‘s “Minor Protection Law”, protecting minors is the responsibility of the whole society, and in the social protection part, it is also Babaylan stipulates that the production and sale of food, toys, utensils, etc. for minors shall comply with national or industry standards and shall not endanger the personal safety and physical and mental health of minors. “The regulatory authorities shall strengthen supervision and management. If the platform finds such unscrupulous merchants, they shall take timely disposal measures and report to the relevant departments. As a member of society, you can also report such phenomena in a timely manner. “Zheng Ziyin said.
Komiks suggests that parents take the opportunity to do a good job in sex education
Parents find that their children buy such “spoken candies”, and Cinema often can’t hold back and often “provoke a gang and ask for guilt”. In this regard, Fan Xinyuan suggested that parents do not need to rush to hold them accountable,Don’t be too anxious. You can take this opportunity to sit down and talk with your child, understand the recent changes in your child, and do a good job of guiding.
“For sex education, we advocate ‘relieving’ rather than ‘blocking’, ‘guiding’ rather than ‘prevention’, and ‘teaching’ rather than ‘hiding’.” Fan Xinyuan said that as parents, we should guide children to face their curiosity in a scientific way, let them learn and understand sexual knowledge through normal channels, 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 people who have not tried “spoke snacks” occasionally, so they will distort their personality. “However, if you always show interest in this kind of curious product, it reflects an irrational habit of thinking that is superficial and cannot be in-depth. 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 fall into the habitual mental laziness of not thinking deeply.”

Previous Market Supervision Department rectifies bad “Internet celebrity” foods
Reporter found on e-commerce platforms that many stores package snacks into family planning products under the banner of “spoke gifts” to create so-called “Internet celebrity” foods. However, on the packaging of these spoof snacks, Komiks often does not note the manufacturer, guaranteed period, production address and other information, 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 use the Internet, e-commerce platforms, social media, and TV shopping columns to commit food safety violations.Take a heavy blow and file a case and investigate and deal with unqualified foods immediately, without any 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 regulatory authorities of Jiangsu Province Suzhou Market was conducted on special surprise inspections on some internet celebrity snack stores and found that there were 29 types and 503 “Internet celebrity” snacks sold by two stores, most of which were “spoke” candies. Among them, 8 types of products, 181 products are not marked with product standard codes, producer information and other labels and ingredients lists. They are veritable “three-no” foods. Law enforcement officers should take compulsory seizure measures on all the above products and will investigate the above two stores. (Ding Ling)
