Not all animation for kids
A 5-year-old boy and his 8-year-old brother were severely burned by their 9-year-old friend while copying a scene from Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, a popular Chinese animation series. The medical expenses for their treatment could be several million yuan. It's high time a rating system for animation was introduced in China, says an article in the Guangzhou Daily. Excerpts:
Watching cartoons and playing games with friends are wonderful times during childhood. It is really sad that the children's favorite program turned out to be responsible for their tragedy.
