In the face of the dismay of mothers and nursery school teachers, good intentions are not enough, but concrete action is needed. Ours is not a censorship act, but responds to the need to face the defeat of parental controls and the crisis of parenthood. A débâcle exposed by social networks and, above all, by the dozens of reports that the experts for digital security of the new generations have collected from all over Italy. quotas
The contact person of the Carolina Foundation, a non-profit organization established following the suicide of 13-year-old Carolina Picchio, the first victim of cyberbullying in Italy, would then have declared having received some testimonies and reports from concerned parents for the imitatory and violent behavior of their children, following the vision of Squid Game.
My son beat up his little friend while playing Squid Game.
My daughter’s backpack was knocked out of the classroom window because she lost to Squid Game, she doesn’t want to leave the house anymore.
My kids weren’t invited to their partner’s party, because they don’t want to play Squid Game.
A petition is now online, which in a few hours has already reached 1500 signatures, which aims precisely at the censorship of Squid Game in Italy. On Change.org it is possible to read the thoughts of Ivan Zoppi, the aforementioned referent, regarding the request to censor the series.
From today it is possible to sign the petition to block this content, deadly for the smallest users and the most fragile young people. At this point, the only possible solution seems to be old-fashioned censorship. Someone will turn up their noses, but now it seems the only possible tool to defend the principle of safety of minors. quotas

In recent days, a similar episode had in fact been reported from Belgium, where children emulated the games of the TV series with a violent meaning.
