Experts warn of the dangers of children playing Squid Game when schools return to normal

Several schools had expressed their concerns over Netflix’s Squid Game, and children possibly mimicking some of the violent behaviour seen in the series in the playground.

Warning for parents: Don’t let your kids play Squid Game

Facebook group Safe On Social Media has shared a warning for parents to keep an eye on what children are watching online – especially with the risk of them copying the games played when school returns to face-to-face learning.

According to the post, several schools had expressed their concerns over Squid Game, and children possibly mimicking some of the violent behaviour seen on the show in the playground.

“Parents should know that the level of violence is highly intense in Squid Game, and it is not suitable for young teens and primary school-age children,” the post reads.
