Schools have urged parents not to let their children watch Netflix’s Squid Game, amid concerns that children are copying its dangerous scenes, local media reported.

Netflix’s Squid Game is a South Korean show that sees hundreds of debt-ridden people compete for a cash prize in a series of survival tasks masked as playground games. It has also sparked a debate within South Korea about toxic competitive societies and prompted new interest in the country's culture and language around the world. As per Netflix, Squid Game has officially become Netflix's biggest original series launch.

Despite that, its huge popularity has filtered down to the playground, and now many schools have even warned parents not to let pupils watch it if they are younger than the recommended 15 age rating. Schools have raised concerns over children who are watching this are being exposed to graphic scenes of violence and sadly children are acting out these behaviors.

They urged parents to be aware of the dangers of this TV program for their children and control what content their children can watch on Netflix.
