CASE 0157/13
Reason: Violence Causes alarm and distress to Children ; Health and Safety Within prevailing Community Standards
Dora the Explorer is a show for young children and infants less than five years of age. Our 3 year old daughter does not need to know about skeleton monster dolls, that via their very names, for e.g. scaris, let alone styling and colours are designed to be frightening. It was rather difficult to explain what these dolls were and that she didn't need to be scared by them. I object to our child being frightened via unsuitable advertising screened during a very popular young children’s' show.
The complaint was dismissed.
