Hasbro Doll Could Help Pedophiles Groom Children
Hasbro Doll Could Help Pedophiles Groom Children
Why this petition matters
The Hasbro Dreamworks Trolls World Tour Giggle and Sing Poppy Toddler Doll could be used by child sexual predators to groom children and should be taken off the market.
This doll has a button her on her private parts that must be pushed in order for her to make several gasping and giggling sounds. There is no mention of this button on the outside packaging and only a small mention of it in the inside instructions. The packaging says that the doll makes sounds when sat down; however, because of how this button is positioned, it must be pressed.
At a time when parents are doing everything they can to teach about bodily autonomy, this doll makes it harder for parents to teach children that their private parts are their own.
This doll would make a perfect grooming tool for an abuser. Pedophiles who groom children are constantly looking for ways to slowly show children that what they are experiencing is normal.
This toy needs to be taken off the market and shame on Hasbro for not considering children's safety before making a toy like this.
Please sign this petition to tell Hasbro, Dreamworks and Walmart to remove this doll from the market and to stop manufacturing toys that could put our children at risk of being groomed by pedophiles.
*Note it appears that only some of these dolls have this “special” feature.
