The Issue

Gun violence is an alarming epidemic that tragically claims the lives of too many children. As a parent, I believe it is our duty to protect our children and foster a safe environment for them. Yet, I recently discovered a grave issue on Netflix that threatens the innocence and safety of our young ones.

A show titled "The Amazing Digital Circus" on Netflix has an episode that teaches children to use a loaded gun in a game of modified Russian Roulette, euphemistically called the "Trust Game." This episode is rated PG, similar to family-friendly films like "Monsters, Inc." and "Shrek." As a concerned parent, I find it appalling that such content is considered suitable for children as young as 8 years old. This is not a small oversight; it is a critical failure of Netflix's ratings system.

Gun rights advocates stand for gun safety, and this program clearly promotes violence and dangerous gun practices, jeopardizing the very principles of safety. It is crucial that parents have the tools to make informed decisions about what their children are exposed to. When a platform like Netflix, used by millions around the world, fails to provide accurate content ratings, it undermines a parent's ability to keep their children safe.

Netflix must take immediate action to review and rectify their ratings system. They need to engage with parenting groups, educators, and content specialists to establish a more rigorous and reliable process for content categorization. Additionally, platforms should allow parents to flag content that appears mismarked, ensuring continuous quality and safety.

Together, whether you support gun rights or advocate for gun control, let's unite in demanding that Netflix empowers us to protect our children effectively. Let's force Netflix to prioritize our children's safety by giving us accurate ratings and empowering us to make the right choices.

Please sign this petition to demand that Netflix urgently address and correct their flawed ratings system. Our children's safety depends on it.
