Several hundred children Throughout the country they are having a bad time every time the commercial of a horror movie that is obviously not for children is on television.

AdvertisingIn summer a lot of cinema is released, it is common. Cinema for all tastes and for all ages, we have more time to go to the cinema and it is logical to multiply the options in the rooms.
What begins to be less logical is that some movies not suitable for minors, are advertised on television during children's hours with all its consequences, negative consequences for children, something that seems to have not taken into account television networks when programming those ads.
The news has jumped these days by a new horror movie that is being announced on different national television networks, another one.
This is titled "Never turn off the light" and in the spot we can see the terror on the face of a child who seems to have to lie down, as thousands of children do every night and turn off the light to sleep, at which time the terrifying situations of history begin.
A mom, tired of seeing how his son suffered when he saw that spot by chance on television, He decided to write on the Facebook wall of the television network where they had seen the announcement, explaining what this spot was doing to his son and proposing that they notify the audience in some way so that children did not see this type of ads that not only They are not directed at them but they also do not understand and generate anguish and panic.
Your message has already received over 37,000 reactions and has been shared more than 20,000 times. It is seen that his son is not the only child who suffers when the announcement of the horror movie appears on television, in one of the countless advertising breaks of any of the programs or movies or series that are scheduled these days.
Ads that are not for children
Television in Spain has long developed a Code of Self-Regulation of Television Contents and Children and it is for this code that television networks should obey simple and concrete rules such as those that speak of "Protected schedule".
Yes, the "protected schedule" runs from 6 in the morning to 10 at night. You have read well, there is no typo.
In addition there are reinforced protection strips, Monday through Friday from eight to nine in the morning and from five to eight in the afternoon and on Saturdays and Sundays, from nine in the morning to twelve at noon and The same in the afternoon.
If we are talking about a horror movie, a movie that is generating nightmares and fear of the dark to several hundreds of children who by chance see their advertising, do you think that the ads of a movie like this are in that strip that marks the schedule childish?
