Every adult has had a childhood, and there will always be more or less unforgettable people, things, and things in childhood. For example, when we were young in the 80s and 90s, we were also obsessed with collecting character cards in the crisp noodles of the little raccoon, and the fun brought by the collection even exceeded the charm of the snack itself.
Today's children are just as obsessed with Ultraman flashcards as we were when we were children, and even some elementary school students spend thousands of dollars to collect flashcards.
Shortly after the start of school, Ms. Fan accidentally discovered that her little nephew, who was still in elementary school, had collected hundreds of Ultraman flashcards. These are the treasures of children, and they are simply loved. Only as soon as I have free time, I fiddle with them one by one, like a number of treasures to introduce to everyone, what is this called, what is that, which is more rare, which is the most valuable.
Originally, the adults in the family did not take it too seriously, children, who does not have a hobby.
However, as the number of children's cards increases day by day, the number becomes more and more amazing. Ms. Fan couldn't sit still, and pulled over her little nephew to carefully ask where the cards came from. The child obviously knew that what he was doing was inappropriate, and it took half a day to explain the truth. Ever since he became obsessed with cards, the little nephew began to steal money to buy cards at the commissary at the entrance of the school.
In just one month, he had already spent more than a thousand yuan.
Upon hearing this, Ms. Fan was anxious, a child who was only a few years old. Is the merchant so indulgent in his "throwing a thousand dollars"? Isn't that a lie to children?
Ms. Fan took her little nephew and hundreds of Ultraman cards with the police, and came to the commissary at the entrance of the school to ask the merchant for a refund.
As soon as she entered the door, Ms. Fan scattered the cards on the ground in a pile and asked the merchant for explanations: "The child said that the cards were bought at your home, and you fooled the child to say that there is any appreciation potential, he is so small, and he spends a lot in your store again and again, don't you ask?" I asked for all of them to be refunded. ”
Hearing Ms. Fan's intentions, the merchant was also very rude: "I didn't tell him that there was any appreciation value, you ask him yourself what I said?" The child shook his head in fright.
The merchant continued: "I open the door to do business, say you will return?" The state stipulates that the return of goods will not affect the secondary sale. How do we sell you like this. We also asked your children, do your adults know? The child said he knew! Where the merchant has your parent phone, call you back! ”
The businessman turned his head and asked the child with a very bad attitude: "Is your money spent at my house?" The child was a little afraid, and timidly whispered: "Yes." The merchant immediately shouted, "You are so hateful." "The merchant remembers that the child has not come a few times, so he is very annoyed by the child's answer."
The two sides quarreled with each other. Each has its own rationale.
Ms. Fan believes that the child is only ten years old, but often takes a hundred yuan bill to buy cards, a box of cards is priced at more than ninety, but the merchant does not stop or inform the parents, let the child consume, is deliberately. The merchant is responsible and must return the card.
The merchant believes that he is only responsible for selling products, the money is taken by the child from home, and the parental supervision is not in place, and the parents should be responsible and should not come to the merchant for trouble. It's a sentence: "Why don't you take care of your children first?" ”
The two sides could not argue, and the police could only take the two sides to the police station for mediation, and the market supervision department also participated in the mediation. In the end, the merchant agreed to a refund, and the matter also had an ending.
After this lesson, it is estimated that the child will no longer dare to secretly take money to buy things casually. It is a good educational opportunity for children. If the parents still do nothing this time, it is inevitable that more losses will be caused in the future.
But from this matter alone, I think the responsibility of parents and the responsibility of businesses are half of each.
First of all, parents usually buy Ultraman cards for their children online to support their children to collect cards and play cards. If it were not for the knowledge that the child had spent thousands of dollars privately, it would not have interfered. There is nothing wrong with children loving to play, but parents should have the right guidance, and cannot let children be too addicted to it, or even act recklessly. The performance of the child is obviously that the parents have not fulfilled their responsibilities of guidance and supervision.
Secondly, children can take large amounts of money from home at will, and more than once or twice, which shows that the child's money awareness is not cultivated and guided. Parents also do not do a good job of managing their children's money.
And I have to say that the merchants at the entrance of the school are really very good at catering to the "market demand", very sophisticated in speculating on the psychological needs of children, 90 yuan a box of cards, only 46 pieces, using the way of blind boxes, may burst out rare cards, so that children are trapped in it and can not extricate themselves.
Children are still young and have not formed the right values. It's easy to follow suit and chase things that don't have much value orientation. So the commissary at the entrance of the school should really strengthen supervision. Most parents cannot let a ten-year-old child go to the commissary with a hundred-dollar bill to buy food and drink toys at will, and the merchant knows that the responsibility should be half.
What do you think about that?
