Egyptians have criticized an interior ministry’s cartoon in which the police urges children to report suspicious activities and ‘bad guys’ without referring to parents. A cartoon launched by the interior ministry late last month has drawn criticism from the public that deemed the content dangerous. For Parents and activists, the government is turning kids into ‘informants’, Middle East Eye (MEE) reported. The police officer thanked them and instructed them not tell anyone, not even their parents, about what they had reported. According to the interior ministry, the cartoon seeks to protect minds of children and teach them the role of the police in serving children.
