SCHOOLS have urged parents not to let kids watch violent Netflix hit Squid Game after they were found copying it.
The series sees debt-ridden contestants tackle survival tasks for a mammoth cash prize.
The Korean show title comes from a playground game in which children run at the words “green light” but are out if moving at “red light”.
In the show, losers are shot.
A parent in Deal, Kent, said: “We’ve received 2 school letters (primary/secondary) warning parents about letting kids watch Squid Game.”
One Belgian school said kids had mimicked the show’s outcome by beating up eliminated players.
Netflix has issued sex, violence and suicide content warnings for Squid Game which it rates as appropriate for 15-year-olds and over.
Charity Parentkind urged parents to “exercise judgment”.
