Call to ban kid’s TV ads

TV advertisements during kids’ programmes should be banned because children are getting too hung up about the latest toys and gadgets, a new report says. A group of experts looked at how kids live their lives for the report called The Good Childhood Inquiry. Companies put advertisements on TV to try to sell more of their products. But the report says adverts aimed at kids under 12 should be banned and there shouldn’t be any ads for alcohol or unhealthy food before 9:00 pm.
