This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The Ofcom Broadcast Code already makes clear that people under eighteen must not be caused unnecessary distress or anxiety by their involvement in programmes. You can read the Code here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
