Concern over raunchy soap opera's child viewers

Young viewers of the controversial soap opera Golden Orange Flower- some as young as six - say in an Abac opinion poll they enjoy watching love scenes featuring cuddling and "the main female character looking for men to sleep with."

The selected interviews were with young viewers who watched the show together with their parents, among 2,160 respondents living in 17 provinces. A number of children, the youngest aged six, complained about being asked to turn away from the scenes, to stop watching them, or being sent to bed during certain scenes not suitable for children, despite their "+18" rating.

Asked to describe "enjoyable scenes", the children cited cuddling, noisy quarrels, and attempts by the female villain to look for men to sleep with, said the survey, which found that 21 per cent of viewers were under 13 years of age.

PM's Office Minister Ong-ark Klampaiboon met with Channel 3 to discuss provocative content in Golden Orange Flower, now six episodes from its conclusion. The only measure worked out from the meeting was that parents should give advice to teenage children when watching the show, while preventing younger kids from watching it.

Ong-ark said he suggested Channel 3 feature running captions saying viewer discretion was advised, but Channel 3 had not yet responded to this idea.
