A childhood experience

In speak of a scared and traumatized childhood experience, the first thing came to my mind would be the Detective Conan. Detective Conan is a Japanese detective manga series written and illustrated by Gosho Aoyama. It's a series of manga that opens to readers of all ages while there are so many murder scenes and murderous techniques clearly described in each episode. Those explicit murder scenes are the most direct and scariest elements that make Detective Conan the scar of my childhood.

Until today, I still remember the episode called Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case. As the title speaks itself, it's a tragic murder case happened in a mountain villa where a group of people stayed for vacation. Dead bodies and chopped heads wrapped with bandage are all depicted explicitly. From then, this episode has always been my scar. I would never watch it again though I am a grown-up now. My parents did nothing at that time since they felt that if the manga has already been approved to publish by relevant regulation department, it should be ok for children to read. However, I don't think that was a right way to handle the case. No matter it's a horror manga or a thriller movie, as long as it has inappropriate violent factors like dead bodies, it should be banned from children. And my parents should have taken actions like taking away those comic books, comforting me and explaining to me that those criminal scenes weren't true so that they wouldn't become my childhood scars. Also, I feel like there should be a rating system that is similar to the film rating system for these publications like comics and novels. By doing this, children would have a more healthy and parents would know more about how to protect their children from reading inappropriate content.
