[Reporter’s investigation] Kindergarten WeChat chooses Mengbao to attract parents to pay for tickets.

　　On November 20 th, Zhongan Online reported to this reporter that the kindergarten where the child is located is holding the "Most Cute Baby" selection activity on WeChat. It seems to be a simple vote, but there are behaviors such as spending money to "increase tickets", which brings a lot of troubles to children and parents.

　　According to the reporter’s investigation, there is an "option" to buy gifts at a high price, and the maximum amount of gifts purchased is more than 600,000 yuan. At present, the activity has been urgently stopped by the education authorities.

　　Parents who broke the news: the selection of Mengbao made parents spend money to increase tickets.

　　The exposer reported that recently, the kindergarten where his children are located is holding the "most cute baby" selection activity. The activity started on November 16th and lasted for one week until the 22nd.

　　"Because the class teacher asked for cooperation, and the children were very motivated, parents were still very enthusiastic about it and forwarded the canvassing among relatives and friends." The informant said, but these days, his children often complain at home, saying that a relative of a certain family gave a castle and won two thousand votes, so why didn’t my family have a gift?

　　Parents feel strange that small voting focuses on participation, but I don’t know why there is a feeling of showing off wealth in children’s hearts. Small-scale garden selection is mixed with strong commercial factors, and the selection has become a show of wealth, which has changed in the hearts of children, and parents around are discussing this matter.

　　At 4 o’clock in the afternoon, the reporter logged into the voting page and found that 31 children signed up for the selection activity, and the link reflected by the exposer was only one of them.

　　Click to enter the "Give Gifts" page, and you can see virtual gifts such as cars (1 o’clock), airplanes (10 o’clock), cruise ships (50 o’clock), rockets (100 o’clock), and golden flying cars (200 o’clock). The most expensive gift is the Dream Castle (500 o’clock). A "point" is worth one yuan for three votes, and the more points you buy, the more votes you will get. If you spend 500 yuan to send a dream castle to your child, you can increase 2000 votes.

　　As of press time, on the afternoon of November 22nd, the reporter clicked the "list" option again and found that the child with the highest number of votes had reached 10,611. Below the photo of the child with the second largest number of votes, it can be clearly seen that the child has more than 9,000 votes and 114 gifts. From the "gift list" below, you can see at a glance who gave what gift.

　　The reporter found that the second-ranked child received the most gifts, with 114 gifts.

　　Kindergarten: Parents have been reminded not to buy gifts.

　　Subsequently, the reporter contacted the garden. A teacher in the garden said in a telephone interview that there is indeed a phenomenon of spending money on gifts in the selection activities, but the garden has reminded parents not to buy them.

　　According to the teacher of the garden, not long ago, a Hengxinda advertising media company found the garden and said that there was a WeChat voting activity. Only the kindergarten provided photos, the company made links, and the parents were responsible for voting. After the selection, the first, second and third prizes were made public and gifts were distributed.

　　When learning that the selection activities can help promote the kindergarten as well as the children in the kindergarten, the garden expressed its willingness to participate.

　　After the official start of the activity, the garden found that there was a purchase of gifts in the voting link, and the garden immediately reminded parents not to buy gifts among the parents.

　　The teacher of the garden said that according to Hengxinda Advertising Media Co., Ltd., there are gifts to participate in this selection activity, and the gifts are provided by Hengxinda Company. The first prize is the brand tablet computer, and the top three have honorary certificates. At the same time, there is also a vote prize. The prize with 19,999 votes is an astronomical telescope, and with 29,999 votes, you can get an electric balance car.

　　As for the parents’ money for buying gifts, Hengxinda said that it is used for charity, and after the activity, the company will provide a list of kindergartens to explain which money for buying gifts is used for which charity.

　　As for where the money went now, the garden replied that it was not clear.

　　Competent department: Stop voting activities urgently.

　　The reporter then reflected this matter to the county education bureau where the kindergarten is located.

　　After preliminary investigation, the county education bureau believes that the selection activity of the "cutest baby" in kindergarten to send gifts and canvass is definitely wrong, and the garden has been ordered to stop the online voting of "cutest baby".

　　"The legitimacy of the selection platform is in doubt. Even if parents of students voluntarily buy gifts for their children, it is illegal. " In the interview, the head of the pre-school education section of the county education bureau said that this selection activity is likely to be an online scam. Because according to the law, it is impossible to raise votes with money in any legal selection activities.

　　After the decision, the county education bureau immediately stopped the kindergarten’s "most cute baby" selection activity and asked the kindergarten to apologize to the parents in writing immediately. For the parents of students who have paid for gifts, the garden will negotiate with Hengxinda Advertising Media Company for a refund after counting the payment amount. If Hengxinda Advertising Media Company does not refund the money, the kindergarten will refund the parents in full and call the police to investigate the legal responsibility of the online voting company.

　　As of press time, on the afternoon of the 22nd, the county had issued a notice, ordering kindergartens at all levels in the county not to participate in such activities. At the same time, all kindergartens were surveyed and found that this phenomenon was stopped immediately.

　　The county education bureau will pay close attention to the handling of this matter in kindergartens. In the future, all kinds of selection activities of this kind of education will be strictly controlled. (Reporter Gu Jiyue Intern Qin Zhou)
