TV cartoon favourite SpongeBob SquarePants is\u00a0a violent bully who corrupts children\u2019s minds, officials in Kazakhstan have ruled.<\/p>\n

Its education ministry viewed several episodes and is now telling parents not to let their children watch the surreal animated show.<\/p>\n

They say the cartoon character creates a culture of hooliganism, violence and bullying.<\/p>\n

Zabira Orazalieva, chairman of the Committee for the Protection of Children\u2019s Rights, said the cartoon character \u201chas a negative impact of the minds of children\u201d.<\/p>\n

She said: We witnessed how SpongeBob regularly inflicts violence on others in his community and seems to enjoy what he does.<\/p>\n

This has a detrimental effect on children.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis shocking behaviour remains in the child\u2019s mind and influences how they behave themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

The grim-faced officials from the ministry stopped short of banning foreign TV channels which broadcasts SpongeBob as the cartoon is also shown on YouTube and other social media sites.<\/p>\n

But Oraztalieva stressed the responsibility lay instead with parents.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cKazakh parents should not allow their children to watch the SpongeBob SquarePants cartoon.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe witnessed how the cartoon SpongeBob regularly inflicts violence on the others in his community and seems to enjoy what he does. This has a detrimental effect on children.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis sort of shocking behaviour remains in the child\u2019s mind and influences how they behave themselves.<\/p>\n

“It gives them the idea that behaviour like SpongeBob is something positive and to be encouraged.<\/p>\n
