Peppa Pig: Psychologists find ‘shocking’ levels of violence in children’s TV show

Experts have found “shocking” levels of violence in children’s television shows, including Peppa Pig.

The characters appeared sympathetic to the victims of pain in just half of the incidents, with a lack of empathy recorded in several other instances.
