South Korean show Squid Game is the latest Netflix drama series to capture everyone’s imagination.  

The nine-episode thriller became an international hit after it launched last month. 

The show follows cash-strapped contestants play childhood games, but if they lose they are killed in gruesome ways. 

We are hearing stories of children 11, and even some younger, in school yards playing games such as ‘Red Light, Green Light’ and boasting about how they have been allowed to watch the gorey series – which is rated for ages 15 and above.  

Have you encountered trouble with your child wanting to watch the series?
