Popular kids ' cartoons like Peppa Pig , Toy Story and Frozen are too violent and give children an unrealistic view of pain , scientists revealed .
Animated films such as Despicable Me , Finding Dory and The Incredibles plus TV shows like Octonauts often feature characters that do not show empathy when someone is injured , researchers said .

British and Canadian psychologists described their findings as `` shocking '' .
The results were based on six children 's TV series and ten family movies aimed at 4 to 6-year-olds .
Co-author of the study Dr Abbie Jordan , of Bath University , said : `` How children experience , model , understand and manage pain has real lasting consequences for them as individuals but also for all of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , in particular chronic pain , can have hugely debilitating effects on the lives of children and young people right through into adulthood .

Her team identified 454 painful incidents over 52 hours of footage analysed - an average of 8.66 incidents of pain per hour .
Violent pain or injury was the most common type depicted , which was found in 79 per cent of incidents .
Everyday mishaps like falling over and bumping a knee accounted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scenarios , the researchers discovered .
Analysis of facial expressions showed boy characters were much more prone to severe pain and there was a general lack of empathy from bystanders .
Three quarters of instances were seen by others in the footage and they did not respond in 41 per cent of cases , the study found .
Dr Jordan added : `` We know children spend increasing amounts of time watching these influential programmes and films and that what they depict feeds through to their understanding and awareness of an issue .

The films analysed - dating back to 2009 - included Despicable Me 2 , The Secret Life of Pets , Toy Story 3 and 4 , Incredibles 2 , Inside Out , Up , Zootopia , Frozen and Finding Dory .

One victim of jobs fraud told the Daily Mail that she was scammed out of thousands of pounds in unpaid salary, as well as unknowingly being used to interview other people for nonexistent jobs.
Another reported having to pay £29 fees for a criminal check from a spoof Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) website. A third was tricked into paying £260 for a fake professional course.
In another type of employment fraud, the applicant is lured into parting with personal details in the hunt for a new role, which can then be used to commit financial fraud.
The scammers ask for details such as passport numbers, date of birth, marital status, full addresses, bank account numbers and driving license numbers.

thedailymirror--2020-12-04--Well-ventilated pubs are 'safe and unlikely to spread Covid' claims scientist

A top scientist has said he would feel `` comfortable '' having a pint inside a well-ventilated pub because such venues are highly unlikely to extensively spread Covid-19 .
Imperial College London 's Professor Peter Openshaw , who specialises in viral infections , said ideal breeding grounds for the coronavirus are places that are loud where people have to `` shout to overcome the noise '' .
But a `` well-managed '' average boozer , which abides by social distancing and remains reasonably quiet , is not particularly risky and largely safe to go into , the professor claims .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Time , less than 48 hours after England 's national lockdown was lifted , but with heavy restrictions hampering the pub trade .
Most areas have entered a tougher version of Tier 2 , allowing different households to meet outside pubs for drinks as long as they order a `` substantial meal '' - but not go indoors .
Also appearing on the show , celebrity chef , pub owner and restaurateur , Tom Kerridge , said the hospitality trade was not responsible for the surge in cases during England 's second wave @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Out to Help Out campaign in the summer hospitality transmission rates never rose above 3-5 percent , adding such draconian measures are killing the industry - particularly non-food serving venues - for no good reason .
Mr Kerridge , who has appeared on MasterChef , Saturday Kitchen and Great British Menu , went on to ridicule the loophole which means people in non-wet pubs can order a Scotch egg as their `` substantial meal '' with their pint .
Asked if there is any science to back up the restrictions in pubs , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , said : `` I think it 's fair and very clear that there are things that transmit the virus really well .
`` And that 's often in venues where there 's poor ventilation , loud music , people having to shout to overcome the noise and then you 're omitting a lot of spittle particles , which contain a lot of the virus .
`` If you have a quiet environment with well-ventilated areas where you can have social separation , then there 's lots of well-managed places where you can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on , and drink a pint at the same time where the transmission risk is very very low .
`` But I think it has been clear that loud music and shouting in a close environment is perfect for transmission of the virus . ''

Prof Openshaw said : `` I personally would feel quite comfortable to go into a pub where it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could actually keep your distance from people . ''

Imperial College London Professor Peter Openshaw said the ideal breeding ground for transmitting Covid-19 is places that play loud music as people have to shout to hear each other, meaning virus-carrying spittle particles are more widely released

Kathryn is a retired children's nurse who worked at Duchess of York Hospital and also in care homes. Before lockdown, she saw her daughter two to three times a day.
But the pandemic has changed her life.
Kimberley says her mum has left her basement room just a handful of times over the last eight months.
Aside from trips to the bathroom, she's been taken for fresh air at the basement fire escape and once to sit with the other residents upstairs.
The protracted period in her room has exacerbated her mum's tendency to agoraphobia - a fear of being in situations where escape might be difficult - triggering a reluctance to leave her room now even when she can.
She said: "Before lockdown she was happy to leave her room and would sit with the other residents.
"Lockdown has just been devastating. In eight months she's been out of her room just a few times except for a bath.

In what she says is the only contact she's had with her mum since the start of lockdown, Kimberley was allowed into her room in full PPE to persuade her to accept treatment.
