Parents in the UK raise concerns after children are given handmade paper hedgehogs that are made from pages of an explicit or erotic novel. Reports describe the gifts as small, innocuous-looking crafts distributed in retail locations, including Tesco and Morrisons, by an older man. According to multiple accounts, the man says he creates the hedgehogs as a hobby and uses old books for the paper. The incidents come to light after some parents inspect the crafts more closely and find that parts of the hedgehog models contain pages from a sexually explicit publication. The Guardian reports that the distribution is connected to efforts to raise funds for charity, and that complaints are made to police. Other coverage focuses on parents’ shock at the content used in the crafts and on where the items were handed out to children. The story centers on the use of explicit material in gifts intended for children and the resulting complaints following public distribution.
