Homicidal Anaphylaxis Scene in Sony's "Peter Rabbit" Angers Parents of Kids with Allergies

Sony's new adaptation of the classic Beatrix Potter stories about
the mischievous Peter Rabbit doesn't look like it is going to pay
homage to the original tone of Potter's lovable tales. Instead,
mouthy, rude rabbits juke around to thumping beats using slang
language while destroying private property.

The preview looks pretty grim. Peter and his friends appear to be
more like inner city gang members than a family of country rabbits
looking for extra carrots. If that isn't bad enough, parents of
food-allergic children are on high alert after reports surfaced on
Facebook of a disturbing scene that gives them nightmares.

"We saw it today and we were not prepared for what we saw," Nicole
Dre wrote on Facebook. "McGregor talks about his allergy to
blackberries and how it makes his throat close. Peter and the rest
of the rabbits attack him by launching fruits and vegetables at him.
After a good amount of vegetables, they start launching blackberries
and specifically aim to get them in his mouth. They do and he goes
into anaphylaxis and uses his epi-pen.

Peter also talks about how allergies are made up for attention and
sympathy. Absolutely disgusting."

Parents have flooded Sony's Facebook page with requests for comment,
but so far Sony has refused. PJM reached out to Sony but received no
response.

Families who suffer with deadly allergies live on edge all the time.
It is a terrifying existence where one contact with a surface that
has been contaminated could mean death for their loved one. In our
homeschool community, we have one such child who has had at least
three scares that landed her in the hospital this year. Anaphylaxis
in children is terrifying and deadly. Worse, the parents of
afflicted children report that they face bullying from others at
school because of their allergies. In one extreme case, a child was
killed when school bullies reportedly tossed cheese into his mouth
knowing he was deathly allergic, the New York Post reported,
"A schoolboy with a severe dairy allergy died after a cheese
sandwich was allegedly stuffed or flicked into his mouth," the paper
reported. "It was believed Karanbir Cheema, 13, may have been
targeted by bullies due to his condition. Another pupil, also a 13-
year-old boy, was arrested. Karanbir, known to pals as Karan, died
on Sunday at London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital after 12 days in
intensive care. He suffered an allergic reaction after an incident
at William Perkin C of E High School in Greenford, West London, on
June 28. It is thought a group taunted him with the sandwich."

How do the makers of a children's movie at Sony get it so terribly
wrong? Peter Rabbit was mischievous and disobedient, but he wasn't a
homicidal maniac. Killing Farmer McGregor was never part of Peter's
goals. How Sony could write this in without thinking about their
audience is hard to comprehend.

I hadn't planned on taking my kids to see this beloved classic
corrupted by Hollywood anyway, but now I hope you'll skip it too.

Take some time to educate your kids about the dangers of exposing
severely allergic friends to allergens. It is important that they
know an EpiPen isn't a cure-all and a hospital stay always follows
while a family sits and prays they will have one more day with their
child.
