Grounds for decision Framställningen innehåller inslag av obehaglig stämning, en man var ansikte lossnar och faller av, ett enögt skelett samt en kvinna som river loss skinn och kött från sin egen kropp tills endast ett blodigt skelett återstår. Detta kan medföra stark rädsla och oro. Framställningen bedöms kunna vara till skada för välbefinnandet för barn under 11 år.
