Moment of Speechlessness

So I was preparing a few kids for drawing competition this afternoon and decided to have a warm up exercise. I asked them to draw characters of a family and asked them to tell the story of this family. Time limit; 15min.
One of the kids finished drawing within minutes while the others took a long time. So when they were all done, I asked the kid who was first to present his story for the family he's drawn.
"So this is daddy and he is drunk(holding a bottle) and he's beating mommy(with a crying face), and the two little sons are trying to hack daddy(holding kitchen knives) but they got beat down by daddy...."

"............."

"So anyone in your house drink?"
"No, my dad works in another city, my mom doesn't drink and my neighbours don't drink either."
"So how did you come up with this story?"
"Oh, they(Ministry of Education/school) kept telling us about alcohol abuse."

"..........!"

Talk about a capable government.
今天教導幾位要參加繪畫比賽的小朋友。先來點熱身活動:在15分鐘內畫出一個家庭(爸爸媽媽跟小孩),然後要發表這個家庭的故事
有一位小朋友一下子就畫完了,其他的拖了很久。
完了叫他們說所畫的家庭的故事,叫那位很快畫完的先講...
"這個是爸爸(手上拿著酒瓶),他喝醉了一直打媽媽(媽媽表情在哭),然後兩個弟弟那著菜刀要砍爸爸...."
我頓時無言。。。。
然後問:"你家裡有人喝酒噢?"
"沒有啊!"
"啊你怎麼想出這個故事?"
"就他們(教育部)都常常在宣導喝酒的事啊!"
我又頓時無言。

什麼政府啊?
