Iyi çocuk olursanız şirinler'i görebilirsiniz hakkında yalan yanlış bilgiler.
I translate it as something like 'if you happen to be able to see false information about good kids being cute...'
It doesn't really make much sense. I found it as a random remark as I followed up the meaning of olursaniz. I also don't know why hakkinda is out of its natural place in the sentence.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks so much, altugt. That translation makes perfect sense. In modern English, we tend to say: 'if you are a good child' not 'if you be'.
