Hello Parents,
Today I just wanted to bring attention to the kid friendly videos that are on Youtube. Please take the time to preview and monitor the videos that you are allowing your children to watch. There are indecent individuals out there that are clipping parts of a kid video and inserting adult and inappropriate content in the middle of the videos. If you are not viewing these videos with your kids to catch this insanity, then you will not know. The video's audio is not clipped. It runs none stop through out the entire length of the video. Google and Youtube are working together to prevent this from happening so they have launched KidYoutube. Even after launching KidYoutube, some parents are still finding inappropriate content. The CCFC is requesting that Youtube become a little bit more aggressive and preview the videos before allowing these videos to be uploaded online. I agree 110%. The first thing I want to do as a parent is to protect my child's innocents as long as possible. There are some measures you can take as a parent and they are:
4. Adjust the safety mode on Youtube to filter out adult content as much as possible.
3. Create a playlist on youtube specifically for you child(ren).
2. Use other apps such as Sprout, Kideos, etc. I have not heard anything negative about these apps to date.
1. Last but not least, Watch and monitor the videos with your little ones.
Make sure to check out my video on Youtube!
