A mum who banned her son from watching YouTube Kids has revealed the reasons behind her stance and how the youngster has since changed for the better. Donatella, who offers an insight into her family life on TikTok, explained that she took action after coming across another mum online who said her child had "began acting weird" after using the streaming service. "When she asked him why he was acting nervous, the child strangely responded by saying, 'because I don't want to kill you'," she said.
In a bid to learn the reasons behind the child's upsetting wording, the other mum discovered it was something he had seen on YouTube Kids. She claimed: "If it looks like a cartoon, sounds like a cartoon or appears 'kiddy', then it makes it on YouTube Kids.".
WARNING – explicit language in TikTok video below, viewer discretion advised. She went on to claim that "f***ed up people" have worked out how to put "subliminal messaging" in what sounds like a kids' programme. "I looked into it and it's actually really scary how many videos there are out there." Donatella confessed.
Sharing an example of such a video, she continued: "There will be like a cutesy little bear who will say, 'this evening when your parents go to bed, go and get a knife and murder them'.". "Instantly we were done, YouTube Kids was out," Donatella said. "My son is six and trying to explain to him why he can't have YouTube took a moment, but I decided to tell him the truth and he's quite mature so it freaked him out.".
