Post Dont let your kids watch youtube kids alone. (L) famousflavius
This is for real. You cant be too careful about letting your kids watch youtube kids app. I know a lot of parents that think youtube kids app is safe and they let their kids watch without supervision.

If you can trust your kids to stick to certain channels (e.g. they understand what that means and will obey you) then that's okay too. Our son is allowed to watch three different YouTube channels that we have confirmed as family-friendly. Because we know we can trust him not to go beyond these boundaries (if another video starts, which happens rarely, the poor guy stops it immediately and comes to us crying) we trust him to watch unsupervised.

Unless those conditions are both met, and the parent has 100% confidence that they will be met, I would never allow a child to watch YouTube or any other public-sourced video site without supervision.

Don’t let them do a lot of stuff alone. People need to stop using technology for baby sitters. As for YouTube Kids, it has been great for my grandsons. They love it and use it to learn. Acts-pert Poster

Post MOMO is showing up uninvited. (L) famousflavius
MOMO has been showing up uninvited as a hack on Peppa Pig, Fortnight and other programs. They are working to fix this problem but have not fixed it just yet.

It's not a hack, they're videos that are uploaded to look they are legitimate children's videos and then have this content in the middle.

If YouTube is doing something about it, this will be the first time. This has been happening with kids videos cutting to porn and violence for a couple of years now and YouTube has not done anything about it.

I've read mixed stuff about whether MOMO is a real thing or not. It seems it later have started out as a hoax and then beca
me something real based on the response to the hoax.

But porn/extreme violence in the middle of YT videos ostensibly oriented toward kids has been a thing for awhile. There's also the more significant issue of the videos YT recommends after a video plays. https://techcrunch.com/2019/02/18/youtube-under-fire-for-recommending-videos-of-kids-with-inappropriate-comments/

Post I discovered the answer Dean Steenburgh
MOMO is a creation of AOC.
This is just the beginning.
Wait til AOC introduces us to her twin DODO ...you'll only be wishing we had embraced socialism!
