Children exposed to disturbing content on the home computer, despite the best intentions and efforts of parents who have installed filters and monitoring systems to protect their children from inappropriate content.
Children whose parents believe they are watching harmless and age-appropriate videos (such as Pepper Pig and Frozen), may be exposed to disturbing violent or pornographic content involving their favorite characters.
Disturbingly, this content isn’t picked up or caught by YouTube and YouTube Kids and can appear on your children’s screens without warning.
Clinical psychologists warn that children exposed to this content can suffer anxiety, depression, and nightmares or may start acting out and behaving violently or inappropriately.
If your child has been exposed to one of these videos, psychologists recommend that you talk to them about it, reassure them that they are safe, and seek professional help if they continue to be scared or experience nightmares.
