The government seems to be really working hard to "protect the children from vaping", but there is a much bigger threat to our kids, and they don't seem to be at all concerned about it.
I found out last night that my 10 year old granddaughter has a YouTube channel, and has 37 videos posted so far. I called my son, and he didn't understand the dangers. He just says that all the kids are doing it. She is on there along with my grandsons, who are 5 and 8, along with their friends, who are also in those age groups.
There are videos of her in a bathing suit, and shorty nightgowns. She is not doing anything dirty, but she has no idea that a very pretty 10 year old shouldn't be on there like that.
I googled her name, and one of the places that has reposted her videos is a .......... Her videos are posted all over the place.
I filed a TOS agreement violation with TouTube because she is under 13, and also pointed them to the ......... that has posted her videos, and this is their reply:
"Action Taken Were unable to identify a violation of our Community Guidelines within your recent report to our Safety and Abuse Tool. "
She is mostly doing something called challenges and dares, so I googled her video titles, using her numerous spelling mistakes, so I would only get her results.
These led me to sites that reposted a lot of her videos, as well as the challenges and dares she took part in. Most of the challenges are sexual, and many are very dangerous. So far, she hasn't done the sexual or dangerous ones, but who knows how long it will be before she does.
On several videos, she keeps telling the "boys" (who knows how old these "boys" really are), to stop asking her to strip.
As I looked around, I saw so many other little kids doing the same things on their YouTube channels.
I have very slow internet on my computer, and no sound, but I managed to see quite a lot over the hours I spent checking things out on my cell phone, and I am terribly worried.
I emailed my state senator this morning, and am going to call her office on Monday morning, to see if there is anything they can do about YouTube allowing kids as young as 5 make their own videos for the whole world to see.
I do blame my son and daughter-in-law because at the moment I think they are stupid, and I am very unhappy with them, but apparently they aren't the only stupid parents in the world. There are thousands of them.
Monday, I am going to call my granddaughter's school and let them know how many kids at that school are doing this as well, and suggest that they have some talks at school about the dangers of the internet.
(My granddaughter lives 15 hours away in another state).
Anyway, I just wanted to post this in the forum to see if anyone has any ideas on what I should do????
