[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the pediatrician mom (or something like that) has a blog which shows the actual videos with the messed up content, she has screenshots too. "urban-y" sounds like a baby boomer who doesn't realize how messed up the internet is. /signed a millennial [/quote]

I said that t feels like an urban legend. I said that because there is more hype and fear involved in telling the story than kids actually seeing the YouTube content. For example., my dd’s school had a special assembly about the Momo challenge (which was found on YouTube in the last couple of days). We got an email. I had never heard of it and then felt like throwing up after googling Momo challenge. The puppet is nightmare inducing. But there are a bunch of images and news articles but obviously no actual video. I asked my dd about, and she has no idea what anyone is talking about. FWIW I also have a 3yo and know quite well that YouTube content can be complete garbage. And I’m a millennial too, though I don’t like advertising it. [/quote]
