You might let your children watch YouTube to keep them amused. But it’s definitely not the best babysitter. Kids worldwide are exposed to content they just shouldn’t see, but they’re drawn to the popular platform and will find a way to watch, despite your best safety efforts.

YouTube Addiction

According to one report, almost 30% of teens spend at least an hour at a time on YouTube, and 16% watch for one to two hours of videos daily. Think you can keep up with watching what they watch?  YouTube is the biggest video sharing website in the world and even with  a team dedicated to reviewing and removing explicit and harmful content they can’t keep up completely. So, chances are your children will be exposed to offensive or disturbing videos, even if that content violates YouTube policies.

Whether it’s a dangerous act or cyberbullying, violence or sexual harassment, you don’t want your children consuming, or worse, imitating that content. But kids are smart. And where there’s a will they’ll find a way to download what they shouldn’t download or watch what no one meant for them to watch.
