YouTube Kids is safe for kids, right? Wrong. Nothing online is completely safe. 27% of videos watched by kids 8 and under on YouTube Kids are actually intended for older audiences. And 6% of videos include mild or moderate sexual content. Pair this with the addictive features and manipulative advertisements, and you may re-consider letting your kid watch YouTube Kids without your oversight.In this episode, Scrolling 2 Death co-hosts Nicki and Ashley reveal the truth behind YouTube Kids. A few takeaways:  A safer option is the children's area of Netflix or Disney Plus, where content is not user generated and self-flagged.  Watch YouTube Kids with your kids. If you see something inappropriate or distrubing, be sure to report the video. Consider upgrading to YouTube Premium (currently $13.99/month) so your child doesn't see ads.  Regularly review the parental controls and make adjustments as needed. Set strict screen time limits within the app.  A quick note: This podcast covers topics such as suicide, disordered eating and traumatic events. Listener discretion is advised.
