Mother discovers suicide instructions for children; hidden in Youtube Kids videos

A mother discovered in a video game a man who gave instructions to children about how to commit suicide, on the Youtube Kids platform. Free Hess of Florida said she was surprised when a woman found the scene and explained that the image had been divided into several more videos of the popular Nintendo Splatoon game on YouTube and YouTube Kids, a video application for children, The Whashington Post. In the video you can see Filthy Frank (Internet character) that comes out of nowhere and says: "Remember children", holding what seems to be an imaginary knife and begins to "cut" his arm. "I think it's extremely dangerous for our children," Hess told The Washington Post. "I think our children are facing a whole new world with social networks and Internet access. The way they are growing is changing, and the way they are developing is changing. I think videos like this put them at risk. " Hess has been reporting on the modified videos and working to eliminate them in the midst of protests. Some experts in children's health have said that the images can be harmful for children. However, Youtube spokeswoman Andrea Faville said the company is working to ensure there are no videos of violence on the platform. "We rely on smart sensing and user dialing technology to mark this content for our reviewers," Faville added. "Each quarter we eliminate millions of videos and channels that violate our policies and we eliminate most of these videos before they have any views. We are always working to improve our systems and eliminate the violating content more quickly, so we report our progress in a quarterly report [transparenciareport.google.com] and we provide users with a panel that shows the status of the videos that have marked us "
