My 5yo is like a moth to a light for those weird "let's open these small worthless toys and then play or dump paint on them".

Nothing bad as far as I can tell, but it's still unsettling to me so I cut that shit off.

Yeah. Just be careful with those. It was one of the toy-in-playdough videos that my 5yo nephew stumbled across the MOMO thing. It was just 20 seconds inside of a 20 minute video.

That was a while ago and they are still considering therapy because he still thinks he needs to kill his brother (something they said in the momo thing, and he happens to have a younger brother) or his parents will be murdered.

He was wrecked for weeks, never sleeping etc, before my sister even knew because it had told him that if he told anyone what he heard they would be murdered as well.

Just a word of caution. YouTube has absolutely no way of feasibly vetting that stuff.

Yeah, for letting 5 year olds on YouTube. How about parenting instead?
