DO PARENTS REALLY LOVE THEIR GENERATION????

- As parents increasingly question the effects technology has on their children’s health and well-being, many are alarmed by the slew of reports coming out about malicious content on YouTube targeting children as young as two years old.
- In a recent statement, Disney and Nickelodeon have said they are looking into ways to prevent these videos from reaching young viewers. Google has also repeatedly apologized for these disturbing videos and admits more needs to be done. Yet with 400 hours of video uploaded to YouTube every minute, vetting malicious content is proving difficult. Recognizing the challenge in December, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki announced that the company will hire more than 10,000 people to moderate videos across its site and identify content that violates its policies.
- Now mental health experts warn that YouTube is a growing source of anxiety and inappropriate sexual behavior among kids under the age of 13, and parents and educators need to get involved.
Signs your child is experiencing emotional stress
Your child is more prone to mood swings.
Your child withdraws from activities.
Your child routinely expresses worries.
Your child is complaining, crying, or displaying fearful reactions.
Your child is clinging to a parent or teacher.
Your child is sleeping too much or too little.
Your child is eating too much or too little.
“There have been times when a child is brought to my office between [the ages of] eight and 10 and they’re found doing sexual things:
oral sex, kissing and getting naked and acting out sexual poses. This usually indicates some sort of sexual abuse.
In the past, whenever I did some investigating, I would find a child who has been molested himself or that an adult has been grooming the child for abuse.
However, in the last five years, when I follow the trail all the way back, it’s YouTube and that’s where it ends,” said Daniels.
Recommendations for parents to restrict children’s media use
Children under 18 months should avoid screen-based media with video-chatting being an exception.
Children 18 months to 24 months should only watch with their parents, with their parents choosing high-quality content.
Children two to five should only watch high-quality video of their parent’s choosing for one hour per day.Children aged six or older should receive consistent limits on media use, with priority given to sleep and activities rather than media consumption.

“When a child is outside playing, he or she is learning how to fail, persist, collaborate, strategize, and problem-solve.
Facebook’s Palihapitiya shares the same outlook, telling his kids, “You go figure it out, go outside, skin your knee, fall on the ground, play a sport, lose at something, and then come back to me and we’ll talk about it.”
The brain of a child who successfully climbs their bike up a hill will be rewarded with a larger dose of dopamine and serotonin [a feel-good chemical] than one who sits in front of a screen.
This helps a child learn how to prepare and work towards long-term goals,” she said.

To address the growing problem, YouTube has terminated more than 50 channels and removed thousands of videos from its platform.
It is also using machine-learning to mine for harmful content targeting kids.
According to its website, the YouTube staff “carefully reviews flagged content 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to determine whether there’s a violation of our Community Guidelines.”
