Tips for committing suicide are appearing in children's cartoons on YouTube and the YouTube Kids app.
YouTube Kids is theoretically a curated collection of videos that are safe for kids. Apparently, someone forgot to tell YouTube/Google that. Sure, YouTube probably has some butt covering clause in their EULA. That doesn't excuse such an oversight, though. It's very easy to see overworked, stressed parents, giving their kids access to YouTube/YouTube Kids. Kids have enough to deal with, without having to deal with grown-ups twisted thoughts. This seems more like insidious minds at work to me. What do you think?

Seriously? If the kids are getting a regular diet of this kind of shit, they won't show signs of being disturbed when they see it again.
And, why would any parent want some potential pedo watching their children while they watch cartoons? Taxes? So - you're seeing potential profit in all of this. Got it.
