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?

If they're still testing the filters, then they should have 4 giant letters "BETA". Otherwise, seriously screwed up content shouldn't automatically be added to Kids mode.
Well, it really is none of your business. Just stay away from the Kids section. If they tell you it's safe, don't believe them. Problem solved.
