Instructions on how to commit suicide in Youtube Kids videos
Today we bring one of the most cruel and despicable actions that we have found online since its inception. It is not a scam, but it uses bad practices to encourage the suicide of children who are watching the videos.
We talk about “Youtube Kids”, a branch of the platform “Youtube” belonging to the gigande “Google”, aimed at children, where you can see cartoons and children’s series on demand.
Who more or less we have left our children use our mobile phone or tablet to view videos on this platform and thus have them entertained. It has been discovered that, embedded in some of these videos, there was another video of a few seconds, where a man appeared giving instructions on how to commit suicide with clear gestures of cutting the veins. In the video you could hear “On the sides to draw attention and along to make it effective”, alluding clearly to the direction of the blade in the arm.
It is something that has left us perplexed and that is why we wanted to add it in a post to warn fathers, mothers and teachers of the bad practices that some people have. Here you can see the fragment of the video in question and how the man’s cut appears suddenly.
This is a cartoon on @YouTube. At 4.44 secs a man is spliced in showing children how to properly slit their wrists. #thisisnotok #protectourkids #parentsdemandaction. Link to full video and to report in comments. pic.twitter.com/ur1xVpLoqR

Remember to be always attentive to everything that happens on the Internet because we never know the way that cybercriminals act.
