You may have seen news reports about inappropriate children’s videos on YouTube.

 

These are videos that, at first, appear to be for children, as they include cartoon characters such as Peppa Pig, or characters from Disney films such as Frozen. However, later on the videos become violent or disturbing.

 

The videos can appear in YouTube search results when children look for genuine children’s videos.
