The Kids Video and Family Video Blog channel on YouTube is one of the most popular channels on video streaming sites. However, in the past, YouTube had problems managing video for children. There are at least 6 channels for children, with 1.6 billion views per week.

Since 2015, when a series of disturbing videos and allegations of unsafe behavior have appeared on the YouTube Kids app, this issue has not been resolved.

However, this time, executives have stepped in and are looking for a solution.

Since February, YouTube and Google CEOs Susan Wojcicki and Sundar Pichai have decided to close comments on most children’s videos. This is the way to stop the spread of predatory comments. They also prohibit minors from going to work without an adult in the room.
