Children use Web to watch videos, look up sex and porn
This post is directed to the parents out there, or people with young brothers or sisters. We all love YouTube, but there are many videos there that are not appropriate for young children. I have written about this in my two popular articles:
Sex on YouTube - A Parent's Guide
Sex and Porn on YouTube - A Guide For Parents
I just read this news release today which starts with the headline:
Children use Web to watch videos, look up "sex"
It talks about a study of the top 100 search terms used by youngsters to find items online. As YouTube fans like us might expect, YouTube was the top search term! The ninth most popular search term was "Fred" - the most subscribed YouTuber - as we all know by looking at the Top 100 Weekly Chart.
But the words "sex" and "porn" were also it the top 10, at number four and six respectively. The news article says:
California-based Symantec's Internet safety advocate Marian Merritt said the list showed that parents needed to be aware what their children were doing online.
"It also helps identify "teachable moments" when parents should be talking with their kids about appropriate online behavior and other issues in their kids' online lives," she said in a statement

Comedy For Kids
If you are under 18, you've probably seen these four videos already.
This time, YouTubeStars presents four vids that the kids find very very funny! Each has millions of views, so it's obvious that people keep watching these and passing them around among their friends. Have a look, even if you're not a teenager anymore, and see if you find yourself laughing at these Comedies For Kids!
First, some News! Our buddy VenetianPrincess is in a contest. She recently wrote to say, "I am writing this email in hopes that you guys are willing to help me out here. I entered my video into a local contest to get to sing on a commercial that will be aired during the American Idol Finale in the Massachusetts and Rhode Island areas... Please vote for me by giving me five stars... Here is the link: http://www.cardis.com/idol/ You can find my video by scrolling down, my video is labled Jodie Rivera... I can't express how much I would appreciate your vote. Thanks so much!!!!!"
The kids of JKLproduction have created a character named Fred. Fred, a 6-year-old with a mom who has less than perfect parenting skills, is often out of control. Things get broken as his temper flares. In this video, Fred tells us about his Halloween experiences. If you like Fred, he's made his own channel! (Someone must love Fred - several of the Fred vids have over 4 million views!) Go subscribe to the new Fred channel!
Fred on Halloween
Heyyy, Charlie! Everyone must have seen Charlie The Unicorn by now - it has over 22 Million views! Sarcastic Charlie meets the silly red and blue unicorns and they journey to Candy Mountain. Charlie doesn't think there IS such a place - "Shun the non-believer!" Don't go in the cave, Charlie!
Charlie The Unicorn
Nigahiga is the Number Three Most Subscribed YouTube Channel, according to the Top 100 Weekly Chart. These two Oriental young men have several "How to be" videos that each have millions of views. Watch this one and learn How to be Gangster, their most popular vid with almost 10 Million views!
How to be Gangster
Smosh is another two-man videomaking team. They have been Number One Most Subscribed for many months, moving into that spot when LonelyGirl15 cooled off. With so many subscribers (over 340 Thosand!), each of their videos quickly gets over a million views. In this silly skit, Boxman gets a girlfriend. What will happen? "Humans and boxes don't intertwine!" Hmmm, is it the Montigues and Capulets all over again? Watch and see - almost 4 million people have so far!
