The activists are taking their agenda to the net to corrupt our children minds

i am quite worried about this. it's so hard to know what my kids are watching too!

I think the only thing we can do is to raise awareness and be sure that our children are constantly in touch with us as parents for our views and values. It’s just too difficult to cut off channels of alternative views, you filter one out, 10 more will appear, and they are just getting more aggressive these days. Talk to your kids and keep them grounded with your values, if they don’t hear your views, then they may take on someone else’s.

Yup, there is no other way. Internet stuff are coming out faster than what the authorities can do. So the addiction to internet communication has to be channeled back to family communication.

agreed, family communication is key, always keep the lines open.

Family communication is definitely the best way to go about and ensure your children are protected from negative influences like these.


Alternatively, YouTube has just released an app specifically for kids. They carefully curate the content providers, and they have things like time locks, and the best part, there are NO ADS!

Go check it out on your respective app stores.

If you're on an iOS device and try downloading it, you'll most probably not be able to find it because it is restricted to the United States only. BUT, there are ways to work around it. We've prepared a simple tutorial to help parents with the download. You can check it out here:

Hope that helps!

How old are your kids? I agree with 3Boys, especially if your kids are already teenagers. If they are younger, I would simply control their access to the internet more strictly, make sure they access it in a high-traffic area in the house (not in their bedroom), ask them periodically what they watch (for conversation, not as an inquisition), and sneak peeks over their shoulders as you walk by. Hopefully, with open channels of discussion, by the time they are older and on the internet much more and without much supervision, they will be grounded in the values of their parents.

Just look up the history in the browser. It should tell you what they’re watching.
