Moms please double check!!

I probably don’t need to say this, but I’m going to share my story.

I bought my daughter a Amazon Fire Kindle HD for kids. I love it and don’t regret it, lots of learning games and videos, etc. She had a “kids YouTube” app. I’ve been monitoring that because something about it had me uncomfortable but hadn’t yet found a reason to delete it. Some home made little videos of kids and crafts, some cartoon things. Well, today she was watching some Sonic the Hedgehog game thing, I didn’t approve of the music playing so I changed it then looked back at the tv screen... she then changed it again.. I noticed and tuned my ears in.... wait for it.... I could hear a man talking as if he was doing a commentary on a game of Sonic. Sounds innocent right? Who would think it’s something to worry about right? Weeeeelllllll.... I looked over to see a man with a “Sonic the Hedgehog” scary-smiling painted face and a bloody slit throat. Yeah, I typed that right BLOODY SLIT THROAT! (Photoshop obviously) I immediately took the tablet and deleted it.

I’m just sharing my story because it SOUNDED perfectly innocent. As a parent you listen in on what your kids are doing and at times don’t think twice because it SOUNDS FINE. Please double check!! I can not believe someone made this SICK video on a children’s site.

I shared this anonymously because I don’t want those few people who will be like “should have known better than to allow that app” blah blah. I only allowed her to watch it sitting next to me and as I said I monitored it. As soon, and I mean AS SOON as I seen bad I deleted it. I’m just saying, please double check and protect your sweet, innocent children... there are some sick people in this world..
