wishing i was somewhere e
How many of you out there let your young children visit this site? I know quite a lot of it is funny but some things which are supposed to be innocent have been turned into foul mouthed videos. My kids 5 & 8 year olds are lookin at for instance Thomas the tank engine or fireman sam only to find someone has dubed foul langauge over it which to me is quite unacceptable. I find myself looking over their shoulder when they visit this site in case they have to listen to foul language on what you would expect to be clean entertainment.:mad:
 
My 4 year old is banned from youtube now after a lazytown incident.....
She was googling lazytown innocently and one of the links was two sportacus guys bumming each other, not so nice to explain.
 
I know but you try and bring up to what is acceptable only for one of them to come up to me and tell me what thomas has just said and for me to explain that what he said is wrong.

This is one of the challenges of parenting. When I was raising my young'uns violence in films was the big thing at the time. This is more or less the same, just in a different form.
 
What is wrong with them hearing a little bit of swearing? They will hear it in real life on an almost day to day basis anyway. Just don't let them repeat what they hear. They have to learn somehow, you can't just seal them away and block them from everything bad.

Fair enough possibly when they are 12 or something, but at 5 and 8, I feel that is a bit young.

My brother's stepdaughter is 4 and knows what swearing is. She tells people off for using naughty words all the time, and not once have I ever heard her swear herself.

What's wrong with that?
