Yes its the sun so there will be many 'its untrue' type replies. But it seems accurate to me. YT kids is great but obviously they cannot filter out everything, I would have thought though, that before being put on youtube kids, the videos would be watched in full..then watched again if they are edited?!

Seemingly not. I know a few will say 'well kids shouldn't be on youtube anyway' or whatever, but thats kind of besides the point IMO. And I don't really see them watching youtube stuff (mine watch 'ryans toy reviews'..which has to be one of the most annoying things in the world) thats age appropriate as any different to watching TV. I do supervise the kids when they are on them, but obviously I still have to go to the loo and stuff, and all it takes is a bad timed piss and mine could be watching stuff like this :S Now going to get them to turn it off when am at the loo or in the kitchen making a cuppa..but..what kind of a person would put messages in cartoons and such encouraging kids to kill themselves, just ****ing vile.

PARENTS have been issued a chilling warning after trolls uploaded cartoons to YouTube Kids spliced with a hidden message encouraging children to kill themselves.

One horrified mum, who's son watched the vile video, fumed: “This video was intentionally planted on YouTube Kids to harm our children.

“He waited until parents’ guards were down.

"How can anyone do this?”

It is not known who uploaded the sick clips - with YouTube sometimes leaving them up for days until they are taken down.

The video, cut with an episode of popular kids cartoon Splatoon, features a clip from YouTube prankster Filthy Frank.

He appears on screen smirking and wearing sunglasses before describing how kids can harm themselves before signing off with "end it".

Filthy Frank, who is followed by more than 6 million subscribers, racks up millions of views with "anti-PC, anti-social and anti-couth" videos.

Some feature him bathing in a bath of noodles and eating raw squid but one was of him pretending to be a One Direction fan committing suicide.

He was unavailable for comment when approached by The Sun Online - but there is no suggestion he played any role in trolls editing the cartoon.
