Mom Says YouTube Video With Beloved Kids’ Character Took Turn: ‘Gonna Kill the Lot of You’

Hannah Bishop, a mom in Tennessee, found her two-year-old son watching a scary parody of “Thomas the Tank Engine” on YouTube Kids. Instead of singing his happy song, the character’s face turned dark and aggressive. In the video, Thomas, the usually friendly blue train, threatened, “I’m gonna kill the lot of you.”

As noted in the British Daily Mail, Bishop expressed concern that this type of content could get past Youtube’s content moderation policies and be accessible on its platform for children.

“I don’t even have words for this,” Bishop wrote in a Tik-Tok post. “Needless to say, we are looking for a different subscription for Brody to watch,” she continued.

In the comments section of Bishop’s post, various other parents sounded off about inappropriate content being available on Youtube Kids. “YouTube Kids gives me the creeps so, so bad. I got rid of it within a week of putting it on kids iPad,” said one.

Fox News Digital reached out to YouTube for comment. A spokesperson explained, “This video was found to be violative of our content policies and has been removed from the YouTube Kids app. We built YouTube Kids to create a safer environment for kids to explore their interests and curiosity. Videos available in the app are determined by a mix of algorithmic filtering, user input and human review.” (Read more from “Mom Says YouTube Video With Beloved Kids’ Character Took Turn: ‘Gonna Kill the Lot of You'” HERE)
