A Florida mom and pediatrician warned parents to better monitor their children’s internet activity after she found a disturbing clip that appeared to encourage children to harm themselves, inserted into gaming videos on YouTube and YouTube Kids.
Dr. Free Hess, from Gainesville, Florida, found the 9-second-long suicide instructions sandwiched between clips of the Nintendo game Splatoon last week and shared it online to caution other parents. "Remember kids, sideways for attention, longways for results," a man said while demonstrating the cutting motion on his arm. "End it."
The man, identified by CBS News as YouTuber Filthy Frank, has over 6.2 million followers and refers to himself in the description of his page as “the embodiment of everything a person should not be.” There is no evidence that Frank, whose real name is reportedly George Miller, inserted the suicide instructions into the video.

The pediatrician found seven more unsettling videos on YouTube Kids on Friday alone. "I had to stop, but I could have kept going," Hess said. "Once you start looking into it, things get darker and weirder. I don't understand how it's not getting caught."

Parents of teens alert. Suicide rates among kids is rising. Get your kids off the games, have them rally for the constitution! Or, follow Q if over 13. Learn to think for themselves, QQuestion everything, and do research with/for reliable sources. (I do have to admit I was QQuestioning this article but it is correlated with the tactics of the left). You have more than you know.
Don't ever give up.
"If you have thoughts of suicide, confidential help is available for free at the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Call 1-800-273-8255. The line is available 24 hours, every day."
I’ll bet the creep is a democrat...
>>”Remember kids, sideways for attention, longways for results,”
Millenials have been spouting that self-harm “emo” crap for 20 years now. The line is not new and it is horrendous.
But Yourube is okay with it. It’s not a spoken counter argument to Socialist government (as Dennis Prager gets the “Adults Only” shun for some of his Prager U videos).
Good grief. Why would I want my kid to follow ‘Q’?
I’d get them into a library, and over to the Hillsdale College free online courses on history and the Constitution.
Electronic babysitters/parents. Should this really be a surprise? It really bothers me that young people have the internet on their phones and they are glued to them. Do parents really know what they are viewing?
Smash him with a huge rock!
Want to start a real firestorm?
Post “Suicide for LGBTWXYZ”s and see what happens.
I’d “Trust Sessions.”
But Alex Jones is the one who got booted.
After serious monday morning pre-coffee consideration, a full JDAM asset allocation is authorized.
Explain to my why the world wouldn’t be better off without this asshole.
“Get your kids off the games”
I’m the one playing the video games.
4 L8r
WTF was that????????
Holy crap, I am with you on the JDAM asset allocation.
Hillsdale is GREAT! Free classes online, too. I’m sure your kid is being taught to think on his/her own, but once taught, knowing the enemy is good. Don’t know how much of our western history has been overwritten or downright lies so I would recommend a study of bare naked truth based on scripture.
Anyway, for those interested:

This is not strictly suicide. It is murder.
Someone (him if he is found to be the one) should be charged for attempted murder, and murder if his instructions were carried out.
After all, we just had something like this with that girlfriend on trial for similar about a month or two ago.
I say we dust off and nuke the whole site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure...
LOL I envy you. I never get past the first few steps (never got past a first level). Hmmm. would make a good psych study.
My niece created a game and just released it. Don’t know if you are into girl drama and she is a lib out in Seattle! :)
