The YouTube Kids parental guide states: "Our automated systems select content from the broader universe of videos on YouTube.
"We work hard to exclude content that's not suitable for children. But we can't manually review all videos, and no automated system is perfect. If you find something inappropriate, you can block it or report it for fast review.”
