> And after that I blocked YouTube, as there was just too much adult content for a nine year old.

Did the same for my 6 year old. Yes, there is a lot of stuff I dont want my kid watching.

He used to watch video game videos, mainly by other kids, so I didnt mind.

Then one day, I heard him swearing. Looks like some (a lot?) of these kids swear, even in games like minecraft. And they use sexist language; again, these are videos by kids, some just a few years older than my son.

And now Youtube is banned.

I dont understand where this "helicopter" parent thing comes from. Like another commenter says, will you let you kids eat anything they want? Watch TV till 11 in the night?
