Should a twelve year old girl be allowed to access Utube?

Also is there a way to block some of its content but not other . For example allow popular music videos, but not explicit ones?

Should a twelve year old girl be allowed to access Utube?
i have an account and the only let you see "adult" videos if your D.O.B = over 18 so if you let her have an account and make sure her D.O.B is her real birthday she cant access those videos. you cant access those video's without a account anyway. also those video's are never porn or really rude things. some have a little swearing but nothing much (but i haven't really gone looking for that type of thing so I'm not 100% that there could be something worse on youTube)
Reply:Call me paranoid, but I wouldn't allow a twelve year old to have access to Youtube without parental control. There are many explicit and inappropriate videos on Youtube, videos that include sexual acts or nudity, all of which a twelve year old should not have access to.

If you are contemplating on whether you should allow your twelve year old child to access Youtube, you should make an account and use her actual year of birth, that way all uncensored videos will not be able to be viewed/accessible. The inappropriate videos can only be viewed if the member is over the age of 18, so instead, when signing up and becoming a member, write her actual year of birth, which should be 1996.

It's always best to control your child and to give consent only when you are aware of what she is viewing. Placing the computer in the living room or in an open area of the house will also increase prevention, that way you know what is being viewed (unless you want to check the history). Good luck!
Reply:i know you're worried about what she sees on the internet and thats a good thing, but even if she doesnt see it on the internet, it's always still going to be talked of in schools and between social gatherings with friends. My uncle is a preacher and he tried everything he could to shield his son from that type of stuff but it didnt work out because of other children. They will eventually know this stuff and you might not know if they do. I learned about sex when i was 11 from my mom. In my opinion, instead of shielding pre-teens or teens from this stuff, parents should have more conversations with them about it and things they should do to protect themselves, or things that are right or wrong about it.

Reply:Keep the computer in a common room in the house, like the living room and when possible be involved with the 12 year old in what she is looking for and looking at. Share her interest and use that as a way to guide her away from things you feel she is not ready for.
Reply:yes as long as you have parental controls set at medium and they cant find porn, check your history every week and your google search history, find out what they watch
Reply:Yeah, as long as you're careful. Some videos say uncensored, just stay away from those I guess.
Reply:The vids are blocked anyway. I'm 13 and I'm always on it, my parents don't really care.
Reply:just make an account for her that is under 18 so that way she can't acces those videos it would say she is too young
Reply:no I am 12 and I think you tube is horrible and dangerous
