Within a few clicks, we were able to access a cartoon video called I’m The Best Assassin, which shows characters being murdered with knives.
Other content included a “magic trick” which showed someone shoving a fork in their eye and a youngster having a tooth removed by Nerf gun.

“They need to monitor this more closely.”
YouTube changed the age setting on one of the videos after being contacted by The Sun.
