I'm aware it's all over youtube and social media so some may have heard of it that, even roblox have made a game on it 🙄

but I've heard of quite a few kids actually watching it, some parents held there hands at not checking when i was like, erm you may want to stop them its very disturbing

but some are fairly unbothered about it, im mean like 8,9,10 year olds!!!

I've seen it, i really enjoyed it but I'm in my 30s,my kids are absolutely not allowed to see it,
i wonder how many kids in my eldest year have watched it, (Y8)

AIBU to be shocked by this??

My DD is year two and kids in her class were “acting it out” apparently. We received a message about it. I had to Google it I am that out of touch. The culprit doesn’t have an older sibling so I’m suspicious

I can't imagine young children watched it all, a lot of it was quite slow and the games seemed to go on for ages, I had to fast forward through some of the games, the marbles and the glass tiles as they just went on and on, surely they would have lost interest if they were under about 13 or 14, it was about 8 or 9 hours long.

I know, right?!! DH is currently fuming with his ex-wife as she allowed their 11 year old to watch it. But then she also let him drive the car and allowed the older one to tattoo herself when she was 14 so ya know, hardly Mother of the Year 🤷‍♀️

YANBU My DD who is 18 didn't want to watch this on her own. So I'm waiting for her to come home for uni!

@Shiloh139 you can definitely set it so the adult profiles are password protected as we’ve set it so a password is needed to get on DH/ my profiles but the DC can click on theirs without needing one.

I know a seven year old who has seen it.
Thankfully my kids know not to even ask.

I can't help but judge parents who allow their kids to watch potentially very upsetting content. You can't unsee stuff. It's just awful and frankly shitty parenting.

There’s a kids setting on Netflix, and the main account holder can also age restrict individual accounts. Mine is on 18 (unrestricted) and the DCs are on 15.

Meant to say you need a password to access my area.
