Parental control on YouTube on iPad

is it poss? Ds has been watching angry birds videos on YouTube today and it seems to have linked onto some less than savoury ones. As in birds but not the feathered kind!
Can I put a control on it or am I destined to spend my afternoons watching angry birds with him policing it!

right at the bottom there's a safety link to choose to turn the safety mode on, which says it filters out 'potentially objectionable material'
Let's hope so!

Where abouts is the safety link? Just went into YouTube through the iPad button, and couldn't see it?

Don't have an ipad but go right to the bottom of the website page and it's the last word on the right - Safety mode ON
maybe it's different on ipad - on my iphone it doesn't have this either. Can you let him watch but online, via safari, so you can set the control?

Ah that's the problem - the iPad button can't be removed, and it doesn't have that feature (aaargh!) he knows where the iPad button is now, so I think chances of him watching through safari are slim..luckily it's just cbeebies clips at the moment, but it's only a matter of time.....
