 He was only 14 years old when he was
 executed in an electric chair. 5,380
 volt to the head!! And 70 fuckin years
 later he was proven innocent. Rest in
 peace lil one

 May his innocent soul rest in peace.

 George Stinney Jr of African descent was the
 youngest person to be sentenced to death in the 20th
 century in the United States.
 He was only 14 years old when he was executed in an
 electric chair.
 During his trial, even on the day of his execution, he
 always carried a bible in his hands, claiming to be
 innocent.
 He was accused of killing two white girls, 11-Year-old
 Betty, and Mary of 7, the bodies were found near the
 house where the teenager resided with his parents.
 At that time, all members of the jury were white. The
 trial lasted only 2 hours, and the sentence was
 dictated 10 minutes later
 The Boy's parents were threatened, and prevented
 from being present in the courtroom, and
 subsequently expelled from that city.
 Before the execution, George spent 81 days in prison
 without being able to see his parents.
 He was held in solitary, 80 miles from his city. He was
 heard alone without the presence of his parents or a
 lawyer
 He was electrocuted with 5,380 volts in his head,
 imagine all that voltage in a teenager's head.
 70 years later, his innocence was finally proven by a
 judge in South Carolina. The boy was innocent,
 someone set it up to blame him for being black.

 We were sitting on the floor of the bathroom
 watching YouTube Kids to distract him from the
 bleed, when I saw it.
 It was a simple, innocent cartoon until it
 happened.
 Four minutes and forty-five seconds into the
 video, a man quickly walked onto the screen,
 held his arm out, and taught the children
 watching this video how to properly kill
 themselves. What did I just see? Did I really just
 see that? I immediately turned off the video. My
 son's nose stopped bleeding, and I further
 investigated the video in private while he went to
 play. I watched it again, certain that I had
 dreamt it up. I know YouTube had some sick
 videos, but I thought YouTube Kids was safe.
 They sure make it seem like it is.
 But no. There it was again. Four minutes and
 forty-five seconds into the video. The man
 quickly walked in, held his arm out, and tracing

 But - no. There it was again. Four minutes and
 forty-five seconds into the video. The man
 quickly walked in, held his arm out, and tracing
 his forearm, said, "Kids, remember, cut this way
 for attention, and this way for results," and then
 quickly walked off.
 Not much shocks me. I'm a physician, I work in
 the emergency department. I've seen a lot.
 But this did.
 This video was intentionally planted on YouTube
 Kids to harm our children. He waited until
 parents' guards were down, thinking their kids
 were just watching a harmless cartoon when he
 made his entrance four minutes and forty-five
 seconds into this video.
 How can anyone do this?

 What else do our children seen on these apps?
 I reported the video and asked my friends and
 family to report. Hours later though, it is still
 up, and I wonder how many children have seen
 this video since. Those apps are all now deleted
 and will never return to our household.
 I am disturbed, I am saddened, I am disgusted.
 But I am also relieved that I was there to see
 this video with my own eyes, so that I could take
 the appropriate actions to protect my family. I
 would recommend everyone reading this to take
 these same steps as well.
 Today I was grateful for my son's nosebleed.
 UPDATE: PediMom was able to get this
 particular video removed from YouTube Kids
 therefore it is no longer ahle tn he viewed This

 ATTENTION: Do not leave your children
 unsupervised with YouTube. I've heard a lot
 about these type of videos that seem
 nnocent & are marketed towards children..
 but have perverted imagery & messages in
 them that are imprinted into your childrens
 subconscious mind. stay woke

 Dear teenage boy at skate park: You're probably about fifteen years old, so I don't
 expect you to be very mature or for you to want a little girl on your skate ramp for
 that matter. What you don't know is that my daughter has been wanting to
 skateboard for months. I actually had to convince her that skateboarding wasn't for
 just for boys. So when we walked up to the skate park and saw that it was full of
 teenage boys who were smoking and swearing she immediately wanted to turn
 around and go home. I secretly wanted to go too because I didn't want to have to put
 on my mom voice and exchange words with you. I also didn't want my daughter to
 feel like she had to be scared of anyone, or that she wasn't entitled to that skate park
 just as much as you were. So when she said 'Mom it's full of older boys" I calmly
 saidΒ·So what, they don't own the skate park. She proceeded to go down the ramp
 in spite of you and your friends flying past her and grinding rails beside her. She only
 had two or three runs in before you approached her and said Hey, excuse me...
 immediately prepared to deliver my "She's allowed to use this park just as much as
 you guys' speech when I heard you say "You're feet are wrong. Can I help you?' You
 proceeded to spend almost an hour with my daughter showing her how to balance
 and steer, and she listened to you; A feat not attained by most adults! You held her
 hand and helped her get up when she fell down and I even heard you tell her to stay
 away from the rails so that she wouldn't get hurt. I want you to know that I am proud
 that you are part of my community, and I want to thank you for being kind to my
 daughter, even though your friends made fun of you for it. She left with a sense of
 pride and with the confidence that she can do anything, because of you.
