Should i be concerned about my 6yr old daughters sexual curiosity?

[Justjenn7]

my 6 yr old daughter has been watching YouTube videos.. Mostly makeup tutorials or barbie dream house/ monsterhigh skits & things like that..One time my husband went to her room & she quickly exited out her screen & her face loomed as if she was just caught. My husband (Her dad) then came to me worried that shes seeing something she shouldnt.ive put restricted for sexual contact on all devices i let het use. But when i looked it was some youtuber playing with barbies sexualy..kissing Humping naked & dirty talk. So obviously i told her this kind of stuff is not for little girls, she can't read or even spell very well so i know she couldnt have searched for this her self. I asked why she was watching this when she knew it was wrong.. She said nothing & had her in trouble about to cry face on.. I told her she was not in trouble i just need to know because its not good for her. She said she just clicked on it & she tried to click on others but she couldnt find the good barbies. I believe her & i should just probably be more aware of what she watches but my husband on the other hand is seriously thinking something as in sexual abuse is going on (we have alot of older boys in our fam all a little over the age of puberty) her dad was molested when he was a child by his boy cousin & also his sisters by his own father. So i think hes overreacting due to his past but i dont wanna be wrong.. How should i go about this?

know symptoms of sexual abuse- be smart- not nieve- I think all kids have a natural curiosity- and girls are bombarded with images - that affect them! It is sad- but just be careful- I am a MS Child Development Teacher, and also victim. I am hypervigilent- but with current statistics- you have to be. And- its mostly someone you know and trust who becomes abuser. Trust your gut, but be smart- protect your kids- I know you are- or you wouldn't have written what you did. One in 10 is low end statistic- and of abusers - 90% people you know- 7/10 incidents of sexual abuse is perpetrated by teens. Sad but scary mostly. Take care!

I think that with the ridiculousness on the internet/cable, kids really don't need their own tv/computer in their room.  Sounds way too old fashioned, but I've seen the good results time and time again with friends who have adopted this measure.  My daughter has a record player in her room (same one I had when I was a 6 yo kid, she's 7).  She can watch t.v. in the family room and she can use the computer in the family room.  Trust me....it works! They learn how to use it responsibly and the exposure to the stuff they DON'T need to be exposed to, is far less likely to happen until they are old enough to deal with what they see (of course they will eventually see it).  At 6, they should not have to make those choices.

You shouldn't let her be on youtube alone in the first place..ughh..barbie,,monsterhigh??! INNOCENT?!?!!? UGH you obviously don't have a clue how to raise a human being in this world. they should really require a license to have children, inadequate people only have them because they thing its like having a doll or because "it was time" or to get child support. You should be the one playing with your daughter, she shouldn't have to watch play with me vids, you are creating a lonely child. take a computer out of her room. YOU ARE THE ADULT, PROTECT HER! Also, monsterhigh is nothing but a way for evil corporations to get into your child's mind, have you ever even seen that crap?!? THEY ARE WALKING DEAD MINI SKIRT SLUTS?!?!?! (and they will eventually turn you child into one too if you don't stop it) WTFFF WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!
PS; I created an account just to tell you this so don't let me down.

It was an accident, I think. If she was watching barbie videos, and the video in question featured barbie then she obviously got it from a suggested video. My cousin once tried to visit barbie.com when she was 6, also wasn't a very good speller, and ended up at a porn site. When I walked in she was trying to exit out of all the porn popups that resulted. I quickly closed them for her and got her to barbie.com. I was a kid, but I didn't think anything of it as she was clearly baffled at all the porn. I did tell our parents and they didn't think it was an issue, turned out to be a pure accident. I think your husband is reacting to his past. it's a bit obvious to me that she got to it from a suggested video. If suggested videos didn't exist, then it would be okay to find it questionable.

It sounds like she watches normal videos, and clicks on to some mildy inappropriate things out of curiosity. I'm sure she must feel some guilt but this seems well within normal levels of exposure and exploration. Definitely don't tell her that she's watching something naughty if she clicked on it by accident, but something 'inappropriate' that she should avoid. Feelings of guilt will make it so much harder to talk to you if she does ever stumble on something actually troubling, or has a bad encounter with someone older. Foster a healthy discussion about these things with no accusations.

I think you're blowing this out of proportion,  Jenn.  I believe she was looking around for barbie stuff and ended up in this weird youtube,  or if not,  she was just curious.  Curiosity is a good thing - I really don't understand children who have no curiosity whatsoever about sex and never try to find out more.

it is completly normal for children boys and girls to be sexuallay curios espacially at this age (around 6-8) years old so you have nothing to worry about except one thing that is the way they learn about this stuff as it is crucial for you to educate your daughter about about sex in an appropriate healthy and simple way because it is a very dangerous thing to leave your child‘s sexual curiosity for the internet some stuff could shock her and give her a wrong idea about sex (some stuff on the internet still even shocks me as an adult) , as Children should understand the very basics of reproduction: a man and a woman make a baby together, and the baby grows in the woman’s uterus, Children should understand their body is their own Teach her about privacy around body issues she should know other people can touch them in some ways but not other ways, check this article for reference ( http://www.aboutkidshealth.ca/En/HealthAZ/FamilyandPeerRelations/Sexuality/Pages/Sex-Education-Age-Appropriate-For-Children-what-they-should-learn-and-when.aspx )

Actually... We have to be VERY careful with what they are watching on YouTube. A lot of those "play with me" videos are sweet but some of those start real cute to make the parents think it's safe and about 1 minute into it, have real occult or sexual content in them. My friend's daughter was invited to a sleepover and the mom of the birthday girl found them watching porn on YouTube. Apparently, one of the cartoon videos had a link to this. It's RIDICULOUS but there are evil people out there that deliberately want to put this within easy access for children to see.
