The graphic video began a girl wearing a black crop top and white shorts and dancing

The video is deeply disturbing and it needs stopping as it will traumatize children. I couldn’t watch it all, it made me feel physically sick. Please keep a close eye on what your kids are seeing online – it’s so concerning that these videos get on the internet for the youngest to see.
