Even if you did, you just lower the chances. I've created Netflix kids account specifically for mine. On its own it suggests also various documentaries on top of cartoons. We took the first one it suggested, and IIRC in second episode there was a very gruesome and detailed part with polar bear eating baby seals, one chew at a time.

One way to traumatize 4-year old, I'd say an effective one.

It’s a content issue mostly. Content providers do not want to properly tag and silo their content. And add parental control to kids account. They want to shift that burden to everyone but themselves.

"Of course, they're gonna know what intercourse is By the time they hit fourth grade They've got the Discovery Channel, don't they?"

Netflix age recommendations are a complete joke.

There was one documentary series that apparently appropriate for 7+ and had "motherfucker" within the first 30 seconds of one episode.

I don't know which parallel reality they're from where that is an appropriate word for a 7 year old to learn.

    Defines most fathers. Then again, I sincerely say thank you to many "insults".
