If your child spends time watching random clips on YouTube, chances are they’ve come across something a little unsettling. 

We’ve all been there. Even Kim Kardashian’s son Saint saw a clip of his mom’s sex tape while playing Roblox!

Many parents feel safest when their child is watching innocent clips on YouTube Kids, a platform specifically designed for little eyes. But one mom has been left horrified after finding an unsettling scene playing out during an episode of “Thomas The Tank Engine.”

Parents beware!

Mom Hannah Bishop (@beautyby_hd) recently took to TikTok to warn other parents to keep an eye on their children when watching clips online. 

“Please be careful of what your children are watching on YouTube!” she wrote with a red flag warning. “I was shocked when i saw this video pop up while my 2-year-old was watching.”

Hannah then goes on to show the clip of the innocent blue train so many children adore turn from sweet to satanic in a matter of seconds. 

Thomas is driving along singing lyrics: “I’m gonna CHUG. I’m gonna CHOO. I’m gonna KILL THE LOT OF YOU!”

His eyes turn from sweet black to evil red and it’s enough to bring on months of nightmares for a little one who is meant to be chilling out before bed. 

The mom went on to explain in the captions just how shocked and angry she was. 

“I don’t even have words for this 😤 Needless to say we are looking for a different subscription for Brody to watch.” 

Satanic Thomas clip goes viral 

The video has been viewed over 4.1 million times on the platform with many parents sharing in the horror. 

“This thing would have given me a heart attack as a kid💀,” one person commented.

The mom wrote that she was shocked to see what was in the “Thomas The Tank Engine" clip her child was watching.

“That was scary!😧😧😧,” another agreed. 

And another parent vowed: “Never letting gonna let my kids get youtube kids.”

Meanwhile, other parents were thankful that they don’t let their children on the video platform because of this very reason. 

“We got rid of YouTube kids a while ago, it’s over-stimulating,” one said. 

And another agreed: “Yeah I deleted YouTube kids long time ago. I was tired of blocking accounts and new account just kept popping up everyday.”

This is mild compared to other clips parents have found 

But not all parents were horrified by the share – with some comparing it to the clips we watched in the 80s and 90s or even ones our children have stumbled on in the past. 

“Does nobody remember all the shh we used to watch 😂 I guess I’m a bad parent because I think it’s funny,” one laughed. 

“This is so mild compared to elsagate,” another commented. 

Back in 2017, an online detective warned parents about the disturbing trend dubbed ‘Elsagate’ targetting children online.

The trend involved the sharing of horrific clips of nasty things happening to “Frozen’s” main character Elsa and mainly played out on YouTube. 

While many parents would likely be shocked to see the so-called Elsagate videos, awareness of the perverted content has grown through the years despite YouTube vowing to try harder to police the clips.
