Minors drinking alcohol, vaping, using tobacco or marijuana, misusing fireworks, using firearms unsupervised, doing dangerous stunts, challenges or pranks, or being abused or put in emotional distress.
What YouTube says
“Never put minors in harmful situations that may lead to injury, including dangerous stunts, challenges, dares, or pranks.”
How to fix it
Remove any shot of a minor with alcohol, vapes, fireworks or firearms, and any prank that distresses a child.
Good to know
Estimate the age of people in frame. Watch for any minor with alcohol, vapes, fireworks or firearms without visible adult supervision, and pranks that frighten children (fake death, abandonment).
