Places like Thomas the Tank Engine, Dragon Tails, Fisher Price, etc. that have videos and games he can play. It's all fine for an under-5-year-old. But what he really likes is Youtube videos, usually Blue Angels flights, snowplow trains (don't ask), A-10 Warthogs, Calliou and Justin Roberts (a kids singer). But he can get to some pretty graphic stuff in just a few clicks given the right starting point. There's a whole culture on Youtube that hates Calliou (probably with reason) and have created a bunch of content that's not at all appropriate for a 3-year old. When he's watching Youtube, the mouse sits in a place that he can't reach. He gets to pick the next video, but not without one of us ok'ing it first.

Sounds like a responsible parent. Here here, three cheers and a damn handshake. I can ultimately pin just about every social evil I can imagine on fucking terrible parents. Also, I like Blue Angels flights, Snowplow trains and A-10 Warthogs.. woooo..
