Hi everyone,
It's been a while since I've been here. I am in dire need of help I let my son have a Youtube channel, he's only 10 years old. I thought I was doing everything right, gave him a list of rules, watched everything he was making, no swearing etc etc....
Well someone made a fake channel copying his. They made a terrible video which got taken down for hate speech (a lot of swearing, go 'f' yourself, kill yoursellf etc) But they also uploaded 4 of my sons videos. I have reported the channel twice and Youtube has done nothing to take it down. I'm so distressed about it, as this person keeps commenting on other videos too. Everyone knows now it is not my son doing it, but it's still disheartening.
My son is locked out of his own channel because he forgot his password :/ believe me I have tried everything to recover it.
How do I get this imposter channel taken down when I have reported it twice now?
I no longer have an option to report it. Youtube is really disappointing in this regard. I will not post links as I don't want my sons old channel out there. Thanks.
*Update* I just reported the channel again for impersonation. This will be the 3rd time now. I will report it everyday until it gets taken down. So ridiculous.
