Hello everyone! I just unlinked my daughter from my family link! She had turned 13 a few months ago and I couldn’t figure out how to unlink her from my account until I read that on her birthday google had sent her a email to take charge of her RUclips channel. I found it and clicked “I’m ready”. FINALLY she was free of the family link and restrictions. Please go to the email your child uses for RUclips and the month they turned 13 and follow the hyperlink instructions. Took me over an hour to figure this out!!
@@OWNORDISOWN hey do you know ho to make a youtube channel for my son 10 year old it says that children under 13 cant make a youtube channel he really wanna start youtube can u tell us how u created a youtube channel for my son i dont know if times has changed but i think befopre u could make a youtube channel for your child but anyways if u reply it would really help
Thanks Andres! It was most frustrating and I told them so. They make it so hard to sort things out. You Tube definitely needs some good competition. Hope you have a great New Year!
@@OWNORDISOWN I really feel her pain, that really sucks to be in that position because of "policies" and security, youtube definitely needs to change a lot of things
I really felt for her. She was going to quit, and I must admit if it was me I would have done but my wife and I talked her into starting again. She is young and in life we do take knocks and we just have to get up again and push forward. Thanks for your kind words 😀
@@OWNORDISOWN There may come a day when your daughter will ask her child what they did in cyberschool that day. Their response will be: "I can't remember. I woke up and found this holo-note from FANG (Facebook/Apple/Netflix/Google) saying I could, um, '... no longer access my memories because I had violated the terms of service of my educational contract'. And , um, who are you again?" Edit - I forgot to mention: I really like your videos -- thanks for taking the time to make them! And please let your daughter know that we're all wishing her the best. Keep a stiff upper lip, little trooper! : )
Thanks my friend! Yes, I thought that too. She knew exactly how many she had gained and lost. We have started afresh and this time I will make sure this won't happen again and hopefully this video will help others from losing their work. Hope 2021 is a good year for you. 😀
This is the unfortunate problem with big corporations. Their customer service is bound by the book and their processes, even when they don't work. This is why there'll always be a market for small businesses/companies with better, more flexible customer support.
Yes indeed. The bigger they become the more under the spotlight they are from their main advertisers so they have to make rules upon rules that make it near impossible to work under.
sorry about your daughter's channel Steve :( RUclips just sucks. Since google bought it all they care about is money and not it's users. I remember how they removed the star rating system, then channel designs, then friends lists, then PM's... When RUclips was created it felt like there were enthusiasts behind it who cared about their site, but after Google bought it it all started to go downhill from there. Aside from technical advancements (HTML 5, better video codecs) and a couple useful tools they did nothing for the user to make the site more interesting. Happy new year Steve, I hope it'll be a better one for you and your daughter than the horrible 2020.
So sorry you and your daughter had to go through that. Unfortunately I had a similsr experience not being able to get it someone from support to assist with a similar access issue. Hopefully they will figure out a way to remedy this going forward. As slmrone who has been in tech for a while I really enjoy your channel. Keep up the great work and have a wonderful 2021
Your daughter is adorable and I felt so bad for her as she explained this all. I hope you guys get it figured out because this really is nonsensical. I've been down this rabbit hole with some other services, and sometimes their inability to understand or fix your problem is mind boggling. It's like wow, you get paid money to do this job?
Thanks! Yes, they are all bound by these rules than it doesn't allow for them to think out of the box to find solutions. It will just encourage parents to lie about their age when they set up an account...
Hey I'm glad you spoke up about this at least and I feel really bad that you and your daughter had to go through this. It must have taken a hit at her motivation. But you know what, I'm gonna go subscribe to her channel rn. (If I find the link) and will share it with people who will too. Let's get her back to 700 asap so that she can continue where she left off. I'm sure it's not the same thing and there's a lot of lost work there. I'm sorry about that but please don't be demotivated! I love OwnOrDisown and this will be my way of supporting it.
@@BiggBaddVVolf thanks! I was thinking about other kids who have lots of videos and how they would feel if all their hard work got washed down the drain. You Tube needs to wake up and take care of this. I told them so in the chat but they are like robots.
@@OWNORDISOWN "I'd really like to help you solve your issue but we really need to communicate using the email address that is linked to the RUclips channel of your daughter." That's Exhibit A of being stuck on stupid while they carry on about how YOU are misunderstanding the situation and how to resolve it. Is there anything on this earth that is more annoying and frustrating than that? This is extremely unfortunate and no doubt disappointing, especially for your daughter. I hope it all works out in the end, be it with the old channel or the new.
I just saw the video and I decided to subscribe to your daughter's channel and there is actually some pretty good content I will watch with interest! Keep up the good work both of you! Greetings!
This is so timely. My son wants to start a RUclips channel like his classmate and your daughter. Based on your information is there a way to allow a kid under 13 to have a RUclips account without Family Link? There is a way to download videos from RUclips which you can then store as a backup and repost if something happens. So funny getting in touch with someone at Google is like going to the moon. We had an issue with predatory users on a Kids Google game and finally, we were able to get in touch with them and sent screenshots of everything. Nothing ever came of it and we don't allow our son to play games with online users which is really tough to do. We only let him play and converse with Friends we allow and accept. Your daughter is a cutie and was very composed during her explanation. I hope you guys have some success in this.
Sorry to hear that, I know you're pain, as I wish I saw this first because I am now like you, and I have to create a new account and trying to figure out how to transfer my kids purchases in play store. Can't even install the damn thing, spoke to tech support and they said its there in the terms of agreement before you sign up, WTF I didn't want to sign up on the first place 😭
Sorry to hear that Stephen :( kudos to your kid for not giving up. Good luck to the both of you and I wish you a happy new year for your family and yourself! Stay safe!
Don't let this bother you, for the past couple of days RUclips is doing some crazy stuff. people getting copyright claimed for using a person name in a certain tone. It's crazy in here now. I really hope you can resolve this somehow, your daughter deserves all the best. I wish you all the luck.
@@OWNORDISOWN Absolutely, and always remind her to keep doing what she loves and never lose her passion for anything that she's good at. And god bless your daughter is 10 and she's already a great presenter, if she keeps doing that she's going to become huge in this. I'm sorry if I made this long but it breaks my heart seeing what youtube unfair and unnecessary policies does.
Man this is so sad to hear. 3 years later and they still haven't fixed this nor do they warn you about losing the channel. My boy is devastated. Lost all his subscribers and likes. He has worked so hard on his channel. It was everything to him. These people are beyond evil. It should be considered theft!
I've had a problem with family link, it dictates literally everything you wanna do, the parent also has almost no control over it, I do not recommend until you have a toddler.
Thanks, appreciate it! Yeah, its their platform but I would like to have some choice and even be warned what could happen. I feel bad for young creators who have even more time invested in the platform and then losing it all in a blink of an eye.
Holy crap that sucks man. What a shady way of them saying "screw you" too. Deleted account? Oh login in to the account to fix it. Nice work guys. Strong note to end 2020 on. Well hopefully 2021 shows growth for your channel and the return of your daughter's channel. BTW that girl is so much like you it's crazy! Can absolutely see you guys doing a collab later on in her youtube career! What a cool family!
Thanks ! Yeah, lots of people say she is like me. My other daughter is not into gaming at all. Grace loves it though and I do hope that someday she takes over my channel. Have a great 2021 Lee!
Hi Steve. I agree it is really frustrating but i am sure the little girl will be back on track in no time, God bless her. Happy new year to you and your family.
Uff. One can hear your frustration, particularly in those last words. Sorry to hear about your struggles. Honestly, at this point, RUclips and (especially) Google have become too big for their own good. They absolutely do not care one bit about the individual content creator. Unfortunately, this is only going to get worse over time. Remember "don't be evil"? Yeah, they've given up on that a long time ago. Despite this setback, just wanna say: Appreciate your content, hope you have a Happy New Year! And I'm pretty sure she'll have those subscribers back in no time! ;-)
I agree totally with you. They hide behind their internet wall and you cannot talk to anyone. As long as they are profiting from the hard working creators they are happy. They forget that we are their customers.
Hello! I'm sorry to hear your child went through that. The same thing happened to my daughter's RUclips channel. I linked her account to mine, following Google's instructions, and now her channel is nowhere to be found. Hours and hours of work have been thrown in the trash, and she's traumatized! What angers me the most is how so many people are using the platform in a malicious and deceiving way, gaining a huge subscriber count, and yet RUclips pretends everything is fine with those channels.
I'm so sorry to hear that. I agree, there was that famous RUclips who was videoing the suicide woods in Japan and he still is making millions on the platform. My daughter ended up quitting in the end. I hope yours has the energy to start again, just lie about her age...
@OWNORDISOWN Exactly! That's one very disgusting example of RUclips double standards. In our case, we have invested not just time but also money, as we subscribed to at least 3 different services like Canva, Artlist, and Flikki. We also invested in purchasing a new laptop, professional microphones, a new camera, tripods, and lighting equipment. I wonder if there would be grounds for a lawsuit. Edit: We decided to work on a children's website for my daughter, where she can freely upload her videos that is appropriate for kids. The idea is to keep creating quality content as long as she's having fun with it and helping her development. Maybe she can have a little store with some merchandise and a donation gateway to support with the costs. I am still working on that. I wish the best of luck for you and your little one.
@@fabiano8888that is a great idea, I really hope it works out for you 👍. Another thing that frustrates me about RUclips is that it is very hard to talk with anyone. My channel got hacked once and took me a week to get it back.
@@OWNORDISOWN Thank you! Great point! Laws and regulations regarding online platforms like RUclips need to be changed. Creators basically have no rights.
Before I go into my experience, your daughter is cute and for some reason, I could still access RUclips, but that was after uninstalling every RUclips update. I had a MENTAL BREAKDOWN ever since I lost my channel. I hated Family Link ever since that day. I was 10-12 when I lost my channel. It was a small but fun channel, I had motivation and loved making RUclips videos a lot! I got my little brother and sister into it and they somehow didn't lose their channels. I had 29 subs... Now I'm 14, still recovering from my lost account, it beated so much memories and thinking about it just made me want to sue Google, well the family link app. Just absurd, anyone know how I can recover those vids since my old vids were recorded On 2 lost/irreparable devices...
Thanks for sharing your story. Many have had the same experience and Google needs to do something. Once my channel got hacked and getting that back was a nightmare. Good luck with everything.
One time at my family did a kids account for one of my siblings and after some time it turned out to be very limited at so many things that even doing a simple unlink to a kids account it's just very messy. Best practice was (and still) to create a proper normal account to do anything without being so limited. I didn't knew about this issue and honestly Google's family link just sucks. Another good practice is to upload content on other platform and/or website to keep things backed up without worrying that much from getting deleted in one place.
Yes, what their policy will encourage is people lying about their kid's age so they don't get trapped in RUclips kids and lose everything they worked for.
A very happy new year to you and your family. It is really sad to see this happen to a young aspiring kid who just started ( she looks like your clone wih those glasses) good to hear she didn't quit and was encouraged by her family. I logged in today to notice they have changed the layout for phone as well which is frustrating.
Thanks Aditya! Yes, they basically don't want kids under 13 creating videos as its too much liability for them. They won't openly come out and say it, which they should do. Have a good New Year!
Thanks Lawrence! I wanted to do the video to warn other parents and hopefully someone higher up in RUclips gets wind of it and changes their stupid system.
Well that sucks. Hopefully she can get back up and running, and get back her subscribers in double quick time. By the way you can definitely see the resemblance to you in your daughter.
Hey Jay, I was thinking about you the other day. Hope everything is well your end. Glad to see you again. Definitely a bright spot in my day seeing your comment 😀👍
@@OWNORDISOWN Cheers Stephen. Alas things are very, very bad with me. One day I'll be in touch and I'll go into a bit more detail as to why that is/what's the deal with me, but that's for another time, especially as the new year has only just begun and I don't want to be a 'Debbie Downer", even more so given what just happened to your daughter. I hope 2021 is a lot better for you all than the end of 2020 was.
There's nothing worse than stuck in a digital loop. I've never seen such a hostility from you Stephen, be patient! Let me know if your daughter needs subscribers, she's so precocious.
Thanks Mark! Yes, I was very angry and frustrated. Even though she had put in a ton of work that was lost i was thinking of kids who may have had 50, 100 videos...all disappearing and basically their staff not caring at all. I got her set up again and posted a link in the description. She's has more subscribers now and is happy again 😀
Thanks Cesar! Really appreciate it! Well, I think if a kid wants to grown on RUclips then you have to lie about their age. Make them at least 13. Otherwise some of these other platforms might be worth a shot
Thanks! It shouldn't close down the kids channel. It shouldn't force the kid to use RUclips kids, because you cannot upload videos there. I would be all for it if it asked for my permission to watch certain videos on the main RUclips platform. Threatening to close her account if we didn't link it is not on either, we should be given a choice...
Thanks mate! I'm afraid if you are under 13 and you joined family link there is no way out. You Tube needs to sort this out and I told them so last night...
Reminds me of microsoft family accounts. If you make an account and link it to a family as a child account, you can't remove it from the family without deleting it entirely.
Cheers mate ! Yes, they certainly seem to be making it much harder for kids. I've never seem You Tube Kids before, and even my 10 year old said its awful, lol.
Almost three years later had the exact same thing happen to my daughter and me yesterday. RUclips knows this is a clunky policy that hurts users and hasnt done anything for that long.
Congratulations on raising a strong, hardworking and bright daughter. I hope you were able to get your daughter's account back after this video. I was frustrated by Family Link until I watched a video that helped me. I had to change my daughter's birthdate to one day before she turns 13 years. Basically, pretend she is about to turn 13 tomorrow. Family Link will send you and her an email. Then follow the instructions they give to her. She can now fully access RUclips.
It gets worse. If the child has money on their account through gift cards, familylink pushes it to the parent's account and then does not provide a way to give it back when they are old enough.
Thanks! I hope so. I have had a few people saying they will make sure their kids age is registered over 12. You tube clearly doesn't want any creators under 13...
I lost the whole afternoon with this problem too. After many attempts, password recoveries and god knows what else, I installed the family link on her phone an manually blocked most the unneeded apps , but i intentionally left youtube unchecked because it was her youtube account that was going to be deleted. There were some additional settings to block inappropriate content for kids and i thought that was it....that i made it after two frustrating hours. Next thing i know, the youtube app completely disappeared from her phone, with no way to start . What`s even more annoying is that youtube app was listed in the "apps" section but with no option to allow it`s usage on my daughter`s phone. What i did was, simply reinstall the app from Google playstore and only THEN (after two hours) i was asked from Google to enter my password on her phone in order to allow my daughter to watch youtube. It worked & she kept her account but i agree the whole process was frustrating and sucks big time. Your daughter is adorable btw.
Thanks Dionis! Sorry to hear about all your hassle. My account got hacked not long after this, even though I had 2FA set up. That was a royal pain to fix too! Glad you got yours sorted.
Ok I get all this but how did you get around it and get your daughter up and running again?? 🤷♂️ Did you create a separate normal RUclips account and say she was older?? Or, did you just create a 2nd RUclips channel via your RUclips account with all your existing details? That’s what I really wanna know..?
Sorry to hear this at the start of a new year. Hopefully her videos are still stored locally after uploading. Worst case scenario is starting over and local backups help a lot (also storing on other platforms is a nice backup move). Hopefully you can get it sorted out via email. It is just very hard to find the address of the person that can do something
You would think they have checks in place to deal with situations like this. Or at the very least explain the process properly. Best of luck to your daughter.
My mom installed Google Family Link on my phone claiming it would allow me to sleep better... Little did I realize that she put enabled screen time and I almost had a heart attack because I thought the same thing that happened to your daughter's channel happened to mine (this channel here)... Another thing: Downtime, What if you're on the line with a First Responder and they tell you to stay on the line... Family Link will instantly end the call pulling up the "Downtime is on. Come back at *insert time of day*" message proving that Google Family Link is a safety hazard because of it! My age is something that's a kicker too... I'm 20 years old and Family Link shouldn't be downloadable because I'm over the age requirement (13 in the state that I live in)
RUclips doing their stupid thing because they don’t have any competition. Talking about privacy stuff yet they will force you to fill out private information.
Very much so. You can spend hours just bouncing from one help page to another and not actually get any where. Google their telephone number and call it, the first thing they say is that you cannot speak to anyone and the message just says visit their web page..nice 👌
Hi, I am at the point where my son wants his own RUclips channel, age 10. I haven't been able to set up a RUclips channel while in the Family Link. Been trying to get it working for months 🤔 How did you solve your daughter's problem? How did you get her back on streaming?
So you're saying not to do the family link, but you're also saying she got an email that said they were going to delete her account if she didn't do the family link anyway? So how do kids have RUclips accounts? My kid has one and now I"m not sure what to do. I don't think they've gotten any emails yet... but if they get some email that says they will remove it if we don't do family link, what do I do?
My daughter received a notification when she signed into her RUclips account that gave her 14 days to do family link otherwise her channel would be closed, I suspect because she is under 13. Once I did the family link , her Google account was then linked to RUclips kids. I would have to clear the cache history to even open up regular RUclips, but sign in with her account would take us back to RUclips kids. No option to upload videos on RUclips kids. So its like they don't want kids under 13 to upload videos. You cannot undo the family link if your kid is under 13 either. You can't go and try and change their birthday, tried it. Their previous RUclips channel is removed, although they retain the history if who they are subscribed to.
I’m in the same boat today. My son just lost his RUclips account and he had a little over 1000 subscribers and he’s so upset. I’m so sad with this and it’s just wrong.
Someone in the recent comments said that he was able to change his daughters birthday so that she would turn 13 the next day and they got an email that allowed her to get full access. Perhaps you can ask him for more details? I ended up just creating a new channel for her and pretended she was 13. We lost all her previous videos...
We are going through this right now! So upset and frustrated with the entire situation. When you made her the account again, did you put her age as over 13 this time?
Yes, we kept them all so she is gradually uploading them again. I keep all mine too but if it had happened to me, after 4 years and 500 videos I would have given up for sure.
Ok. RUclips sucks there. Let's help Steven's daughter to regain... No... To surpass her subscriber count before to show RUclips that the kid deserves better than such nonsense.
Thanks! Appreciate the support. She has gained some subs back and is happy again. Hopefully RUclips will change their rules. Hopefully they will let their employees use their initiative and make decisions..
Kids have much more to do as to be RUclipsrs or watch RUclipsrs. They have to play real games with real kids outside electronics. And parents should earn money and be known, not their kids. Kids should play sports, theater, and worry with their school. Not being... RUclipsrs. I would be glad if RUclips just prohibited access to children...
@@ricarmig I can see where you're coming from. It's unpleasant to see kids also facing the harshness of the RUclips planet and having a burnout at such age... That makes me worried... 😔
Hey Steve, just come across your video, while i was searching for information about opening a RUclips channel for my 8 yrs old son. I am really sorry about the frustration and headache that RUclips has cause you and adorable daughters. What do you think i should do, in terms of opening channel for him ? I really do not know where to start
Hey there! Personally I would lie and say he is 13. You can still disable comments which I advise for that age. I would also recommend that you control the channel via your email and make sure you have 2FA enabled. My channel got hacked last week and it was a nightmare getting it back.
@@OWNORDISOWN thank you for advice and recommendation, but can you explain/tell little bit more about "control the channel via your email, excuse my ignorance of technology
@@Twenty-ll8vo At 8 your son is probably too young to have an email address, as you know one can get lots of spam and people hitting you up on it. If you use an email registered to you then at least you have control over that and the channel in general. You can change the email at a later date. That is what I would do personally. You can create an email with the sole purpose for the channel.
Couldn't agree more! Impossible to talk with people anymore. Its like they employ all these people to hide behind an internet wall. Gone is the personal relationship with the public.
RUclips!!! What the hell have you done to his poor child?? Get your shit together, she deserve compensation for all the trouble you have cost, I hope everything will work out for you guys, happy new year🤘🤘🤘
I have the same problem. After the installation of Family Link, the child lost the RUclips channel he worked on a lot. Did you manage to recover your child's YT channel?
Hi Levente. I am sorry that you have been faced with the same thing. No, I was never able to get it back. I just created a new one and pretended she was 13 years old. Getting hold of anyone at You Tube is next to impossible...
They literally had no solution. Even when I showed them the screen shot that the chat would not work under her account . They refused to entertain any email communication. I suggested that they text me security questions, nothing. All they kept saying was they have their rules. I had to put this video up to warn any other parent with a kid under 13 years of age. They will get stuck on the You Tube kids platform and lose everything they worked on.
@@OWNORDISOWN Absolutely unbelievable 😡 your poor daughter man bet she was gutted after all that hard work was lost. Good on you for putting the word out there about this, wonder how many other people this has happened to?? Happy New Year man wish you and your family all the best for the future and cheers for all your awesome videos that help us decide which PCs to buy!

This platform needs a serious jolt before something else takes over. It’s as if it’s too big to be supported by humans.
Hey B.O.A.T!
What they need is another platform for people to migrate to. Then they will have to start talking to their customers.
This is the unfortunate problem with big corporations. Their customer service is bound by the book and their processes, even when they don't work.
This is why there'll always be a market for small businesses/companies with better, more flexible customer support.

Totally agree, we definitely need some good competition. I'm surprised Microsoft or Amazon haven't jumped on board.

I'm sure it's not the same thing and there's a lot of lost work there. I'm sorry about that but please don't be demotivated!
I love OwnOrDisown and this will be my way of supporting it.
You’re right! RUclips Sucks!
Sorry to hear that happened to you and your little one. 😕
@@BiggBaddVVolf thanks! I was thinking about other kids who have lots of videos and how they would feel if all their hard work got washed down the drain. You Tube needs to wake up and take care of this. I told them so in the chat but they are like robots.
@@BiggBaddVVolf experience, who knows...
@@OWNORDISOWN "I'd really like to help you solve your issue but we really need to communicate using the email address that is linked to the RUclips channel of your daughter."
That's Exhibit A of being stuck on stupid while they carry on about how YOU are misunderstanding the situation and how to resolve it. Is there anything on this earth that is more annoying and frustrating than that?
This is extremely unfortunate and no doubt disappointing, especially for your daughter. I hope it all works out in the end, be it with the old channel or the new.
Yes and PayPal, Facebook etc
I just saw the video and I decided to subscribe to your daughter's channel and there is actually some pretty good content I will watch with interest! Keep up the good work both of you! Greetings!
Thanks Stephan! She enjoys what she does, appreciate the support!
This is so timely. My son wants to start a RUclips channel like his classmate and your daughter. Based on your information is there a way to allow a kid under 13 to have a RUclips account without Family Link? There is a way to download videos from RUclips which you can then store as a backup and repost if something happens. So funny getting in touch with someone at Google is like going to the moon. We had an issue with predatory users on a Kids Google game and finally, we were able to get in touch with them and sent screenshots of everything. Nothing ever came of it and we don't allow our son to play games with online users which is really tough to do. We only let him play and converse with Friends we allow and accept. Your daughter is a cutie and was very composed during her explanation. I hope you guys have some success in this.
You tube definitely sucks! They are like Ebay. Can't get hold of anyone and when you finally do they are clueless.
Couldn't agree more, most frustrating!
I really am not happy hearing this...you tube needs to get it together.
Sorry to hear that, I know you're pain, as I wish I saw this first because I am now like you, and I have to create a new account and trying to figure out how to transfer my kids purchases in play store. Can't even install the damn thing, spoke to tech support and they said its there in the terms of agreement before you sign up, WTF I didn't want to sign up on the first place 😭
Sorry to hear that Stephen :( kudos to your kid for not giving up. Good luck to the both of you and I wish you a happy new year for your family and yourself! Stay safe!
Thanks Charbel 😊 Happy New Year to you too!
Don't let this bother you, for the past couple of days RUclips is doing some crazy stuff. people getting copyright claimed for using a person name in a certain tone.
It's crazy in here now. I really hope you can resolve this somehow, your daughter deserves all the best.
I wish you all the luck.
Thanks Mahmoud! Yeah, their rules are making things harder all the time.
@@OWNORDISOWN Absolutely, and always remind her to keep doing what she loves and never lose her passion for anything that she's good at.
And god bless your daughter is 10 and she's already a great presenter, if she keeps doing that she's going to become huge in this.
I'm sorry if I made this long but it breaks my heart seeing what youtube unfair and unnecessary policies does.
So sorry to hear that. But your sweetheart is a star anyway 😍 All the best for her (and mom and dad of course) and have a healthy 2021!✌️
Thanks! Hope you have a great 2021 as well. Its certainly going to be good as far as laptops are concerned 👍
Man this is so sad to hear. 3 years later and they still haven't fixed this nor do they warn you about losing the channel. My boy is devastated. Lost all his subscribers and likes. He has worked so hard on his channel. It was everything to him. These people are beyond evil. It should be considered theft!
I think youtube forgot that nothing lasts forever. Someday a newer, better video sharing platform will come up and everyone will forget youtube.
I've had a problem with family link, it dictates literally everything you wanna do, the parent also has almost no control over it, I do not recommend until you have a toddler.
They do whatever they want. I don't know whats up with them. BTW I have subscribed your cute daughter's new channel
Thanks, appreciate it! Yeah, its their platform but I would like to have some choice and even be warned what could happen. I feel bad for young creators who have even more time invested in the platform and then losing it all in a blink of an eye.
Holy crap that sucks man. What a shady way of them saying "screw you" too. Deleted account? Oh login in to the account to fix it. Nice work guys. Strong note to end 2020 on. Well hopefully 2021 shows growth for your channel and the return of your daughter's channel. BTW that girl is so much like you it's crazy! Can absolutely see you guys doing a collab later on in her youtube career! What a cool family!
Thanks ! Yeah, lots of people say she is like me. My other daughter is not into gaming at all. Grace loves it though and I do hope that someday she takes over my channel. Have a great 2021 Lee!
Hi Steve. I agree it is really frustrating but i am sure the little girl will be back on track in no time, God bless her. Happy new year to you and your family.
Thanks Taher! Happy New to you and your family 👪
I've definitely subscribed, mini steven!
Thanks, really appreciate it! She is happy. She now has 18 subs 😀 Happy New Year!
@@OWNORDISOWN happy new year from the UK!
@@jay-5061 Its a strange New Year. First one i can remember where no one is out clubbing ! Have a good one mate.
@@OWNORDISOWN hehe yea. Have a good one, your little one will grow an even bigger channel this year! 😁
This must be painful for her. Don’t get discourage. Keep going with new account. Happy new year.
Thanks mate! She is re-uploading her videos 😀👍 Have a great New Year!
This is really nonsense, hope RUclips doesn’t do this again in the future and you’re such a great father for supporting her
Thanks Albert ! I hope this video helps another parent from falling in to this trap. Have a good new year mate !
Uff. One can hear your frustration, particularly in those last words. Sorry to hear about your struggles.
Honestly, at this point, RUclips and (especially) Google have become too big for their own good. They absolutely do not care one bit about the individual content creator. Unfortunately, this is only going to get worse over time. Remember "don't be evil"? Yeah, they've given up on that a long time ago.
Despite this setback, just wanna say: Appreciate your content, hope you have a Happy New Year! And I'm pretty sure she'll have those subscribers back in no time! ;-)
I agree totally with you. They hide behind their internet wall and you cannot talk to anyone. As long as they are profiting from the hard working creators they are happy. They forget that we are their customers.
Hello! I'm sorry to hear your child went through that. The same thing happened to my daughter's RUclips channel. I linked her account to mine, following Google's instructions, and now her channel is nowhere to be found. Hours and hours of work have been thrown in the trash, and she's traumatized! What angers me the most is how so many people are using the platform in a malicious and deceiving way, gaining a huge subscriber count, and yet RUclips pretends everything is fine with those channels.
I'm so sorry to hear that. I agree, there was that famous RUclips who was videoing the suicide woods in Japan and he still is making millions on the platform. My daughter ended up quitting in the end. I hope yours has the energy to start again, just lie about her age...
@OWNORDISOWN Exactly! That's one very disgusting example of RUclips double standards. In our case, we have invested not just time but also money, as we subscribed to at least 3 different services like Canva, Artlist, and Flikki. We also invested in purchasing a new laptop, professional microphones, a new camera, tripods, and lighting equipment. I wonder if there would be grounds for a lawsuit.
Edit: We decided to work on a children's website for my daughter, where she can freely upload her videos that is appropriate for kids. The idea is to keep creating quality content as long as she's having fun with it and helping her development. Maybe she can have a little store with some merchandise and a donation gateway to support with the costs. I am still working on that. I wish the best of luck for you and your little one.
@@fabiano8888that is a great idea, I really hope it works out for you 👍. Another thing that frustrates me about RUclips is that it is very hard to talk with anyone. My channel got hacked once and took me a week to get it back.
@@OWNORDISOWN Thank you!
Great point! Laws and regulations regarding online platforms like RUclips need to be changed. Creators basically have no rights.
Before I go into my experience, your daughter is cute and for some reason, I could still access RUclips, but that was after uninstalling every RUclips update.
I had a MENTAL BREAKDOWN ever since I lost my channel.
I hated Family Link ever since that day. I was 10-12 when I lost my channel.
It was a small but fun channel, I had motivation and loved making RUclips videos a lot! I got my little brother and sister into it and they somehow didn't lose their channels. I had 29 subs...
Now I'm 14, still recovering from my lost account, it beated so much memories and thinking about it just made me want to sue Google, well the family link app. Just absurd, anyone know how I can recover those vids since my old vids were recorded
On 2 lost/irreparable devices...
Thanks for sharing your story. Many have had the same experience and Google needs to do something. Once my channel got hacked and getting that back was a nightmare. Good luck with everything.
One time at my family did a kids account for one of my siblings and after some time it turned out to be very limited at so many things that even doing a simple unlink to a kids account it's just very messy.
Best practice was (and still) to create a proper normal account to do anything without being so limited. I didn't knew about this issue and honestly Google's family link just sucks.
Another good practice is to upload content on other platform and/or website to keep things backed up without worrying that much from getting deleted in one place.
Yes, what their policy will encourage is people lying about their kid's age so they don't get trapped in RUclips kids and lose everything they worked for.
Don't worry what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!!! She will comeback with more subscribers!!
I always remeber the Leeds song by Chumbawuba: if you get knocked down get up again. Its very true! Have a good new Year!
HAppy new year to that precious kid and your family
Thanks, happy New Year to you too!
A very happy new year to you and your family. It is really sad to see this happen to a young aspiring kid who just started ( she looks like your clone wih those glasses) good to hear she didn't quit and was encouraged by her family.
I logged in today to notice they have changed the layout for phone as well which is frustrating.
Thanks Aditya! Yes, they basically don't want kids under 13 creating videos as its too much liability for them. They won't openly come out and say it, which they should do. Have a good New Year!
I'm truly sorry my friend, that's not fair at all..
Thanks Lawrence! I wanted to do the video to warn other parents and hopefully someone higher up in RUclips gets wind of it and changes their stupid system.
frustrating but my nephew is gonna be happy to see gamer grace... subbed...
Cheers! Thanks for the support !
Well that sucks. Hopefully she can get back up and running, and get back her subscribers in double quick time.
By the way you can definitely see the resemblance to you in your daughter.
Hey Jay, I was thinking about you the other day. Hope everything is well your end. Glad to see you again. Definitely a bright spot in my day seeing your comment 😀👍
@@OWNORDISOWN Cheers Stephen. Alas things are very, very bad with me. One day I'll be in touch and I'll go into a bit more detail as to why that is/what's the deal with me, but that's for another time, especially as the new year has only just begun and I don't want to be a 'Debbie Downer", even more so given what just happened to your daughter.
I hope 2021 is a lot better for you all than the end of 2020 was.
Such supportive father you're, bless you mate
Cheers mate!
That does really suck, hope she gets back to it stronger and more motivated best of luck 🤞 🍀😊
There's nothing worse than stuck in a digital loop. I've never seen such a hostility from you Stephen, be patient!
Let me know if your daughter needs subscribers, she's so precocious.
Thanks Mark! Yes, I was very angry and frustrated. Even though she had put in a ton of work that was lost i was thinking of kids who may have had 50, 100 videos...all disappearing and basically their staff not caring at all.
I got her set up again and posted a link in the description. She's has more subscribers now and is happy again 😀
@@OWNORDISOWN All the best to your daughter Stephen!
Subbed (again) to her channel. She seems like a great kid!
Thanks Stephen ! She really enjoyed doing her channel so ti see the wind knocked out of her sails was very disheartening. Appreciate the support 😀
Subscribed, will try to watch her videos on mute from time to time, any suggestions?
Thanks Cesar! Really appreciate it! Well, I think if a kid wants to grown on RUclips then you have to lie about their age. Make them at least 13. Otherwise some of these other platforms might be worth a shot
Oh no. That sucks. I believe in Family Link to control your child's device. However, your experience really sucks.
Thanks! It shouldn't close down the kids channel. It shouldn't force the kid to use RUclips kids, because you cannot upload videos there. I would be all for it if it asked for my permission to watch certain videos on the main RUclips platform. Threatening to close her account if we didn't link it is not on either, we should be given a choice...
I’m really sorry to hear that. Super frustrating.
This is very sad. Hopefully your warning and video help others avoid this happening to them. Also hopefully Google stops this stupid practice soon.
I hope so. I have had a few concerned parents asking me about it. You Tube seems to want to prevent kids under 13 from uploading videos.
dang that sucks. hopefully something can work out and your daughter gets her account back
Thanks mate! I'm afraid if you are under 13 and you joined family link there is no way out. You Tube needs to sort this out and I told them so last night...
Reminds me of microsoft family accounts. If you make an account and link it to a family as a child account, you can't remove it from the family without deleting it entirely.
Aw she's so adorable lol the cuteness caught me off guard, bros..... And yeah, RUclips sucks, what else is new? They also hate kids
Cheers mate ! Yes, they certainly seem to be making it much harder for kids. I've never seem You Tube Kids before, and even my 10 year old said its awful, lol.
@Alfie Whitney yeah. I agree. Its terrible!
Almost three years later had the exact same thing happen to my daughter and me yesterday. RUclips knows this is a clunky policy that hurts users and hasnt done anything for that long.
Totally agree. They simply don't care. I would have thought that after all this time they would have watched my video and taken action....
That's a tough start for 2021 that's for sure
Thanks! She feels better now and I'm glad she told her story so that hopefully other kids are prevented from losing their work.
Wow that is really screwed up! What's her new channels name so we can support and subscribe?
Thanks! I started it again and put it in the description. Appreciate your support and Happy New Year 👍
Congratulations on raising a strong, hardworking and bright daughter. I hope you were able to get your daughter's account back after this video. I was frustrated by Family Link until I watched a video that helped me. I had to change my daughter's birthdate to one day before she turns 13 years. Basically, pretend she is about to turn 13 tomorrow. Family Link will send you and her an email. Then follow the instructions they give to her. She can now fully access RUclips.
Thanks for the tip! I ended up creating a new channel, pretending she was 13 years old...
I did that had same idea and not yet received an emails feel so bad about it he had 60 subs and 126 videos
It gets worse. If the child has money on their account through gift cards, familylink pushes it to the parent's account and then does not provide a way to give it back when they are old enough.
Can you not just give the child cash and you spend the gift card?
Don't worry beautiful little girl, start over and i promise that with this shiny face you'll get millions of followers
Thanks, that is very kind of you 💗
Happy new year, sir
Happy New Year!
Sorry that RUclips gave such a frustrating opening to 2021 for your guys. Hopefully this video gets enough interaction to alert YT & help resolve it.
Thanks! I hope so. I have had a few people saying they will make sure their kids age is registered over 12. You tube clearly doesn't want any creators under 13...
I lost the whole afternoon with this problem too. After many attempts, password recoveries and god knows what else, I installed the family link on her phone an manually blocked most the unneeded apps , but i intentionally left youtube unchecked because it was her youtube account that was going to be deleted. There were some additional settings to block inappropriate content for kids and i thought that was it....that i made it after two frustrating hours. Next thing i know, the youtube app completely disappeared from her phone, with no way to start . What`s even more annoying is that youtube app was listed in the "apps" section but with no option to allow it`s usage on my daughter`s phone. What i did was, simply reinstall the app from Google playstore and only THEN (after two hours) i was asked from Google to enter my password on her phone in order to allow my daughter to watch youtube. It worked & she kept her account but i agree the whole process was frustrating and sucks big time. Your daughter is adorable btw.
Thanks Dionis! Sorry to hear about all your hassle. My account got hacked not long after this, even though I had 2FA set up. That was a royal pain to fix too! Glad you got yours sorted.
You just lost your chill in this video lol
btw still nice video
Lol, I was so mad. Really was. My daughter was crying and I felt helpless and all I got from You Tube was canned responses.
Ok I get all this but how did you get around it and get your daughter up and running again?? 🤷♂️ Did you create a separate normal RUclips account and say she was older?? Or, did you just create a 2nd RUclips channel via your RUclips account with all your existing details? That’s what I really wanna know..?
I created a new account for her and said she was 13 years old
Sorry to hear this at the start of a new year. Hopefully her videos are still stored locally after uploading.
Worst case scenario is starting over and local backups help a lot (also storing on other platforms is a nice backup move).
Hopefully you can get it sorted out via email. It is just very hard to find the address of the person that can do something
Thanks mate. Yeah, we started again as there simply was no way to get anything back at this point. We had the videos on a hard drive 😀👍
You would think they have checks in place to deal with situations like this. Or at the very least explain the process properly. Best of luck to your daughter.
My mom installed Google Family Link on my phone claiming it would allow me to sleep better... Little did I realize that she put enabled screen time and I almost had a heart attack because I thought the same thing that happened to your daughter's channel happened to mine (this channel here)... Another thing: Downtime, What if you're on the line with a First Responder and they tell you to stay on the line... Family Link will instantly end the call pulling up the "Downtime is on. Come back at *insert time of day*" message proving that Google Family Link is a safety hazard because of it!
My age is something that's a kicker too... I'm 20 years old and Family Link shouldn't be downloadable because I'm over the age requirement (13 in the state that I live in)
RUclips doing their stupid thing because they don’t have any competition. Talking about privacy stuff yet they will force you to fill out private information.
Exactly. They probably collect our information and sell it to advertisers.
Your daughter is so much like you. Proud Papa! 👍
Lol, that's what everyone has been saying. A mini me. Certainly she has taken to her laptop and gaming like I did when I was little 😀👍
Unfortunate but she has the right attitude. Best of luck
Cheers!
It is actually very disappointing. RUclips has become a platform that fixes things that already work and ignore some simple stuff like Support.
Very much so. You can spend hours just bouncing from one help page to another and not actually get any where. Google their telephone number and call it, the first thing they say is that you cannot speak to anyone and the message just says visit their web page..nice 👌
Hi, I am at the point where my son wants his own RUclips channel, age 10. I haven't been able to set up a RUclips channel while in the Family Link. Been trying to get it working for months 🤔
How did you solve your daughter's problem? How did you get her back on streaming?
I ended up creating a new channel and just pretended she was 13 years old...
So you're saying not to do the family link, but you're also saying she got an email that said they were going to delete her account if she didn't do the family link anyway? So how do kids have RUclips accounts? My kid has one and now I"m not sure what to do. I don't think they've gotten any emails yet... but if they get some email that says they will remove it if we don't do family link, what do I do?
My daughter received a notification when she signed into her RUclips account that gave her 14 days to do family link otherwise her channel would be closed, I suspect because she is under 13.
Once I did the family link , her Google account was then linked to RUclips kids.
I would have to clear the cache history to even open up regular RUclips, but sign in with her account would take us back to RUclips kids. No option to upload videos on RUclips kids. So its like they don't want kids under 13 to upload videos.
You cannot undo the family link if your kid is under 13 either. You can't go and try and change their birthday, tried it.
Their previous RUclips channel is removed, although they retain the history if who they are subscribed to.
That sucks! Your daughter's channel was cool.
Thanks Andres, appreciate it !
I’m in the same boat today. My son just lost his RUclips account and he had a little over 1000 subscribers and he’s so upset. I’m so sad with this and it’s just wrong.
This happens to me! I recently turned 12 and I had about 1.4K subscribers and I got banned so my mom got family link and the same thing happened:(
I'm so sorry to hear about that! I was hoping after all this time Goggle would have sorted all this out. Good luck to you !
@@OWNORDISOWN thank you :)

Wow the world is turning into a state controlled dystopia with the help of internet.
My son is in the same boat. So pissed 😡
We had a ton of videos uploaded that are gone, did you ever find a way to get old videos back?
Someone in the recent comments said that he was able to change his daughters birthday so that she would turn 13 the next day and they got an email that allowed her to get full access. Perhaps you can ask him for more details? I ended up just creating a new channel for her and pretended she was 13. We lost all her previous videos...
@@OWNORDISOWN i did the next day birthday also, it works but all previous videos are gone
@John Taylor sorry to hear that John 😢
We are going through this right now! So upset and frustrated with the entire situation. When you made her the account again, did you put her age as over 13 this time?
Can't wait for an alternative to RUclips man, what a shitty website/company.
Im sorry to hear about ur daughter. Also they wouldnt really delete your account cuz everyone has they're rights
Soooo this just happened to us. DEVASTATING! How did you create a new account with here still being under 13? how do you verify and rebuild?
Life is hard.. at least you have a family you care about..
Yes, best thing to ever happen to me!
Do you have the videos on a hard drive/ssd?
Yes, we kept them all so she is gradually uploading them again. I keep all mine too but if it had happened to me, after 4 years and 500 videos I would have given up for sure.
Ok. RUclips sucks there. Let's help Steven's daughter to regain... No... To surpass her subscriber count before to show RUclips that the kid deserves better than such nonsense.
Thanks! Appreciate the support. She has gained some subs back and is happy again. Hopefully RUclips will change their rules. Hopefully they will let their employees use their initiative and make decisions..
Kids have much more to do as to be RUclipsrs or watch RUclipsrs. They have to play real games with real kids outside electronics. And parents should earn money and be known, not their kids. Kids should play sports, theater, and worry with their school. Not being... RUclipsrs. I would be glad if RUclips just prohibited access to children...
@@ricarmig I can see where you're coming from. It's unpleasant to see kids also facing the harshness of the RUclips planet and having a burnout at such age... That makes me worried... 😔
Hey Steve, just come across your video, while i was searching for information about opening a RUclips channel for my 8 yrs old son. I am really sorry about the frustration and headache that RUclips has cause you and adorable daughters. What do you think i should do, in terms of opening channel for him ? I really do not know where to start
Hey there! Personally I would lie and say he is 13. You can still disable comments which I advise for that age. I would also recommend that you control the channel via your email and make sure you have 2FA enabled. My channel got hacked last week and it was a nightmare getting it back.
@@OWNORDISOWN thank you for advice and recommendation, but can you explain/tell little bit more about "control the channel via your email, excuse my ignorance of technology
@@Twenty-ll8vo At 8 your son is probably too young to have an email address, as you know one can get lots of spam and people hitting you up on it. If you use an email registered to you then at least you have control over that and the channel in general. You can change the email at a later date. That is what I would do personally. You can create an email with the sole purpose for the channel.
Sorry To hear. Start the year anew! Happy New Year Everyone!
Thanks! Happy New Year, let's hope its better than 2020!
Damn I’m 18, my dad is 60, and I thought the age gap between us was a lot.

I have the same problem. After the installation of Family Link, the child lost the RUclips channel he worked on a lot. Did you manage to recover your child's YT channel?
Hi Levente. I am sorry that you have been faced with the same thing. No, I was never able to get it back. I just created a new one and pretended she was 13 years old. Getting hold of anyone at You Tube is next to impossible...

@@LeventeDaradici wait a second that doesn't make sense
Wow how frustrating. What did they suggest you do apart from going through your daughters chat? Surely they could’ve done SOMETHING to fix this.
They literally had no solution. Even when I showed them the screen shot that the chat would not work under her account . They refused to entertain any email communication. I suggested that they text me security questions, nothing. All they kept saying was they have their rules. I had to put this video up to warn any other parent with a kid under 13 years of age. They will get stuck on the You Tube kids platform and lose everything they worked on.
@@OWNORDISOWN Absolutely unbelievable 😡 your poor daughter man bet she was gutted after all that hard work was lost. Good on you for putting the word out there about this, wonder how many other people this has happened to??
