In my house there is no free access to YouTube for children. I wouldn't even whitelist a channel, because maybe somebody buys that channel and makes it weird. Maybe if I run across a video that I think is good we will watch it together, but there is no chance they get to click down the "recommended" rabbit hole unattended.

Teaching kids to be paranoid of everything isn't good either. If your child is too innocent they won't know the difference when someone ask them to do something that is wrong. Far before they're the age of 18 they need to be able to fend for themselves unless if you plan to keep your child under your wing forever.
