Remember: Something online upset you? It is not your fault. Stop, step away, and tell a grown-up.
Tamsin and the turtle video
Read the story first, then answer.
The video that started by itselfTamsin and her cousin Idris watched a turtle video on Nana's tablet. When it ended, another video started all by itself. That is called autoplay. This video was never meant for children, and it showed something sad and upsetting. Tamsin's tummy went tight, her cheeks went hot, and her heart went thump, thump, thump. She turned the screen off. She thought, "Maybe Nana will be cross, so I should not tell." So she kept quiet, and the secret sat inside her like a heavy stone. At dinner Pepper the parrot squawked, "Are you all right?" and Tamsin felt tears coming. Then she told Nana. "Thank you for telling me, Tamsin. That was brave," said Nana. "And it is not your fault. Videos can start by themselves." Nana found the report button and turned autoplay off.
