Half their videos are interviews with adults. A great portion of SBSK’s mission is connecting their interviewees with people who want to support and learn from them.

All comments on all their videos are disabled. YouTube refuses to communicate with SBSK other than to reiterate that youtube arbitrarily decided SBSK videos are at “high risk” for predatory comments.
