As a parent, I am appealing the Circumvention Termination of my 16-year-old son's main channel. We believe a misunderstanding of automated restrictions and the surrounding context led to his account being terminated.
The Timeline:
The Original Issue: His livestreaming was disabled without a clear reason or any new strikes. We spent 3 weeks contacting support, but only received automated responses.
Channel 2 — The Test: After 3 weeks of confusion and no resolution, he created a second channel to test his setup. A test video using his own main-channel content was then removed for spam.
Channel 3 — The Misunderstanding: Not realizing that creating another channel after a channel removal could be considered circumvention, he created a third channel and conducted one test stream.
Possible Misunderstanding: Two days later, a human support agent finally responded to our original complaint and requested his main channel URL. We believe the newly created accounts may have been seen without the context of the original livestream issue, resulting in his main channel being permanently terminated for circumvention.
He is 16, meets the age requirement for livestreaming, and was trying to troubleshoot an unexplained restriction after weeks without meaningful support—not evade enforcement.
As his father, I will ensure full compliance with YouTube's policies going forward.
Please manually review this timeline and help fix or restore his main channel.

Hi @TeamYouTube my son is having issues with live streaming how can we fix this please have put up a number of posts now regarding this issue can you please help
@TeamYouTube Hello, I’m the father of a YouTube creator, and I’m really hoping someone can please help with an ongoing livestreaming issue on his channel. We’ve been trying to resolve this for a long time and would genuinely appreciate a proper human review.
My son is the required age to livestream and has livestreamed many times before. Recently, one of his livestreams was stopped for a Child Safety issue. He appealed the decision, and his appeal was accepted and the livestream was restored. Despite the successful appeal and restored stream, he still cannot livestream.
He has absolutely no strikes on his channel—only a warning. We have received absolutely nothing explaining why he cannot livestream anymore: no email, notification, message, specific reason, instructions, or information explaining how to appeal or fix the issue.
We have checked YouTube Studio, Feature Eligibility, his channel settings, and the available support information, but there is no clear reason shown for why livestreaming is disabled.
We have also tried the available feedback and support options, but the feedback process does not work for us and we have not been able to get a clear answer through those options.
To clarify the Child Safety situation, there are no children physically present with him during his livestreams and no children appear on camera. Sometimes younger people may be involved in voice calls while he is streaming, but they are never physically with him, never visible on camera, and are not actually present at his livestream location.
His previous appeal was accepted and the livestream was restored, so we are confused about why his livestreaming access remains unavailable.
Please could someone kindly manually review his actual channel and investigate the specific restriction preventing him from livestreaming? We completely understand and respect YouTube’s Child Safety policies and want to make sure he follows them correctly.
Please could you check whether there is still an active restriction, what specifically caused it, whether the previous Child Safety action is still affecting his livestreaming access, and whether anything needs to be verified or completed?
Most importantly, if his livestreaming access has been disabled incorrectly or a restriction remained after his successful appeal, please could you try to FIX the issue and restore his livestreaming access?
We are not asking for YouTube’s policies to be ignored. We are simply asking for his specific situation to be properly reviewed, for the exact reason to be explained, and for help resolving the issue.

Hi, I’m the father of YouTube creator KiwiEggs.
My son is the required age to livestream and has livestreamed many times before. One stream was stopped for a Child Safety issue, but his appeal was accepted and the stream was restored. Despite this, he still cannot livestream.
He has no strikes, only a warning, and there is no email, notification, or clear reason in Studio explaining why livestreaming remains disabled. There are also no children physically present or visible on camera during his streams.
Please could someone manually review his channel and, if the restriction was left on by mistake, help restore his livestreaming access?
