I think YouTube did the right thing. You don't want to become an "Internet meme" at least not when you're 13 and can't possibly see the consequences of your "fame". Had YouTube not pulled the plug this could have become an experience that deformed and damaged the kid's self image which is something very dangerous in the pre-teen age. This way however, this will be a cool story he will able to brag about to his friends over and over again: "Have I told you the story when I suddenly became an Internet celebrity but YouTube shut it down"? Seriously I thing that being a bit of protective over kids is not that a bad thing at all. Of course I'm not saying that childhood should be a prison or something but some due parenting is totally fine. I know that I did a lot of stupid things when I was a kid (without my parents knowledge), who knows what sort of stuff I would've done if I was actually allowed to do them?
