Kids will be kids. Good parenting makes a big difference but kids will end up seeing and seeking these things at some point.
And how can twitch prevent that? The parent can just block all of twitch, then whitelist vetted streamers.
This works if parents have the technical knowledge to do so. Otherwise it ends with the parents clutching their pearls or just having their ISP block Twitch outright on the router or something. Which might lead to the kids learning the technical skills to get around these blocks if they want to watch Twitch badly enough.
Kids learning to bypass security is a great start for learning technical skills. Inept school IT got a lot of kids started on their way to lucrative jobs.
