The suicide instructions are sandwiched between clips from the popular Nintendo game Splatoon and delivered by a man speaking in front of what appears to be a green screen – an apparent effort to have him blend in with the rest of the animated video.
"Remember kids, sideways for attention, longways for results," the man says, miming cutting motions on his forearm. "End it."
The man featured is YouTuber Filthy Frank, who has over 6.2 million subscribers and calls himself "the embodiment of everything a person should not be," although there is no evidence that Frank, whose real name is George Miller, was involved in creating the doctored video. He did not immediately respond to CBS News' request for comment.
When Free Hess found the video on YouTube last week, she posted it on her blog – warning other parents to take control over what their kids may be watching.
"Looking at the comments, it had been up for a while, and people had even reported it eight months prior," Hess told CBS News on Friday.
