Here's my suggestion: Have a high mucky-muck with a social-media-savvy PR person in ACS reach out to Google/Alphabet (which owns YTube) and to Facebook (where you are able to post all sorts of horrific videos...at least until there's an outcry). Also to Twitter.
Give them a list of these incidents, and ask that they continually search for and remove these videos.. Give them key words ("rainbow", "Methanol", "colored flames"). Maybe there's even a short clip from the CSB investigation that could be played instead (you click on what you think will be a cool experiment, and you find out how it tragically ended).
If they are unresponsive, create a petition on Change.org (again, the social-media-savvy person from ACS) and make sure it is distributed to this Listserv, and we distribute it.
I will add that in some states, even 'licensed' day care facilities have minimal educational requirements for the staff, including the director/supervisor; this is one reason for the previous Administration's push for high-quality pre-K programs. While I think the employee was reckless beyond belief, depending on their education, age, and upbringing, to expect them to operate at the level of a degreed elementary school teacher may be unfair and unreasonable. My thought is that they searched on the web for 'some cool science videos' and if we don't reach them where they get their information, all the TV and newspaper reports will make little difference.
My two cents'
