Speaking to the virtual assistant tool known as Alexa, the boy asks it to “play Digger Digger”.
But instead of the children’s song, the device turns the air blue by spouting back a string of crude words.
Alexa can be heard saying: "You want to hear a station for 'Porn detected.... Porno ringtone hot chick amateur girl calling sexy f*** c*** sh** sex ck puy anal dildo'."
At first, the adults in the room say nothing, presumably in shock at what they are hearing.
After an initial delay, they can be heard shouting “No! No! No! Alexa, stop!”
The little lad looks up at the camera, seemingly confused, as Alexa goes silent.
A male voice can then be heard chuckling in the brief moment before the camera is switched off.

But it has since emerged Alexa was reading out the name of a spoof ringtone for Android phones on Spotify entitled: "Porn Detected! (Porno Ringtone Hot Chick Amateur Girl Calling Sexy F*** C*** Sh** Sex Ck Puy Anal Dildo)."
