Ofcom is in charge of regulating television and radio sector. People who watch television and listen to radio are protected from harmful or offensive material.
I think the parents/individual should take more care in what they watch/let their children watch. The Parents should set up a firewall with other available parental controls, which they need to learn how to emplace. YouTube has its own age regulations.

Yet some music videos are still get through. e.g. Robin Thicke - Blurred Lines.

There is a lot of shots of the specific bodily parts throughout the video (with blatant full frontal nudity in the uncensored version). There are a lot of suggestive sequences in the video like a man is leaning on top of a woman.
The song is about the blurred lines between yes and no in a sexual context this can be seen as vulgar or lewd.
Certain lyrics in the song could be heard as suggestive. E.g.
"The way you grab me
Must wanna get nasty
Go ahead, get at me"
Throughout the video there is a lot of provocative dancing and fondling of women with little to no clothing on them.
I think that this kind of music video shouldn't be on web sites like YouTube or MTV and should be on web sites that are harder for children to access (block by parental filters) and have more lenient regulations. In my opinion the BBFC should go ahead with the age regulation and that Blurred Lines would be an 18. This would help the situation due to it would restrict the amount of people being able to view it.
