No secret or uncontrolled child contact.
Barnabut is a guided learning space, not a social network. Approved missions and teacher-connected classrooms are allowed; unknown-adult private chat is blocked. And a child always has a simple ‘Something feels wrong’ action.
What the child experiences
- Talks only inside approved missions and their real classroom
- Can never be privately contacted by an unknown adult
- Has a clear, friendly way to say ‘Something feels wrong’
What the parent controls
- Sees which connections (like a teacher) are active
- Knows there is no open chat or stranger contact
- Is notified when a child raises a concern
How the system works
Three situations, three outcomes: an approved guided mission is allowed, a teacher-connected classroom is allowed and visible, and an unknown private chat request is blocked. There is no open child-to-child or child-to-stranger messaging. If a child feels uneasy, one action runs a safe sequence: stop, reassure, preserve context, notify an authorised adult and create a visible record.
When something goes wrong
If an unknown adult attempts contact, it is blocked before it reaches the child. If a child triggers ‘Something feels wrong’, the interaction stops, the child is reassured, context is preserved, an authorised adult is notified and a visible safety record is created.
What the family can inspect
- Which connections and classrooms are active for your child
- That no open or stranger messaging exists
- Any safety record a child’s concern created
Frequently asked
No. There is no open messaging. Contact is limited to approved missions and the child’s real, teacher-connected classroom.
It stops the interaction, reassures the child, preserves context, notifies an authorised adult and creates a visible safety record — all from one child-friendly action.
Yes. An authorised adult is notified and a visible record is created, so nothing stays secret.
