When a trend is everywhere, participation feels neutral. The images produced are often uploaded to a service, kept, and resurfaced years later.
The useful conversation is competence-based: what leaves the device, who else has it, and what a person can do if a photo is shared without consent.
The protocol
- Choose one photo-trend example and look at what the app asks for before it works.
- Read the sharing and retention language together, in plain words.
- Agree one household rule: no faces of other people without asking them first.
- Practise the response: what to do if an image is shared beyond the group it was made for.
- Set a review point, because the next trend will arrive within weeks.
What the tool does
Build a family AI-photo agreement It runs locally in this browser and sends nothing.
Limit first: This is a planning aid for a caregiver, not clinical, legal or safety advice. A tool cannot replace a trusted adult, a counsellor or emergency services.
Open the companion tool →Cost and free path
Cost: Free: one complete run in this browser, no account. Optional $4 one-time unlock allows unlimited runs of this tool on this browser. The free path and safety guidance never require payment.
Free path, in order (no cost):
- The platform's image or privacy removal request route
- The school's safeguarding or pastoral contact
- 211 for local youth and family counselling services if the situation is distressing
What this cannot do: It cannot decide the outcome for you.

One human next step
If an image of your child is shared without consent, contact the school and the platform's image-removal route immediately; both have procedures and speed matters more than perfect wording.
