Your dad can program it to not alert him with ANY notification he gets. It always asks whether the specific alert was useful and there’s an option he can select that won’t alert him of something similar in the future. 🤙🏼
Don’t get bark. It takes away the child’s privacy and trust issues can be a probable thing. What happens when your child leaves the house. 97.89% of parents who use bark have dead children cause of it…

Yea but if your child is struggling with those things,(depression, self harm etc,) people online who’ve struggled with those same things give them a sense of community and not being alone. By monitoring/blocking those things and yelling at your kid your not helping your just taking away their sense of belonging. Your the problem. Your making it worse. It’s your fault and in 10 years from now and your thinking “why don’t my kids talk to me anymore?” Remember the trauma and stripping of trust and privacy
I grew up in the height of tumblr. My self harming was made worse by the content I was consuming on there. I fell into communities that encouraged it. As an adult, I can see just how badly unlimited access to the Internet screwed me up. My kids are still little but when they are old enough I will heavily restrict and monitor their internet usage. For me its not about getting them in trouble or wanting to control them, its about making sure they don't access inappropriate content before they should/can understand it. As they get bigger and towards being an adult, the restrictions will start to come off. I would be heartbroken if my children had the experience I did online
My opinions changed when i listen to some audios (my child showed to me actually) about some hardcore emotional bullying. Maan no kidding those kids are savage as F My child did not participated But only showed the audios when the bullied kid parents, spoke about that to us (as my child was the only one who didn't participate in the hardcore bullying) Now i advice in favor of that, to control a bad behaving child but most importantly to protect our children from bad behaving childrens
Everyone hating on the ability to filter content on the internet from children aren’t educated on what is out there and how predatory it can be. You don’t need to read their text messages, but when you want your young child to have a phone for communication and you don’t want them to have free access to the vast online world it’s perfectly acceptable to use something like this and have a talk with your child about it.
Unfortunately, a lot of naive parents would agree with that disregard for the risks that are online with "most kids know better". I think it is simply a matter of a lack of knowledge regarding internet technology. The internet is a great tool when used correctly and I'd rather teach my child to use it safely and responsibly than to pretend it doesn't exist. @@systemerrorhasoccured
The app sucks like I’ve been on it for four months and I literally can’t use almost anything for like 5 minutes like my whole Internet speed slows my entire iPhone down. The vpn just doesn’t work
i have one and i cant talk to any of my friends, and im losing friends for this reason because i cant keep up with anything that happens, and bark overreact way too much on any of my messages like once i texted my mom "can you get some food?" and it flagged and said it was a warning of starvation and abuse and with some of my favorite games, i cannot think of any games at the moment but they have to be approved by first some random website, then my parent. im literally so tired of not being included in stuff with my friends. i also get so little data per month that i can only text my mom im home and thats it, i cant do anything. ive honesly bout cried because i just wanna grow up with friends, a normal working phone and i dont know what to do im sobbing anyone relate? i dont evven trust my parents anymore and i have an andriod this is like emotional abuse
i get it dude. im constatnly getting in trouble too and my parents just say, we need to talk to you. give us ur phone. and then be like, "well we need to talk but we can talk next weekend." and so im over here having panic attacks and crying bc idk what they are on about like what did i do?! another thing I hat eabout it is that there are no "green" flags. They only see sometimes when we do something bad, but never good. like wtf? i just want my parents to trust me, i don't think ive ever done anything bad. they just locked my phone again now and idk why. and they are yelling downstairs at each other so is it about me? what did i do? im sorry. sometiems i DO goof off with my friends. im almost 15. istg if people don't say dirty things at 15 and make funny racist jokes, and im the only one, I would get it. But other kids are so much worse. all it does is give me anxiety. they have no reason to have it. ive never given them a reason to not trust me. i don't know what to do and i have severe anxiety this just makes it worse.
also -i have an android-, but can they see the tiktoks that show up on my fyp? and the ones i heart? bc i heart like all of them even if i don't watch them so idekif their is bad things. i mean my fyp isn't normally bad so idk. but they blocked tiktok and idk why now. also, can they see the gc messages? if so, im fricked. my friends are so goofy and ridiculous, but also dirty, and i love them with all of my heart, they are the reason im still alive rn. but they have some weird jokes. and i hate telling them, "can u delete that? my parents will see that." because itd be constantly me asking them that and ifeel like they just slowly stop talking to me bc i can't even really talk to them as much if its not srs convo bc my parents can see it yk? but idk what all they can even see. am i getting these panic attacks for nothing?
Bark sucks. It just gives you alerts to concerning content. But i want to know everything theyre up to. My kids are great kids. Rarely get in trouble, do their chores, make straight A's, good character etc, but the moment i gave then a phone WITH RULES, they disregarded my rules and went on to immerse themselves in trash content, bullying, and worse, porn.. if kids want privacy, they can get it when they turn 18 and paid for their own phone.Its MY PHONE, I PAY FOR IT, I WILL INSTALL WHATEVER I WANT.
@@barkisover i couldn't care less. At least my kids won't be on tiktok twerking, eating tide pods and shooting Glocks with full auto switches.. I'm raising Gentlemen, and clearly, I'm quite good at it. All are straight A students who play various sports, never get into trouble and have excellent character. Unlike most of the little shitheads filling our schools these days that are easily influenced by the absolute garbage that plagues the Internet today. You parent your kids how you want, I'll do the same 😉
Or 2 you can teach them about stranger danger and only add, accept, and follow the people they know in real life and if they get weird messages don’t respond to them and block the person
I’m literally 17 and my parents are getting me a bark phone I’m about to turn 18 I think this is to much I understand using it for kids who are just getting a phone it’s a good first phone but I’m on my third phone and this bark phone is about to be my fourth one and mind you again I’m 17
I tested Bark for a few days. I found it too difficult to manage on the iPhone. There are apps I wanted her to have access to that would not work. It required too much research.
using the parental control application is just the laziest thing you can do as a parent, instead of taking the time to properly parent your child, and teach them right from wrong. You just install an app to send you what they’re doing instead. Absolutely lazy end is definitely not something to be proud of.
When I have kids I will give them privacy that they deserve as a human right and if I see something on there phone that I think that they shouldn’t be seeing we can talk about it but overall I think bark is the laziest thing you can possibly do as a parent and this will just make your kids not trust you and have horrible mental health and they wonder why we don’t talk to them
