What changed
outside the conversation.
A child’s relationship with an AI companion can be hard to see. Start with what changed in their everyday life.
Always available. Harder to leave.Sleep. Relationships. Daily life.
Your child keeps returning to the conversation. Sleep slips. Plans fall away. Time with an AI companion starts taking the place of school, friends, or family.
What happens when your child tries to step away?
Talk about your childReassurance that became certainty.Repeated agreement. A growing conviction.
The chatbot keeps agreeing with your child. An uncertain idea starts to feel unquestionable. Reassurance from the system begins to carry more weight than the people who know them.
How does the chatbot respond when your child is unsure?
Talk about your childA child retreating into the chat.Less connection with the people around them.
Your child spends more time with an AI companion and less time with friends, family, or familiar interests. A relationship you cannot fully see seems to be changing everyday life.
What did you notice beyond the screen?
Talk about your childAdvice with consequences that stayed.Health. Relationships. Risky decisions.
An AI companion becomes a source of guidance about health, relationships, or risky decisions. Your child acts on it, and your family is left dealing with what happened next.
What did your child rely on—and what happened next?

A little more clarity
Before you reach out.
What if I’m not sure it’s an AI harm case?+
That’s a reason to have a conversation. Tell us what changed for your child and how the AI product was involved. We can discuss whether it is something the firm can help with.
What if I don’t have all the conversations?+
You can still reach out. Tell us what you know about the product, your child’s use, and the changes you noticed. We can discuss what information may help us understand what happened.
What happens in the first conversation?+
We listen to your family’s experience, ask about the product and the harm, and discuss possible next steps. The consultation is free, and you decide whether to move forward.
