My kid has a secret ChatGPT account

Stay calm, talk about trust and school rules, then replace secret adult AI with a parent-created account you can see. For ages 8–18, HeyOtto gives conversation visibility and topic limits; Otto is an assistant, not a companion. Don’t only confiscate — set a clear path they can use with you in the loop.
