Parental controls for AI chat

Useful parental controls for AI chat mean you can see conversations, get alerts, and block topics your child cannot remove — on a parent-created account for ages 8–18. Adult “parental controls” badges often skip transcripts. HeyOtto includes that parent loop; Otto is an assistant, not a companion. Full pillar: Parental Controls for Kids AI.
